moz200 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hi,Has anyone else noticed that there is dust everywhere in East Dulwich. I live just off Colyton Road and my car is completely covered, I noticed that the general are is really dust. Where the hell is this coming from? The new school/the Waterworks? I have no idea but it bloomin annoying.End of rant. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/10360-dust-everywhere/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

moz200 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hmmm, sounds like a conspiracy, could the carwash people be throwing the dust around?Well, I think it's from the school. The scaffolding is down and it makes sense that this would throw up dust. Maybe they should get the kids to come and clean our cars!

ryedalema Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I think it's the gritting that was done at the weekend (I sent a message to James Barber), it's all over Ryedale too. It's kind of cakey to wash off too - I really had to scrub at it to get it all off our car.

moz200 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 I don't think it's grit, it's grey for one thing, and my car is completely covered, including the roof, there's no way a gritter would do this, the mystery deepens...

sanity girl Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 in italy it's called the scirocco - a wind that comes from the saharan desert, bringing sand with it. When I lived in Naples the worst was when the scirocco was combined with rain - dirty red sandy stuff everywhere.ruffers Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> ????

PeckhamRose Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 A large supply of bark chippings was delivered to Peckham RyePark and distributed by men with shovels and wheelbarrows around the park.No idea if that has anything to do with the price of fish.

Sue Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Wouldn't be able to tell on my car, it's only been washed twice in about two years :)) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/10360-dust-everywhere/#findComment-305387 Share on other sites More sharing options...
reetpetite Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 The cars in Colyton rd are covered as is the road , apparently due to the lorries back and forth from the work at Harris Girl Academy . This road has suffered from this for the last couple of years due to the work on the waterworks. As soon as they finished then the work started on the school.

zephyr Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 But at least with the waterworks they washed the road - at times the road cleaning machine was working constantly. No such luck with school works - there is dirt everywhere Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/10360-dust-everywhere/#findComment-305399 Share on other sites More sharing options...
