I drove past this last night and noticed that it looked like it was being dug up, and possibly replaced. I know it was on the 2007 wishlist for ED (other thread), anyone know anything further....they may be up to something else, but fingers crossed it is being changed, however tad concerned to what....
I can confirm that there are now some reflective barriers surrounding a small pile of dirt (similar to a big molehill) next to the Dirty Old Lampost on Goose Green Roundabout. Some would say that's not a bad days work for a gang of council workers. Or a big mole.
This "dirty old lamp post" has been on goose green roundabout since 1887, and should be considered a part of our local history. I've seen pictures of it on various websites, and I believe it should be fully restored rather than replaced by some modern art version of a lamp post.

Very good EDKiwi.....Shows how efficent local coucil contracters are, 5 weeks to dig something up ;-)....anyhow any ideas on what is going to go there.....hopefully not another council "yes i think thats want they would want" sign. Sadly i think a good bet is that they would do anything and leave it empty.....hopefully someone can prove me wrong!

    • What a ridiculous plan. If this is to stop traffic "cutting through" where do they think it is now going to "cut through" via? Has the council produced any data on the scale of the problem on Ryedale - anything to back up their hypothesis? You cannot do these things in isolation as all it does is displaces traffic elsewhere. Dunstans is going to become awful - I feel for the residents there. Councils should not be allowed to implement these experimental TMOs, they are clearly using them to circumvent proper planning and engagement. Has anyone contacted the local councillors about this? The laughable thing was the local ward councillors were concerned about displacement from the wider Dulwich LTNs on their ward so is this an indirect acknowledgement that they are being impacted?  Ridiculous.  
    • I would never leave my dog tied up outside a shop nowadays. A large proportion of ‘dogs stolen’ notices feature dogs nicked from outside shops- fancy dogs, old dogs, mongrels , all sorts. Stolen on a whim, for mischief, for profit or as a bait dog to train fighters. A thief might abandon them shortly afterwards, but the heartbreak and confusion is already done and a reunion not guaranteed.
    • It's a terrible idea, will damage trade in Forest Hill Road and is just creating a nice private road for someone to enjoy. Congestion in the road is caused mainly by delivery vans, well, let's help stamp out those scourges. And an 18 month trial is at least a year too long if you are just interested in judging impact. And there has been no consultation at all, save, perhaps, with the privileged Rydale-ers. I live a block away in Underhill and I've heard only via social media.
