If you’re concerned about road danger - especially at this location on Lordship Lane where drivers speeding is a problem - I’d recommend emailing [email protected] and cc your local councillors https://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/mgFindMember.aspx?
Recommend listening to this podcast. The gig economy exploiting delivery riders is a major part of the problem and I personally avoid using Deliveroo, Just Eats etc...

Completely agree, and if I'm going to use my limited time and energy to draw attention to this issue I'll focus on the biggest and heaviest vehicles which can do the most significant damage. Obvs
Regardless of what hit it (clearly something very heavy) I think we can all agree they shouldn't be driving their vehicle onto the pavement and that by doing so it's dangerous.
More driver damage on East Dulwich Grove, especially worrying how it’s on the pavement but even more so next to the pedestrian crossing outside Charter East School.
Off topic much?
Back to the topic of this thread, the new permanent version of Dulwich Square was looking lovely in the sun today. Lots of people seemed to be enjoying spending time there, nice to see!
It’s a real shame that Rockets and others here continuously seek to pit two vulnerable groups (pedestrians and cyclists) against each other whilst defending motoring and criticising any challenge of the dominance of the car.
This video is a great watch on research into motonormativity, otherwise known as ‘car-brain’.
