I've had some casework before on crane aviation warning lights.

From memory if the crane is 150m of greater above the surrounding ground height then it would need lights.

I suspect the crane in question may have previously been used for such a location. Risk of placing such lights if the crane isn't 150m of confusing any pilots and disorientating them. So perhaps the lights have ben removed or switch off. No aircraft should ever be flying above East Dulwich at a height they could crash into this crane.

Whilst James is right that the statutory requirements are for 150m height, the recommendations are for a lower (91.4m - 300ft) trigger. Any structure within 6kms of an airfield or aerodrome (which would include a heliport) over 10m is required to be notified.

macuted I'm with you on this ,I'm glad that someone is keeping an eye on it and not assuming that someone else will .


My remark was meant to be addressed at kibris ( who from other posts would find a natural home on a the tiny things thread) and dog duck .Clearly both have no idea of what constitutues public spirit .And clearly it hasn't occured to either of them not to read a thread if they think it's trivial .

kibris' natural position is to be a tit, I fear...

I live near the crane (Scotch Corner) and it does worry me that the light isn't always working - especially as we do - as macutd said - get some very low flying police helicopters from time to time. Does anyone have a number or a contact that it can be reported to so the problem can be resolved. Although its concerning that the crane operators don't have their own system for making sure its functioning overnight while no-one is on site.

It?s not again tonight and I?m grateful for this thread as it?s a real worry living so close by.


I?ve found Kier?s newsletter to see if contact details are on there - unfortunately the out of hours number printed isn?t correct but I?m going to text the site manager as his contact details are on there.


Will post the correct out of hours details when I get them.

    • Another bite for JAGS ( James Allen Girls school) classes are excellent too. There is also Dulwich boys but less light and airy )might be better nor as haven’t been for a while) 
    • Photos. Every single piece of litter in that photo (if you enlarge it you can see lots more pieces) was dropped by the bin men in the background. I don't blame them - it would destroy their backs to pick it all up. Perhaps they should try to not drop so much litter in the first place...  These photos were taken on the 1st March - a Saturday. The street cleaner, who does an excellent job around Underhill Road and Melford Road, bags up the rubbish and leaves them on a Thursday generally. They are supposed to be collected the same day or the next day at the latest. They weren't collected. The first photo was November. It was a very large number of poo bags. I reported it to Southwark but they took 3 days to collect it. In the meantime the bags were squashed and the faeces was spread everywhere, photo 2. It would mean that everyone who walked along that bit of road will have spread it a bit further, along with the vehicles, so that it went into a lot of people's houses.  Over to you Sue. In this photo you can see the litter that was dropped by the bin men (I feel bad as they are really nice and work really hard often going into people's properties to get the bins that weren't put out - usually at a semi-jog speed; it must be exhausting and its not their fault that Southwark doesn't give them enough time to do their job properly. Maybe they should sack their team of EDF astro-turfers to save some money?), the split blue bag with some birds sorting the contents on the pavement, and the refuse truck in the background. I don't blame the workers, I blame Southwark. I am also annoyed at you, Sue, for saying this is an exaggeration and is basically a lie; something you do all over the forum (along with the cycling trolls). I have a lot more pictures too.
    • No need to provoke you since you respond constantly to everything. It is not a gross exaggeration - I took photos. Do you not like people answering back? A bit head girl aren't you. Unkempt roads and weed-lifted pavements with dog faces bags all over the place - when the blue bags, which are regularly not collected by the LA, are split open by foxes. Again, I have photos.
