Does anyone know anything about the temporary traffic lights on Bellenden Road - any idea how long they'll be there for? Tailback for almost half an hour this evening and no sign of any roadworks being carried out. What with the bridge down at Camberwell Grove it's near impossible to get from Camberwell to East Dulwich at the moment!


Thanks!

From walking past yesterday the work seems to be going at the top of Choumert Road not Bellenden Road.


Why did they have to put lights on Bellenden? no need traffic should just just flow through as usual.


Parking suspensions would not be needed on any of the roads.


Seems they are making life difficult on these roads, any thing to do with the Bellenden Road consultation? to manufacture problems to push what they want.

yea tonight there is a filled in trench 1m long extending from the corner of the junction between Choumert and Bellenden rd. It only needs a small bit of tarmac on. That's all. Not even in the road or owt. They could have finished that off today and removed the lights or not had them in the first place. Overkill to say the least.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
