Unidentified lorry shunted my car on Fellbrigg Rd


Recommended Posts

A neighbour in Fellbrigg Rd tells me he saw an extra-long lorry back into my car at around 5am on either Wednesday 8th March or Thursday 9th. All he noticed was that the lorry might have been from a plasterboard supplier (heading for the Bawdale Rd builders' merchants? Who knows...) and may have been blue. My car is damaged and I'd like to trace the owner of the lorry - did anyone else in the area see this lorry having difficulty making a turn at the junction of Fellbrigg and Bawdale? Neighbour says the lorry driver got out to check whether he'd bashed the car, but didn't leave a note - despite the fact that he obviously knew what damage he'd done.

Perhaps look at the the houses with obvious works currebtly going on near that junction and see if they had such deliveries that morning and who by.

I don't see why a large lorry would be off the beaten track like that for a reason.

I bet with an hour of pacing around you can build a map of all such sites.

A polite enquiry as to whether there's tradesmen on site who know how to fix plasterboarding and have they done it on that job (and when) - as if you were a potential customer / client - may help.

They presumably won't be aware of the collision so won't have anything to hide in that respect.

Follow-on with who do you get plasterboard from (which merchants), when was last time you used them. There's a good chance you can nail this. Once you know the supplier you can check who was delivering to that site that morning.

Fellbrigg Road is used as a cut through for many large lorries who aren't delivering close by. I believe Melbourne Grove is given as a route on some Satnavs and perhaps it's the same for Fellbrigg. It surprises me that there isn't more damage to parked cars.

A 'fastest route' option by-passing congested LL/GV north.

Actually, I think it's a fastest route based on simple geography - it's shorter as the crow flies - you would need an application like Waze to determine traffic hold-ups. The Melbourne Grove route is suggested by sat navs even in the middle of the night, when LL is hardly congested.

    • You can't refuse. TW allows you up to a 12 months after installation during which time you can continue with the fixed rate system. Then after 12 months you go on the meter rates regardless. The one benefit of this is that the meter send readings on an hourly basis and if you have consumption being registered, when you would not expect it,  (such as between 1am and 6am) , they will advise you that you have a leak somewhere and will give an estimate of how much extra this leakage will cost you after you go on the meter rates.  That way you can fix your lea(s) in advance and save money. If you cannot find the leak  inside the house, it may be outside underground, between your house and the water meter because your old lead pipe may be leaking. That stretch of pipe is your responsibility.  Then you can ask them to help you find it and if you play your cards nicely and catch the TW guy on a good day, then TW will replace your old 1" pipe with a new blue 25mm pipe.  
    • Thank you to everyone who do drop off food while they were casting their votes, thanks also to those who enquired about volunteering. It doesn't have to be an election day though to do either though, so we would be grateful to receive donations and additional volunteer help any other day of the year too. We have also just added another string to our bow, and are now re-homing unwanted electricals too, so if you have any unwanted small electricals lurking at home that we can re-home, please drop them off to use to. We only ask that they are clean and working.  we will PAT test them and assuming all good, we will find a new home for them. The Community Fridge website has details, along with a wealth of other information Best wishes Steve Albrighton Community Fridge w: albrightoncommunityfridge.org i: albrighton_community_fridge_   
    • Hello, TW installed ours in SE27 in October 2023, unprompted too. We just got a note through the letterbox informing us of the switch to smart meter and its serial number, after it was done. 
    • I've recently moved into East Dulwich. I transferred my Thames Water account to my new address, and I  have received my bill for the year. But now I've received an email from them saying they'll be out on the 8th to fit my new smart meter, which was unrequested by me. I can probably refuse but I wanted to check here if perhaps there was a TW campaign to get these installed in the area? Thank you.
