I have lived in Barry Road environs for over 20 years and did the speed check with Charlie last year. The road is perilous and I am astounded every day by the speed of drivers. The crossing at Barry parade of shops is a joke in that cars fly tbrough amber and green lights. It needs urgent attention.

Thanks for all helpful comments and suggestions. Rang Southwark noise prevention team and have had a great reponse from them. Thanks all.

Hi Anyone else on Henslowe or Friern road (bottom) suffering from insomnia due to hard core rap being played until 1 am most nights? Torture. Especially as Henslowe is one long unbroken terrace so amplified music sounds like we're in a stadium! Who and how do you complain about noise level that keeps you awake even with windows closed?

Happened to me last summer. 2 x large planters with well loved and cared for shrubs. Happened in middle of day and I was in! A neighbour saw a car rev up the street but didn't catch number plate. There is a white van that cruises around the streets with a couple in it that seem to be on the look out for stuff but I think they look more for "unwanted" items. It's such a pain and so selfish to nick other peoples plants!

Mwah! Ha Ha!

Now spotted TWO Game of Thrones cast members in Sainsbury?s on Dog Kennel Hill. Firstly Iain Glen (Jorah, Khaleeeesiii?s biggest fan) walking past the cold meats probably looking for a poultice for his gammy arm? Secondly a rather taller than expected Owen Teale (Alliser Thorne, Night?s Watch baddie) buying veg (winter is coming after all so he was probably stocking up!).

If it's a only in the consultation process then why have the staff been given their notice?

Does anyone have any idea what is happening to Peckham Adventure Playground? The word from the staff is that it's getting the axe :(

I had my bike stolen (from inside my house whilst I slept :( ) but I was tipped off that a good deal of locally stolen bikes end up in a bike shop in The Elephant and Castle, aptly named 'Re cycling'... I went in a couple of weeks after the theft and no luck, but almost a month after that hey presto, my bike was there! I knew it was my bike because despite not having kept the frame number and all the transfers had been removed, I had customized my bike with shorter stem and different pedals. I rang the police and they actually rocked up and were very supportive. They made the man in the shop give me my bike back. They also had a look around the shop and said it was "an Aladdins cave" of stolen bikes but they explained that they didn't have the resources to unearth what was going on. My cousin found his stolen bike on ebay last month...he bid for it, said he'd pay in cash and then turned up and got his bike back!

I stand corrected Shelly7229 as I thought you meant the Barry road parade outside Barry's store. Yes, you are bang on, a zebra is needed at the bottom but I would also like to re iterate that even if we peppered Barry Road with Zebras it still wouldn't deter the IDIOTS from racing along like it's the M1. As I said before even with the traffic lights motorists are going SO fast that they barely make the red stop light. I have lived here for 18 years and seen dozens of accidents on Barry Road. Surely a couple of well placed speed cameras would do the trick?

That crossing puts the fear of God into me. I have had cars zoom past through the red light on countless occasions and my children know that the green man accounts for nothing! Why aren't there cameras and speed cameras to stop the aggressive acceleration up Barry Road? Shelley 7229 I would be more than happy to team up and start a petition. The ONLY thing that deters drivers from speeding is the threat of fines I think. I have been mid way crossing with the green man and been almost killed twice :(

I was excited by the prospect of new road humps on Henslowe road because I live on said road, have 2 small children and have witnessed DAILY occurrences of cars driving in excess of 40 mph and occasionally much faster. The old humps were completely useless as they were driven over. I agree the new humps are utterly crap. They have made the road faster. I asked the workmen why the humps were barely humps and they said "for the cars not to get damaged" Lovely. Please can we have proper humps that stop idiots driving at ridiculous speeds up the road. It's simply used as a short cut/rat run by most people who drive speedily because they are pissed off by having had to double back from Friern Closure.

So sad. A lovely guy and best flower shop in ED. Sending love to his family xxxxx

Have just spent a lovely couple of hours in the sunny beer garden with family and friends but have learned that the pub has changed owners today and many changes are afoot including the demolition of tbe children's play area. The Herne attracts so many families and is the best family pub for miles.Not sure why they have decided to get rid of play area...anyone have any more info?

I do a weekly shop at Iceland. On my last visit I was party to a very heated discussion about how upset many customers were about consequences of Iceland leaving LL. According to the managers response within this argument LL branch is an extremely profitable store. I salute the people on here who have not spoken about the "I prefer" but have spoken about the needs of the elderly & low income families who see the shop as an affordable mainstay. There were so many voices in the debate I heard that won't be on this forum.

Large grey planters nicked at 2.50 pm from front garden. Both had mature plants in. Nicked whilst I was in. About 45 cm in diameter & concrete grey. Happened on Henslowe rd. Must be someone who knows area reasonably well as you'd only have spotted them by looking over the wall. If you have any nice plants screw them down !

At around 1.30 am this morning our new neighbours were woken by noise outside their living room window (which they use as a bedroom). When they opened the curtains they found a man trying to open their side window. They gave a full report to the police. Be vigilant people.

I live on Henslowe and have rung the council several times who do come &.clear up the mess. Its foul and unnecessary as Henslowe has dog poop bins either end.

Hi Owen, We had our Honda CBF 250 nicked a couple of months ago.However we did find it again at the other side of Peckham Rye, had been hot wired and joy ridden. We had forgotten to lock ours to ususal lamp post. Might be worth a look around the area just in case. However a bike as big as yours would suggest a professional job.... such a pain!

That's actually quite funny. I will have my spell check on when said piece is being written.;-)

To call me self righteous is somewhat disingenious dontchahink!!! PMSL!

Well I guess in that it was self-defeating, counter productive and rather presumptuous. Thanks for that. I put play research because I wanted some genuine help, for some genuine research and if I'd put drag queen in the thread title it would have definitely received unwelcome responses. I'm clearly looking for help in the wrong place.

Hi, Thanks for that. I've read this info on line too. I'd just love to hear from anyone who actually knew of this character and also The Valley Club. Anyone know where it was? Computed...what so upset you about my post???! I think it's fair to ask for genuine responses as this thread
