I appreciate you are doing your very best Ms Hamvas, but failure for a couple of councils to cooperate is just not good enough. Will the transport/road safety committees wheel that old excuse out when something bad happens, as I'm afraid, it inevitably will. I spoke to a teacher at the school about it and she said the school has made its views known on a number of occasions but nothing gets done. A for effort Ms Hamvas but an E for achievement. I urge you to raise this as a major concern to the powers that be. You will have all the appreciation of all residents round these merry parts.

The water works at the top of the hill have been a boon. Please make that permanent. Fewer cars able to bomb down Forest Hill Road. Can you Ms Hamvas provide us an update on what is being planned up there. Sure you saw a car went straight into the gates of Francesca Cabrini School. Luckily, it was a Saturday and not 8.30 on a Monday morning.

Keep them coming indeed. Dogs and their dog owners must be held to account. Remember, we see who you are. You don't know us. The quiet silent majority that's saying "enough is enough." Sort it out once and for all.

I'm not one to praise the powers that be. But well done Southwark Council, everything seems to be running far more smoothly than in the past.

Gerrard, I can assure you I have no intention of representing you in anyway whatsoever. My comment was just a general gauge of the comments flowing on this thread. Renata, I have been in touch with the Southwark crew regarding the junction of Forest Hill Road/Honor Oak Road/Honor Oak Park and they said the same about the cost. They assured me other "improvements" would be addressed going all the way down FHR to Colyton Road, but that nothing was planned for what is clearly the most dangerous part of the road. To see a car having to be dragged out of the school gates was a reminder of what's at stake up there.

Mr Barber, I really do appreciate your involvement in this forum regardless of what one thinks of what your colleagues in Westminster are doing. In the meantime, I think it's clear here that the large chunk of the affected people have no desire for the 63 to be extended. It would be a huge waste of money, money that could better spent making the roads round here a little safer. This afternoon, some guy went straight into the gates of Francesca Cabrini school. Thank God it was Saturday. I have no idea how he got stuck in the gates but I'm pretty sure the chaotic nature of that junction is to blame. I have raised my concerns over the traffic at the top of Forest Hill Road ad nauseum with the folks at Southwark Council but nothing has been done. 10,000 quid would be better spent there than a feasibility study into the merits of extending the 63 bus. Please relay this to your colleagues at the council Mr Barber and Ms/Miss/Mrs Hamvas.

Neilson99, you clearly haven't read any of this thread. The problems have been identified especially well by Katrusja.

I think the concept of the essential end goal is important. Clearly now that the Overground has been extended to Clapham Junction via Surrey Quays and incorporates Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye, it would make a great deal of sense to connect those two stations with Honor Oak Park. But a double decker bus, whether 63 from Peckham Rye, is unacceptable. I think everyone accepts that a single decker bus would work. There must be some brains at Southwark and Lewisham Councils who could work something out. However, I have sought safety improvements on Forest Hill Road for a while now but the cycle of delivery looks the same. An assurance that improvements were coming, then silence, then reactivation of complaint, another assurance improvements were coming, followed by silence. I know there are severe cutbacks (accept your party line Mr Barber) but come on concillors, try and serve your community.

Snow debate is a diversion.....the points raised by Katrusja about the size of the road, the narrowness of the pavements, the implications on parking and the rhythm of this little corner of London and its oommunity are the reasons why this nonsensical proposal to extend the 63 has to be binned immediately.

Katrusja, that must rank in my top 5 of posts I have read on this forum over the years. Thank you for putting in the time and effort to go way beyond my sparse concerns. And Ms/Miss/Mrs Hamvas, I have no problem with the 63 being extended one stop to terminate at the Cemetery Gates. That would clearly plug a gap for many residents and I think is the best short-term solution. Constructive proposal which compares favourably with Mr Barber's "full steam ahead" approach.

I have over-reacted. That's not something you read on this forum ever is it? And have asked Mr/Mrs/Ms Administrator to delete the thread.

That was the best response on this thread and headline will be amended. Anyone who can't see the hundreds of pounds comment as pure humour needs to get out more.

No, they told me on each occasion that the machine wasn't working. Don't think it's just a case of me being unlucky.

Cash is king but sometimes you need a prince especially when you have young family at home and can't pop out to the cashpoint.

Its not ridiculous at all....for once I'm not carrying hundreds of pounds of cash on my person so thought I could, as i have on a number of occasions with Lombok, pay by card. Clearly, they should like, Thai Corner Cafe say they don't accept cards. No big deal. Where I've gone wrong I have no idea, but maybe you complainants are all Clapham-originates.

The only form of payment in 2013 was cash.....surely as a specific only delivery service, they should be equipped with all the modern mod-cons. Get real mate.....

Lombok has been a great delivery service for a number of years but I feel now its time has come. 3rd time running I have been informed after I have made the offer that cards and cheques are not accepted. Unacceptable waste of my time. Time taken to write this out is less than the time I lost talking to them. Service is going downhill for some reason or other and the manager was not availabe {again} to discuss matters.

Mr Barber, once again it seems you have not read one's opinion. Please consider what I have written above. I promise you things like this are not just "full steam ahead" which seems to be the way you practice your politics.

In theory, the extension down to Honor Oak Park makes sense. In practice, it has to be a non-starter. Top of Forest Hill Road is already busy enough, the turn down to the station by Cabrini school way too tight for it to be done safely many times a day. What makes it all the more difficult is the drive down to Honor Oak Park. The street is too narrow to accommodate a big red bus, there's little room for the P4 or P12 too. As an aside, the pavements down Honor Oak Park are way too small. The priority there has to be to make them bigger, not to allow big booming buses go down,

Jogging along Brenchley Gardens the other day spotted 15 sets of dog turd in the space of 200 meters. Dog owners, it's clearly not the case of one or two bad apples. Sort it out.

I think maxxi is right about the problems associated with the redesign at Green & Blue but clearly they were caught in a vice. Rent was going up seemingly and necessitated a response. This was the one they came up with. It didn't work for me either but you can't blame the guys at G&B. It's getting to be a concern what's going on on the strip but it's not just independents suffering. Look at Comet (last trading day today), JJB Sports, Clinton Cards and many many more.....these are tough times, but good times will return and those that have the spunk to invest now will likely reap the dividends. Why don't we all club together and set up our own eastdulwichforum shop.

I don't remember the dog too much , was in the middle of a run and carried on. It was fairly small, luckily, so was no big deal.

I was attacked by a dog last week on Peckham Rye Common. My view is that man and dog can no longer co-exist.

Dr Cliffe is the best......hilarious too!
