Exactly, lewisham have been visibly proactive for years on this. Southwark appear to be joining in now. This is the most low hanging of fruit to ease and improve an important aspect of southwark residents' lives, transport. Also agree the defeatist attitudes about cost will ensure it never happens. Who is the petition to be delivered to? Can the councillor a tell us what the motion that was passed said? What are the next steps? Is southwark commissioning a report Into the business case and benefits?

Problem is at present there is no concrete plan. For things to get to that stage then support is needed for the idea in principle. During consultation periods concerns such as those you raise can be aired.

I don't see how any of it would be destroyed. All of London above ground is normal with the tube underneath. I suppose some established trees potentially which would not be ideal bit otherwise the common is grass which is easy to repair I would've thought.

It would help if people can be a bit more longsighted and accept that these projects require long term sustained agitation by residents so that when money is available the will is there. Please write your MP. the fact that crossrail and crossrail 2 are higher on the agenda than SE improvements is shocking and requires action. It seems highly likely that infrastructure projects are going to be used to get us out of recession and therefore having a well thought out plan and political support from our GLA members, MPs and councillors means that when money is available this could get signed off on.

The Peckham Rye Common station suggestion is very attractive. Within easy walking distance for residents of ED, Peckham, Nunhead and honor oak. The overground and rail from HOP and rail from ED are stretched during peak. This clearly will be a massive benefit for residents of all these areas. The other options via old Kent road etc would not benefit us and we would remain a transport black hole relying on buses via congested roads or the above creaking train routes. DOI: no engineer. I cycle to work in E1 and would continue to do so Bakerloo or no.

Lewisham have been discussing for years, noting the importance of keeping it on the radar and needling the mayor. Southwark are relatively silent (unless southwark council meetings can't be read online).

Hi Renata Does your petition correspond to option 1 from the TFL report http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakerloo_line_extension_to_Camberwell or another option? This has been on And off for ears. How do we actually get some traction and make progress on this? The inequality between north and south over the tube s plain for all to see. The need for infrastructure investment has also been highlighted. A stop in Peckham rye would benefit ED, nunhead, Peckham and HOP residents. The national rail services to London bridge are over stretched and unfairly priced when compared to a similar tube trip. How do you intend to take this forward? Cross party support from all the councillors and MPs in the areas that would benefit from the option 1 plan would surely carry some weight with Boris et al. Shaun

A good value tasty pizza place like Franco Manga in chiswick - rustic, not stuffy and excellent value

Do any other cyclists use the Willowbrook Rd turn off into the Surrey Canal Path? It involves a right turn, crossing the other lane on what is effectively a blind summit. Cyclists have two options, hugging the gutter then moving out into the middle of the road, hoping they're allowed to do so in time, or to take the middle of the lane earlier and hope the cars behind are patient enough to not try to kill you. I tend to the latter. Today someone forced me into the middle of the road between the two lanes, undertook me and then swerved in front of me while braking, forcing me to brake and swerve, coming very close to me. I took this as an attempt to force me off my bike rather than an attempt to physcially hit me which I'm sure he could have done easily. Had aggro at this bit before but nothing this bad. 1. What should I do? I have his number plate. Don't know if there is CCTV there. 2. If anyone else has problems here do they know of efforts to change the junction/add a filter lane or other solutions. Thanks

Hi everyone Could I please have some advice on local GPs? I'd ideally like one which offers evening appointments or weekends. I appreciate this has no doubt been asked before ad nauseum however I haven't been able to find anything useful. Thank you. Shaun

Just wanting some advice on some good local GPs. Suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Focussed over honor oak park area (seemingly) for past 10 mins. Searchlight hasn't Moved. Anyone know what's happening?

Hi We've just moved to the area. Derrick has been round this afternoon (thank you for the tip above) and has given us a chimney balloon, some light bulbs, radiator panels and some sound advice on door insulation. Our taps were aerated already. I'd reccommend him. Best of all it's free.
