They told me "We are experiencing service losses all around London unfortunately. The estimated time for it to be fixed is around 13:50"

This Facebook group is to help leaseholders and their rights and has a wealth of information and people to offer advice. Not necessarily Southwark specific but I'm sure people there could advise on dealing with councils and the general process.

Hi,

Just following up on this as we're in a similar situation.

Any experiences of selling with Nested?

Thanks

Hi, sorry to hear that, can I ask or you PM where this happened?

Theres a free app called camscanner which can convert your photos to PDF documents so essentially the same as scanning it.

Otherwise on Rye Lane a bit to the left of Asda there's an internet cafe.

Looks like it's not going to change..

From TFL via Twitter:

"Hi, here is the outcome from the site meeting that took place to decide if we were able to site a temporary stop:

There are 8 days routes and 2 night routes that serves Rye Lane. 54 buses per hour uses Rye Lane so there are many occasions where you will get roughly up to three or four buses serving the stop at any one time.

1.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. As regards to safety this is not viable.

2.The section of Copeland Road near the junction of Blackpool Road we are unable to site a temporary stop because there is only space for 1 bus and remember we would have 54 buses per hour that serving this stop as well as that you would be blocking buses and large vehicles from exiting Blackpool Road onto Copeland Road.

3.Also there are no safe location to put a temporary stop on Copeland Road because the other areas have built out kerbs which limits the space where a temporary stop could be sited.

4.We did find a location on Consort Road where a temporary stop could be located between Braynards Road and Godman Road. We would site a temporary stop on a flag but we would need a temporary marking of a bus cage.

Overall it is not safe to site a temporary stop on Copeland Road for the upcoming works on Rye Lane"

I've seen others say there has been a stop in the past when works were done so wonder how that was allowed then and not now..

Ours was fixed by the engineer today - broken cable outside so fingers crossed for you!

Still down for us on East Dulwich Road too, told as it's been constantly down it's a specific issue to us rather than this area issue but engineer coming tomorrow finally! Also thinking of switching but can anyone comment on Sky or BT's reliability as being any better?

Down for us currently too!

There's one recently been put in to the Esso garage on East Dulwich Road which is handy!

Hi all, has anyone had any recent experience with this nursery?

Thanks!

Hi,

We're looking for nursery options/feedback for our baby in October when she'll be 6 months.

This thread is a couple of years old so any new opinions or suggestions of places welcome! (by the look of posts on here about crazy waiting lists we realise we may have left it rather late unfortunately!)

We use Naty which are biodegradable and seem good for baby's skin. We had the same concerns about waste however interestingly when looking into this more discovered that within Southwark all general household waste is sent to the waste management facility not landfill (except 2 weeks a year) so technically it doesn't matter if it's biodegradable or not as it's all burnt and turned into energy!

From veolia:

"General waste goes to our energy recovery facility, where it is used as a form of fuel and incinerated to provide heat and electricity to power local homes. On occasion, if the energy recovery facility is not receiving waste (e.g. for a fortnight a year the facility has a period of downtime for maintenance and repair), the waste might then go to landfill. However, when being used for fuel, biodegradable or otherwise wont make a difference but this is only specific to Southwark residential general waste. I hope that helps"

Hi,

Looking for recommendations for Automatic driving instructor please?

And how many lessons did you take before doing your test?

Thanks!

Thanks for that, good to know. That was also a factor for us, Kings is about 7 mins vs. 25/30 for st thomas.

Any other recent experiences welcome!

Hi,

Just wondering if there are any more recent experiences with either of these? I know reviews by nature tend to see to normally particularly negative experiences (and a few extremely positive) but some of the reviews I've read of experiences of postnatal care at kings have been particularly worrying.

Hi,

We've bought a space saver cot and the mattress measures 90 x 52cm but I cannot find any sheets that size! I can find lots which are 100 x 52cm, would that be safe and ok for baby (i guess could tuck under?) or too loose? Any alternative suggestions? Thanks!

Great thanks, will keep a look out in a few weeks!

Hi,

Has anyone here done the NHS antenatal classes and what did you think of them?

Also how did you hear about them and book on? My wife is week 25 and has been told nothing yet. We've emailed the midwife twice but no reply so looking for information!

Thanks

That mustve been scary James! Was that recently and where abouts are you?

101 hold time was a joke and top police chief says it's a waste of time

What else can we do?

Thanks,

The petrol station area of EDR. Yes lights were on too which made me think it was a bit odd if it was something suspicious unless seeing if people just leave lights on when out...

Hi,

May be nothing but with other crime in the area I thought better to give a heads up.

At about 10.30pm tonight a man knocked on our door on East Dulwich Road, i said hello through the blinds a couple of times then he said he must have the wrong address. I saw he didn't try the flats upstairs and walked off down the road. It all seemed a bit odd to me as it's fairly hard to confuse our address with others. He was a black male, bald, fairly stocky,looked mid 30s. Has anyone else experienced similar?

Not sure it's worth a 999 call but have been on hold to 101 for 35 mins now, perhaps can report online?

We have fibre up to 50mb in SE15 3PL but every night the speeds drop ridiculously slow, don't think I've ever seen it at 50. Moving house to East Dulwich Rd and have been offered vivid 100mb for ?29 a month, any comment on if it's any better/worse around there? Would we be better off with Sky or BT Fibre? Thanks!

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good dry cleaners in Peckham/East Dulwich? And prices?

Thanks!
