It is still there. I don't know how secure it is. The little bike shop in there is attended through the day.

Ring cameras are easy to hardwire install if you've got a traditional doorbell handy already (although I had to change my transformer, which was no more complicated than changing a fuse) BUT you have to pay a monthly subscription for online video storage and if the network is slow, it'll take a few seconds before the app on your phone shows there is someone at the door. (The doorbell will still dingdong using your old chime though).

As the drawing you have linked to shows, the road is 6.5m wide at the buildout on Whately Rd and 6m wide on Fellbrig and Cyrena. The buildout is wider than a car but there is still sufficient width because parking on the side of the street opposite the buildout will be prohibited - as the drawing you have linked to also shows. Your sarcasm and stories of tigers and Jeremy Clarkson are totally misplaced. #SouthwarkDerangementSyndrome

You're looking for a black lamppost about 6m high, with a camera on top instead of a lamp. They are located to cover every junction between the South Circular and all roads on the "inside London" side of the circle. Sometimes they're 100m or so inside the boundary- not necessarily right on the corner.

I'm in favour of parking restrictions because they're the only sensible way to ration scarce road space and air, but there's no excuse for them being confusing.

Most of those "empty" council properties are actually being redeveloped. It's just not true that the council is sitting around with huge parts of its estate empty for no good reason. https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/southwark-council-plan-to-bring-almost-4000-empty-homes-back-into-use/ The right to buy is madness. Second homes should be more heavily taxed.

> the local authority need to be on top of things like this How? How would Southwark councillors get Southern to train more drivers and stop them having to isolate because of COVID? I think you're really overestimating the powers the council and individual councillors have. Have a look into how railways are run and regulated in this country, for a start. It's odd how on this forum there is a Southwark Derangement Syndrome (led by a few "usual suspects") where everything under the sun is somehow the fault of the council. England didn't win the World Cup? Bloody Southwark! Rained on my morning walk? Stupid councillors! Train drivers getting COVID? Lazy bleeding Southwark again!

"DKHB just looks from their ivory tower" It's not an ivory tower. Do you think I just magically float around London in a flying chariot powered by unicorn farts? It is a complete delusion to think that public transport (and specifically for Dulwich, buses) can be significantly improved without getting rid of a significant proportion of private cars and delivery vans. There is a limited amount of road space - that's not going to change in a 2000 year old city. Equally, whoever thinks that only other people will have to give up some convenience ("why can't local people have special passes?") and pay more to fix the problem is loopy. We are all in this situation - we are all going to have to eat a bit of the shit sandwich to get out of it or we will all die in it.

>Good public transport is the answer and waiting longer for the miracle of evaporation is like wishing for unicorns. The 37 and P4 will never be good as long as so many cars are in their way. Reducing the number of private cars and vans is a precondition for improving public transport. There will never be an effortless shift for drivers from their private cars to public transport

Is this true or is it just neighbourhood gossip?

I used to live in a converted block of flats in North London where residents were not permitted to get parking permits. I expect many new builds and conversions will be like that in the future. fwiw I think in a few years with more electric engines Lordship Lane will be much quieter and the air cleaner. Being a couple of floors up will help. " I doubt there is a shortage of expensive flats for sale in East Dulwich" Flats in East Dulwich aren't going to get cheaper if we don't allow any more of them to be built!

Don't turn another thread into another personalised fight about these bloody road closures.

Two new coffee shops and a deli all next door to each other in Dulwich Village! They'll be a few doors down from the existing deli/coffee shop, and around the corner from the existing coffee shop, and down the street from the deli/coffee shop that's next to the barber/coffee shop, opposite the restaurant that does coffee and the bakery/coffee shop... I do like coffee, and it would be great if Amy of these places opened early or did more caff style food, but I wish the Dulwich Estate was more considered about which tenants it chooses so that there is a balance. Other big landlords are... https://www.dulwichsociety.com/

"Roads were built for Traffic. Open them all up to traffic and everything will balance out." This is just silly, and classic "pub bore knows more than entire highway engineering and urban planning professions" waffle. Dulwich and Peckham have a late 19th century/early 20th century road layout. The current volume of traffic was literally never imagined when the roads were built. You could abolish every speed limit and restriction and nothing is going to "balance out" to remove congestion. Demand for road space is always going to exceed supply in London. You just can't fit a quart into a pint pot... ...especially when someone is adding more to the pint pot already. There has been huge growth in traffic in the last few years with Uber, UberEats, Amazon and their imitators. The population of London is growing long term and so is the demand for transport.

I am on another forum and there was a report of another incident on Peckham Rye at around 0130 last weekend. If anyone has experienced any incidents - please do try to report them to police independently of anything you read online. It would be awful if your memory/recollection of what happened got confused by someone else's account. Even worse would be thinking "oh, it looks like the assailant has been arrested" and in fact it's someone completely different! I am totally cognisant that reporting sexual assaults and harassment must be very difficult and can be very traumatic.
