No, I'm not a teenager/young person so that must have been somebody else! Sounds good that you were able to gently cycle down the lane before you were nearly mown down. I spent exactly an hour travelling from the Tesco Express on Copeland Road to the exit on the other side trying to get to Morrisons car park. Buses and company vans all held up. Horrendous traffic jam caused by the closure of Rye Lane.

Chadwick Boseman who was diagnosed with bowel cancer a couple of years ago but still carried on acting and trying to lead a normal life. 43 years old.

I would have thought both play areas would have been closed in the Covid circumstances!

Public transport was already normal and the roads that have been in the area for many years were normal? Not sure about your point Malaumbu and your American spelling of a kerb in the UK?

I met up with a lovely friend at Johnnie's cafe today on Lordship Lane. Been going there for around 2 years. Not been there for around 6 months due to commitments and the covid situation but they were fantastic. Social distancing meaasures were in place and the staff were fantastic.

Ben Cross, Chariots of Fire actor has died age 72. What an actor!

The closures of the bus stops and roads are killing off the shops on Rye Lane. Very empty in Primark today. Staff said it's been since the closures.

It all began in 2018 when some bloke called Will Norman suddenly decided that Bessemer Grange (and other areas) should become a Street School thing and advanced the school into putting this into action, even though the school is enclaved in a cul-de-sac. This set off a lot of repercussions in the area, which has now resulted in the Dulwich Village/Calton Avenue close off! I emailed councillors/instigators of this street scheme but never got a reply back and was busy with other things. Will Norman doesn't even live in the borough so it seems very strange that he has the upper call about what goes on. Richard Livingstone (MP, whatever) another person in the borough that seems to agree with these street schemes but doesn't realise the impact on everybody.

I'm certainly not hysterical and won't amend my post. Only the other day I was driving down Herne Hill Road towards Loughborough Junction. All the way down I'd followed a Dad and his about a 10 year old son driving on my left side, giving them plenty of room to cycle down to the junction. The traffic lights turned red. I stopped. The Dad just ushered himself and son around my car and waved his son on to follow him through the red light and beyond. The son looked pretty wobbly on his bike as the Dad was shouting out commands. I was gobsmacked as the Loughborough Junction has a lot of road works going on at the moment.

Shocking behaviour by an elected MP and she's wearing sunglasses but asked the policeman as such!

If you smelt smoke on two out of your four viewings I'm surprised you went ahead with anything, especially if you have a condition that makes you vulnerable. I hope you get it sorted.

The sudden closure of the Dulwich Village junction to cars is something that Southwark Council will surely have to reverse? What was wrong with that road in the first place? Cars and cyclists were happy to turn right into it from Dulwich Village and also left into it from past North Dulwich train station. The road has been functioning for over a hundred years with no problems so why create so many more problems onto local roads? I feel for the many residents that are now more or less enclaved into the area. Also the P4 and 37 bus routes are held up in horrendous traffic queues. Add to that the traffic going along the Half Moon Lane, meeting the traffic coming down from Denmark Hill.

This thread has only just come up tonight on the forum! Watched Apoalypse Now last night and what a fantastic film. Martin Sheen won an Oscar I think/hope. The helicopters were active in the Herne Hill/Camberwell/Brixton area all day yesterday due to activity by people intent on closing down normal activity in the area.

Went this morning around 11.15 and no queue but came out at 12 to a queue going back to the cashpoints.

It's not an urban myth! I'm sure if Southwark Council can close off an entire road then they can enforce bonfire regulations! To the OP I would say please don't do it. I'm sure there are more environmentally friendly ways you could get rid of a piece of wood.
