Coming up on the bus from East Dulwich to Dog Kennel Hill I noticed on the opposite road workmen accompanied by traffic wardens fixing traffic camera signs to lamp posts.


I did not look on the Sainsbury side as the bus was almost at the top.


Does this mean cameras are already there and this thread has prompted Southwark to come out of the closet or will they now be placed to generate revenue.


Perhaps Cllr Barber could offer some insight

Great to see so many upstanding, law-abiding contributors to this thread. You're so rare to find on the roads round here. In fact, I can't remember the last time I saw a car managing to stay below 20mph on the downhill section of that hill. If we're all for upholding the law, we're all for speeding tickets starting from 21 mph, right?


If we're all agreed to stick to the rules rigidly, then it's fair enough to penalise a few yards of illicit bus lane occupancy. As it is though, no-one bats an eyelid at 28 mph in a 20 zone, and I don't see why we should get hung up about one minor infraction if not the others.


Oddly enough, I've never seen anyone on horseback near Sainsbury's either. I guess people leave their high horses at home when they pop to the supermarket.

People are often concerned that speed cameras are money-making tools. I've often thought that eliminating fines and making the penalty 3 license points instead would be an excellent deterrent (and one I'd be happy to take on the chin myself if caught).

Just got home and opened a PCN for crossing the last part white line at the top of Dog Kennel hill just about to turn right into Champion Hill.

I been up there to have a look and noticed there are these new cameras on the top of lamp posts. There white in colour and about the size of a dinner plate.

I did not notice any signs for cameras on the way up but did notice one at the bottom on the way down were there's another one by traffic lights for bus lane.

So beware when driving on Dog Kennel hill if you need to do a left hand turn.

Why have these fines and seems like cameras suddenly appeared.


There was never a problem before as common sense seemed to rule not revenue generation.


Would have thought it dangerous to turn left from the right hand lane rather then just let the traffic use the bus lane to make these left hand turns.


Southwark love traffic statistics, how many vehicles have used the bus lane to turn into Sainsburys or Champion Hill?


Southwark Council I feel have a hidden agenda in all of this regarding traffic flows.

Thanks for the warning - think you mean turning left though if you're going into Champion from Dog Kennel?

This must've been a red light camera fine, for crossing the pressure pads by the white stop line.

Pepipoo is filled with barrack lawyers and Internet experts who copy stuff from one place, paste it in another place, and then project whatever meaning onto the text they want to find.

I haven't read the whole thread, only the first few posts but THANK GOD (if he or she exists) finally this is being policed.

Why the F do people think they can drive up that bus lane if they're turning left? It's a bus lane FFS. ooh diddums it's a bit tricky having to wait to turn left if there's a bus coming up the bus lane. TOO EFFING BAD. Follow the rules of the road.

Pisses me off all the time when twats buzz up the inside when I'm waiting to turn at the proper time.

Obviously I am a pillar of the community and you should follow my example.

I to0 got a PCN for being in the left hand lane to turn into Champion Hill. I usually wait till I am almost at the top of the hill to move over, but recently I have been cut up by cars at the last minute who have almost crashed into me even though I have indicated clearly of my intention to turn left. From the angle of the photo they must have cameras showing traffic going up DKH as mine is a rear view.

    • 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".
