Sacasam not intended. Serious issue yes. I agree face to face action is needed. Well done and good luck with the meetings. I have written a letter weather it does any good or not. Anyone concerned about road safety should get involved.

James Barber seems to be clued up and hope he's got some good contacts. He said he would look into this. Re: doing something,we should all make a lot of noise in the right places. (No money cut backs is a problem) You have made lots of posts and hope you intend to do something as I remember don't you live on this road? I intend to write to Southwark council,this is an accident black spot.

I have written about this junction three times in the last three months and it was only about two weeks ago we had a nasty collision and thankfully no one was seriously hurt.Something needs to be done urgently with these statistics its only a matter of time before we have a fatality haven forbid. It was the exact spot as the last crash the railings and traffic light compleatly demolished. The railings were not repaired since the last incident. I wounder if the bus was speeding or the car just pulled out or a bit of both?

The Minkey. Good on you.

Looks like he's S..T...G Himself because he's got a grand in his pants. (DIRTY MONEY)

Its lucky you haven't got a COCKatoo!

Hi,many years ago i played div 1&2 of the Ravenborne league i was at a good standard (Long time ago)I suffer a bad back these days not as sharp as i like to be. I play at Dul college tues the standards okay,but i would like a bit more of a game. How would Sat suit me? Would you mind if i come along next week?

I think this thread has gone as far as it can go.Most of us are very concerned about the speed of some vehicles along this road including me. James Barber above is on the ball and seems to know what he is talking about. The best thing we could do is speak to the local MP write to the council,make as much noise as possible and you never know. The least they can do is to paint some decent stop/give way lines at the junction of Underhill that would be a start. Good luck.

Theres a Waitrose in Mottingham Dartford and Biggin Hill and those areas are far from up market. All this fuss Waitrose is just a nice place to shop and not much more expensive then say Morrisons. I'm surprised that ED hasn't got one. After all most of like John Lewis.

As I said before im not a great lover of speed humps on a road like this.I think with at least three nasty colisions in three months we have a problem. And its mainly speed related. I would like to see two speed cameras and some raised areas near the junctions. But all this will cost ???? which is not available in this current climate and weather they would prioritise Barry rd, there are probably much worse roads that are more dangerous and have had fatalities. This is my motto: Driving is a team game where everybody is responsible for each others safety on the road.

If you would have noticed it was said the BMW driver thretened the bus driver at the top of the road,so consequently traffic calming would have slowed him down because he was speeding to get away from the incident which happened halfway down Barry rd. This a serious thread about speed road safety issues which need to addressed.

The Minkey. I'm old school ED,I don't particularly like Iceland and don't shop there and it is a bit ugly. Every time I have passed it seems half empty and I can't imagine it lasting too long in my opinion.The majority of the clientele in ED would be more suited to a Waitrose/M&S and thats a fact. Open your eyes. Im not sure if the local food stores would be too happy. (The Person who started this thread hope your having a laugh) Most people in ED would love a Waitrose including me and i'm no snob!

In my opinon if a driver/rider is traveling at excessive speed in most occasions its there fault and should pay the consequences,trouble is trying to prove it and often or not they get away with it and thats wrong.The way its going I can see traffic calming humps cameras etc on most roads. Although im not a lover of humps,if it stops idiots like this then its worth it.Money is the problem big cut backs so don't hold your breath.Its just sheer luck that there hasn't been a fatel.

According to recent tv adds,Waitrose is no more expensive than Tesco for named brands. That's food for thought! To be honest Iceland always seems half empty and I woudn't be a bit surprised if it does close down. Lets face it most people in ED would like to see the back of shops like that. Its just plain snobbery.

Hi, Im a local driving instructor and Im sure there has been at least five incidents in a year. I've seen at least three in the last six months. I don't think that Barry road is any worse than a lot of roads of its kind, but how many roads are nearly a mile long dead straight. It all boils down to a recipe for a disaster. Excessive speeds, dangerous overtaking,and above all bad driving particulary near the junctions. Something urgent needs to be done to slow these idiots down before there is a fatal incident (or has there been one in the past?). I hope there were no pedestrians near the railings.

Not his again Waitrose M&S what a bloody bore. Yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

A few weeks ago we were talking about this junction on this forum.It needs painted stop lines and sign urgently. As I said on a previous post some idiots ues it as a race track and 60mph plus is no exaggeration. At least two speed cameras would help but with all the government cut backs can't see it happening. This all results to bad driving speeding and wet conditions. The black beamer must have hit the railings at some speed judging by the demage. Was there any other vehicles involved and was anyone injured?

Dog excrement is a real serious problem, although it might be rare I've heard of some children being blinded. Most dog owners, I imagine, are OK but the ones who don't give a sh*t (pun intended)penalties should be harsh. I must confess I've noticed quite a lot of it near Piermont Green. unfortunately, who enforces the law? It isn't easy to prove, because dog owners who let their dogs do it are probably not going to take kindly to a citizens arrest. An on-the-spot, heavy fine would be great.

I'm reading some of these "interesting" comments. Yes, the coaches are annoying, and unfortunately it's not just during school times, as often the coaches are there mornings, early afternoons and evenings. We have to be careful because the kids have to go out on day trips. But what annoys me more is some of the coaches look like there on their last legs, and not to mention the amount of crap that comes out of their exhausts as they leave them running. For such a posh school, surely they can afford to hire some decent up-to-date coaches that don't pollute as much. We all know during term times, particularly around Dulwich, most of the schools have loads of coaches.

I know what you mean,plus they keep there engines running too.Very good for the environment.Not. During the long summer break the roads were haven.

Dano I think you've done the right thing. A lot of people would have kept the money, as its very difficult to trace. If no ones claimed it, then charity is the best cause. It is very difficult when your in this position because you want to do the right thing but theres not a lot you can do.

What a load of SHITE! Come on dog owners pooper scooper.

Dog excrement is very dangerious and the penalties for those who cause it should be very harsh. All of us with children see this as a very serious problem.

Surely most market sellers are there to be bartered with if they ask for ?55, just knock the price down,its part of the fun you have nothing to loose, SE22 means nothing its not Mayfair or Chelsea. If you dont ask you dont get!

Black gold as I call it,at almost ?5 a gallon its big buisness,it costs me ?60 to fill me tank. (TOE RAGS)
