I spotted heavy machinery and 'no parking' cones on Lyndhurst Way today. Could it be the March unused budget is going to be applied there? Unfortunately only half the road seemed to be designated. Why do they always leave unresurfaced bits when they improve a road eg Southampton Way, Peckham Rye.

Does it match "The Ballad of Peckham Rye" by Muriel Spark?

Yes it is like a tramline. Really noticed it today while going down to Peckham rd. The other way to avoid Lyndhurst way is to break the law and cycle down the one way sections of Bellenden rd., which I am loathe to do, despite the excellent road surface.

I reckon Lyndhurst Way. Never resurfaced properly, patched, cracked, pot-holed, speed humped all its length. Even the3 school marking paint is lumpy and bumpy and at least one tree low enough to catch your face. The crossing islands force bikes and motor vehicles together at frequent intervals. It seems unloved by the council yet it is an important thoroughfare for cyclists.

Sorry failed. My picture files are too big. If you want to see the front door I live at 103 Coleman rd Se5 7tf. My phone is 07706 452436 if you need to contact me.

Haven't got a before. The door didn't merit taking any pictures of it. This is an after. I haven't done the final coats of paint yet.

Must recommend Max Holt, a local carpenter/handyman, for the wonderful job he has done restoring my front door. It had been butchered, but he replaced the stile, fitted mouldings, installed leaded glass panels and transom and brought it all back to life. My hall has been transformed by the delicate light coming through and the door is a thing of grace and beauty. Thank you Max. He can be contacted on 07899 933547
