Hi dbboy,

Councillors are aware and have made council officers doubly aware that after this cold winter, and it was bitterly cold over the weekend again, that we have many more potholes exiting this winter than usual.

We've assigned another ?4M for road and lighting renewals this coming financial year of which ?3.2M will be spent on renewing roads. Thats a lot of potholes and roads be fixed.


But all those potholes can't be repaired quickly. While the weather is still freezing overnight more potholes will appear. Water seeps in cracks, freezes and when thaughing cracks the road surface further creating potholes.

HI


As a cyclist I second this motion, in fairness the massive pothole outside netto has been filled in since I reported it, but there has been many more I have also reported via the LCC tfl link that haven't even had an acknowledgement let alone any repair works done. Rye Lane is lethal.

James,


The whole length of Rye Lane requires attention, it's not just a case of filling in potholes, it requires a FULL resurfacing. If you look at the centre of the road that's where the damage is. No idea what has caused it, it may be the winter, but I can guess at something else.


Public funds should be used appropriately and not for what ineffect is a cosmetic job on the Nigel Road junction replacing what seemed to ne a useable road with "pretty" looking bricks to slow down traffic onto a side turning, width restrictions and reshaping the jumction. This causes traffic chaos as a consequence in the morning. PUBLIC funds should be better used for where the needs really exist.


Is this work being done as it's the end of the financial year and the Council need to maximise it's spend. The councillors who signed off the work and Council Officers who recommended this to be done should be held to account and then fired on the spot.

The Councillors for Rye Lane are Mark Glover and Gordon Nardell - why not try emailing them - presumably they will be very engaged in getting things sorted, as it's their patch and they should be able to tell you what is planned for the Lane. (No offence to James by the way, I'm sure he's very engaged too - but the Lane is a Peckham ward issue, not ED).

What a gear notion LadyM. Let's lobby the council to give them individual names.

May I somewhat inevitably suggest Mott The Hoople for the one nearest the CPT.

On the basis that the bassist Pete Overend Watts never met a bike he didn't like.

Now there's a thought...and what about names such as "Whizz Kid", "At the Crossroads", and "Movin On"...the potential for creative naming of bike racks is virtually endless. Though perhaps not "No Wheels To Ride", as one wouldn't wish to give the local bike wheel thieves an excuse to steal. Would one?

LadyM, I could not be more in love with you.

You teased me with 'Whizz Kid' but then you throw in 'No Wheels To Ride', which of course it would take a heart of stone to resist. You temptress.

I can do nothing else but fall at your feet in helpless adoration.


Obviously apologies to Mister LadyMuck, but in many ways it serves him right for getting involved with a 'Midnight Lady' such as your good self.

    • Is  the  decision by the High Court not to  deport an Eritrean man  to France on Wednesday anything other than a massive boost for Farage and reform. Farage has made a commitment for the UK to exit the ECHR which limits the independence of our justice system The UK Government’s “one in, one out” has failed at the first hurdle - just as the Rwanda scheme did under the Tories. To make it even more embarrassing is that the accommodation for deportees   in Rwanda paid for by the UK is now being used by the USA for its deportees. If we are to have Farage thrust upon us as a result of such judicial decisions, then God help us.
    • I recently hired Andy to paint the newly plastered walls in my front room, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the start, he offered a fair and reasonable price for the work, and his professionalism really stood out. Andy has a wealth of experience and was happy to share suggestions about colour choices and paint types, which made the decision-making process much easier. He completed the work within the agreed timescale, and I am very happy with the finish.  What impressed me most is that Andy went above and beyond what I initially asked. He not only painted the room beautifully but also helped with extra tasks such as putting up the wall bracket, curtain poles, and curtains, and even gave me a hand moving furniture between rooms. That level of support is rare and very much appreciated. If you’re looking for a painter and decorator who is reliable, trustworthy, reasonably priced, experienced, and willing to go the extra mile to help, I would highly recommend Andy.
    • John recently skimmed the walls in our front room lounge, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. From start to finish, he was professional, punctual, and easy to work with.   He arrived on time each day and kept me updated on progress, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The quality of his plastering is smooth, even, and ready to paint with minimal prep. He takes real pride in his work.   John was also very tidy, laying down protective sheets and cleaning up thoroughly after the job was done. It’s clear he respects his clients’ homes, which I really appreciated.   On top of that, he’s friendly, approachable, and trustworthy someone you feel comfortable having in your home. His pricing was fair and transparent, with no unexpected costs.   Highly recommended if you're looking for a skilled and reliable plasterer. I’ll definitely be using him again for any future work.
    • You what???   Think you Should have gone to woodfalls 😁
