I was on the first 40 bus not to be allowed down the hill to Denmark Hill station at 8.15. The driver had no idea he was on diversion til I pointed out the bollards they had put down blocking the road and he contacted the depot. None of the bus stops on the way down to DH station had any bus stop closed signed on them. I told anyone waiting that there were no buses. Great time to start resurfacing during a Monday morning rush hour when train strike is on!

If you look on the TFL Traffic Status Updates website, these works still don't show up, but oddly enough they do if you change the date to 14 March 2017 (even though the start date of the works in the detail below is 13 March).


According to the site, these are not TFL works but "Borough" works, so presumably Southwark?:

    • I have no agenda just a simple response expressing my thoughts and experience.  
    • Just as one example, the grass in a least some of  the tree pits in Ulverscroft Road appears to have been sprayed. If it's not the council who has done it, then I wonder if someone is trying to kill the trees 😭 although I doubt if that would work, as the council have sprayed tree pits in the past (ignoring handwritten notices by my then very young grandchildren asking them not to spray as they had sowed flower seeds there) 🤬 Grass in the pavement nearby appears to have been neither sprayed nor scraped out. I'm quite confused.
    • They aren't. They are removing them manually, scraping and cutting them out. I've seen them doing it on my road and surrounding roads. I can't imagine that they would have different methods in different parts of East Dulwich.
    • I see. But as I read it, Tesco would still need the agreement of the owners/ leaseholder to submit proposals, so would need Poundland’s cooperation? I suppose we’ll have to wait while this plays out. There’s applications re this site on the Southwark planning portal dating back over 70 years. In 1954, Woolworth’s applied to convert the original 4 shops here (Nos 29-35) into one Woolies but the council refused because the flats above the shops would be lost and there was a local housing shortage following the war. Small businesses being displaced by big chains on Lordship Lane was already a trend back then.
