Does anyone know if there has ever been any plans for a footpath from Homestall Road to Brenchley Gardens? It seems a bit strange there isn?t one as there is one the other end. It certainly would make walking to the Honor Oak Station a lot quickly for a fair number of people. I met someone who lived on Marmora Rd who there was a talk of it a few year ago but that was all she knew.

Hi, not much more to tell. Southwark Living Streets and Southwark cyclists proposed a way through the Camberwell New cemetery to the sports field and then to Honor Oak Station. At the moment I think there is a very solid fence which is a bit incomprehensible.


This would give us all an alternative access to Honor Oak Station since TfL won't give us a bus. Access would be through the cemetery entrance in Brenchley Gardens.


The suggestion went down well but everything is being delayed by the row about digging up the concrete groundsman's area and using it for burials. If you want to be put in touch with Living Streets pm me and I'll pass you on.

Another gift from ssw then - thanks Blanche & Lewis - for ever-benefiting the people of ED and Brockley.

We've also asked that the chained up gate into the cemetery opposite the southern end of Kelvington Road be opened and made a regular access point into the cemetery. It reduces the distance (from the Cheltenham Road area of Nunhead) through the cemetery a little and might persuade a few more people that it's (almost) quicker and certainly nicer to walk through the cemetery from Nunhead to Honor Oak Park Station than get the sardine-tin otherwise known as the P12.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
