Small dark spaniel type running frantically on Peckham common into traffic and out again. Me and dog walkers tried to catch it but it ran at speed back into oark Just now 11,08 am Tuesday

Good news! I asked Southwark and this is reply Good morning,The restrictions are only enforced during term times. If you receive any tickets in error during the school holidays, please let us know.Kind regards,Tobias Allen

Summer holidays in a week or so-am I right in thinking this is suspended for their duration?

In these traffic calming times, with benches appearing in strange and random places, couldn't Southwark plant some benches on widened pavements near Northcross Road Market so we can sit and enjoy our takeaway coffees and pastries?

But The residents parking system was not introduced in order to reduce local car ownership but to reduce outsiders coming in and parking. That’s how It was sold to us. So the doubling of the fee which was originally to pay for the system management is pretty cynical. There was no notice of this increase and no ‘car reduction/environmental justification’ message from the council.

It’s gone up by £100 to £225

Southwark vowed that any residence parking system was not a cynical money making exercise. Our residence parking-,which a majority of residents voted against implementing,- has just doubled its annual fee out of the blue and without notice.

Warning from the future! Ours (Bellenden) started at a cost that covered ‘administration’ . It has just doubled in cost without notice.

She was there last week, if it’s the one I’m thinking of, and my first try- absolutely delicious and huge slices of cake. One slice lasted two of us two days of eating it!

but how would they differentiate between users? We have always thought there should be a sign at top of Lyndurst Way discouraging HGV's and coaches with a weight limit. We regularly have articulated lorries trying to negotiate the Maxted Road/Nutbrook Street corner. As for the bollard on our corner- it is too low for a lot of vehicles to see until it is too late.

yes lets really finish off the shops and businesses

However the signs don'make no mention of 'operating during term time' and I suspect this will be implemented throughout the summer and other holidays as well. Cars turning left into Adys from Nutbrook- including huge lorries that use the route- once they see the sign, won't be able to escape via Gowlett Road as that section is also in the zone. Cars coming into Adys from the South and then seeing the sign will have to divert down the very narrow section of East Dulwich Road that runs by the church

European cities that have minimum cars are the ones who have put in place a swift, safe, reliable and cheap public transport system first. Then public transport becomes first choice, as it does for residents in central London where it is plentiful. Not the ones who cut buses, cut trains, have trains stopping at ridiculously early times in the evening and then discourage cars at the same time. People use their cars when it's a pain in the arse to get somewhere that- as the crow flies- is not too far away, Or it's too scary to wait for a bus on a dark wet street..

the jam is definitely caused by the East Dulwich Grove lights though because the entry from Lordship into EDGrove is usually clear flowing until it hits the queue - which is then given only a minute or two on a green light and fails to progress.

Yesterday afternoon and this morning the four? Way traffic control system around Townley and Greendale had traffic jammed in every direction for invisible roadworks. It looks like the lights give equal Priority to each road’s turn irrespective of volume coming from that direction. The queue turning left into EDG from Red Post Hill- already held up by a badly placed bus stop practically on the junction-, goes all the way back to Sunray Avenue.

We in le petit Village Bellenden are happy enough to be in Peckham, we don't need to pretend it's East Dulwich.

I'm not surprised. One of the bus drivers proper tears down Grove Vale.

i think it was a covid measure to space out visitors.
