It would be really good to have an entrance to Goose Green in the northwest corner (by the junction of East Dulwich Road and Grove Vale), so one could walk across the green instead of up past the roundabout and along the heavily polluted East Dulwich Road in order to cut in to the Green there. It seems that a lot of people would be moving that way between the station and the green (and vice versa) and yet the direct route is effectively blocked off.

yea I thought there were too few entrances as well. Went in it for the first time the other day to eat my fish and chips from the new Rose's fish bar place (v. good I should add) and ended up having to walk the length of the damn park to get in it! Should have just hopped the fence but I had a bike with me.

Funny that .. I walked through G.G today .. it was strewn with Fish & Chip boxes 5-6 from Rose's place..

Ady's rd. end.


I visited Rose's first week it opened.. FREE CHIPS it said in big letters but was told offer had ended after 2 days..

I wanted to eat in so asked for a plate.. Was told Restaurant was close but I could eat outside but no plate.

Just a box. No salt and vinegar on the tables.. had to go back inside to get some. No metal Knife and Fork.

Plastic wood.


The owner became extreemly abusive when I mentiond another F&C's place nearby saying the fish there was frozen..

Which I doubt. ?


A notice outside stated her fish was fresh daily from Scotland. ?? Private jet. ?


Anyway it was't the best Fish & Chips and the batter stuck to the bottom of the box and was very greasy.

The chips were very poor. Little crispy bits.


It wasn't a good experiance.. but it was onl their 3rd day being open.

Surely dog owners who let their dogs off the lead can control their dog?


Oh, I forget, some can't.


(not directed at you, just the other dog owners who are slowly turning young children to fear dogs as the owners can't control them. I have experienced this many times in GG. My 4 YO fears dogs).

it's not about being able to control one's dog or not - it's yet another hazard for people in charge of dogs (or children or any other beings with more energy than sense) to worry about. perhaps the gates could be fitted with self-closers.

while we're on the subject, a gate at the corner of East Dulwich Road and Adys Road would be good too.

What a wank comment that does exactly what in the first sentence it denies that it is trying to do.

Out of control ?

Yeah I should have remembered that when the tosser left the gate open when it was too inconvenient for him to lean over and close the gate from his racing bike. And also I should have remembered it when the dog was hit by a car moments later.

Out of control, yeah that's it.

nice.

If you have gates without paths, you will have unsightly bare patches across the green where the grass has been worn away.

That would solve the Parking problem and bring in loads of revenue..


..and would be a huge benifit to those people with allergies to tree and grass pollen.


..then pedestianise Lordship Lane


.. and then ........

And then.....They could build a Waitrose...

which would I'm sure delight some locals :)

I'm sure there's a sensible health & safety reason for not having an entrance right off a busy roundabout but they could definitely add one near the EDR corner (the service road side rather than the busy side)


The gate near the church hasn't worked for months so may as well not exist but they've just spent an eye watering amount redoing Camberwell Green - they can obviously afford to replace with self closers and add one path.

Actually I asked James Barber about a year ago to get self-closures on all the gates plus sign to remind people to close after using. It was done and worked well for about 6 months. Now the gates don't work so well and people still leave them open. I think the gates get quite a lot of abuse from the people using them.

The pedestrian gate opposite the church is in full use.


I've used it several times recently.


Are you confusing it with the entrance for cars etc further down, which is only open when there are events on the Green and people with stalls etc need to drive in?


And didn't Camberwell Green get lottery funding, or have I mixed that up with something else?

Southwark News reported it as ?1m for the park revamp. It's difficult to say where all that came from, as it was bundled up in the ?13m revamp of Camberwell including the library etc. TFL certainly gave a slice for the whole scheme, but I'm pretty sure most of that million for the Green would have come from Southwark's Parks And Open Spaces budget. They certainly took the credit for it :-)

I've heard of Kissing Gates Foxy, but a Frigging Gate is a new one for me...

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
