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.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
