Thanks Huggers that's v helpful .

Can you tell me more Huggers ?

Thanks .

what does ESPH stand for ?

I moved from The Neighborhood Vet to Ellie in Norwood Rd ,Herne Hill . One of our cats has a skin problem which the NV were unable to resolve after many v expensive tests and a v expensive prescription .I was defeated by seeing a different person each time and by being given conflicting advice eg bath skin with salt water v.absolutely don't do that . Ellie is marvellous and sorted our cat out immediately .

Thanks for this Pugwash . I'm plagued by tinnitus and hearinmg loss so any pointers will be gratefully received .

So sorry everyone missed the fact that the clinic was a chiropractioner in Crystal Palace Rd .

Not sure I quite understand tash b's post but ...it's more than a 5min walk from Barry Rd ( say from the junction with Silvester) to The Neighborhood Vets and Barry Rd is one of the roads where a CPZ is being considered .

I live on Barry Rd and I don't see people having trouble finding places to park .Of course it's a long road and there may be pressure on spaces at the north end near Peckham Rye . I am concerned however by the proposal to restrict parking by having yellow lines across all existing dropped curbs and extending each side . This will remove a number of spaces .

I'm inclined to agree RahRah ,I particularly grieve the replacement of a planted space with a hard surface and a vehicle .Especially when accompanied by wheelie bins displaced on to the pavement .

What is this consultation pack that people are referring to ? Is it a hard copy delivered through the letterbox ? How can I get a hard copy of the plans ? Does seem a very short consultation period .And only ONE drop in session for non business people ? I see that where there are existing dropped curbs giving access to forecourt parking new double yellow lines are proposed extending across the dropped curb and either side of the access . Presumably to aid vision .And decreasing parking . Does anyone know the measurement being used to determine the extent of restricted parking either side ?

Eileen that is very helpful indeed and I shall do as suggested and email. I'm not bold enough to reproduce a copy here but if someone could I think that would be a good idea to encourage others .

TFL on twitter ( thank you for posting ElliottW ) say "The section of Copeland Road near the junction of Sandling Close we are unable to site a temporary stop because there is not enough space so if we had three buses serve the stop at the same time which is highly likely then there is a zebra crossing as well as that it is on a bend in the road. So if a bus stops at the temporary stop another vehicle will overtake it and there is highly risk that there would be a head on collision with another vehicle heading in the opposite direction. As well as that you may have a vehicle and pedestrian incident because the zebra crossing is so close. Also there is a tree which needed to be cut back to accommodate the buses." Concerns about the zebra crossing do seem valid ,possibly also the overtaking factor . Maybe the risk assessment has become more stringent since the last diversion .

Bic Basher - some of the buses will stop on Copeland Rd near Bournemouth Rd if you ring the bell .But annoyingly it seems to be at the drivers discretion . If I knew who to approach to formalise this I would .Anyone know ?

Agree with your analysis Blah Blah though you seem a little sanguine . Personally I worry that there will be a serious accident ( might even involve a car and a pedestrian ) before the works move further along the road . At 10 weeks a section this is going to leave ample time . I'm no expert in road/traffic management but I hope someone who is has a look at the situation and takes appropriate action .

Pedestrian traffic is not easy to negotiate through - this is a very valid point .With no through vehicles pedestrians will become more and more accustomed to using the road as an extension of the pavement . Although at the moment an absence of traffic is not guaranteed . A car flew up Rye Lane southbound and turned right into Choumert Rd . Even on long straight Barry Rd I have never seen a car driven at such speed . It did ( narrowly ) miss an oncoming bike. I think the car had crossed over the midpoint of the road prior to the right turn .

The page for renewing a prescription also won't load .

Sidhue - yes by MyGP and PatientAccess . I've read that pop up notice - it didn't occur to me that this meant no more on line booking .Perhaps it does .But...madness to go back to everyone ringing up surely ? Although I booked an appt on line a few weeks ago ,with said pop up in place .

Over last 2 days I can sign in but booking page won't load - is this just me ? Anyone else having trouble or has been succesful?

I think it's going to go where the perfume counter is ,the area behind the front window on the right as you look at the shop from the road . Sally the sheets are flat and they had single ,double and king .They are all large .

Wow the fabulous Krystals are getting a Post Office ! How I love that chemist/shop . The pharmacy is efficient and helpful , and they have so much stock. So many chemists have to order in the most basic of things simple dressings,sterile water ,common drugs . And as for the shop ..what an Aladdins cave -my latest find has been fantastic ex hotel beautiful cotton sheets for ?4.99.Not on shelf last time I went in but still available . Perhaps we could have whoever is the chief pharmacist there for PM ?

There is something that can be done - educate and inform ppl that although within the law their actions have damaging consequences . I think the OP is doing this .

What are the problems with the bus companies ?

Well maybe I have a peverse view but to me that situation is one where ED is well served by public transport but the sheer weight of traffic/congestion results in slow journey time for all road vehicles with 4 wheels . The area is well served by bus and train .There may be particular destinations where an underground service would hasten the journey but that doesn't equate to ED having abysmal public transport .
