Apologies if there's another thread on this but why are the pavement works not sorted out here by now? The kerbside is also disrupted & there is a large half covered ditch filled with water outside the old French Cafe. Isn't this a concern for the local shopkeepers too as it must affect their businesses. It is unsafe & unsightly. It would be good if this stretch of shops got a bit of attention. Is there a member of Southwark Council responsible?

Interesting to hear bsand's view that Forest Hill Road isn't in East Dulwich. Very useful thinking.


On the same basis, the forum shouldn't carry threads referring to Crystal Palace Road.


We could also exclude Chesterfield Grove and the other Derbyshire streets, plus Trossachs, Glengarry and Tarbet.


And people in Delft Way, Deventer Crescent and Hilversum Crescent should be made to post their issues on a Dutch forum.


All in all, a fine idea - should prevent EDF overload.

For the avoidance of doubt, Forest Hill Road leads towards Forest Hill, as Oxford Street leads towards Oxford. Forest Hill could have had an East Dulwich St. But chose not to. As it was already called Forest Hill Road! (Actually of course the major route into Forest Hill is London Road. Which earlier in its career is Lordship Lane).

There was another post a while ago that died that briefly mentioned this. The local councillor confirmed the pavements belong to the shops and each one would need to sort out their patch. Very frustrating and nearly impossible to implement. Maybe some kind of petition or something like that?

True. You would think the shops would be worried about someone having an accident on their land. The Galleon has terrible pock marks outside it and that ditch with the building work is very dodgy. I wonder who paid for or supported the painted bollards back on the day. They could do with a revamp and there must have been a joint effort at some point in time to orchestrate that.

I suspect the only shops who would be concerned would be those that want to use the space in question for their business - typically restaurants and caf?s.


Outside The Galleon, by the traffic lights, there used to be a rather good greengrocer's hut. The pavement in that area has never been right since it was removed.

I commented about those ruddy bollards on a previous occasion. I agree with Clifton - i don't have vested interest perhaps all i can do is raise the issue with powers that be. I will check on CGF funding.http://www.southwark.gov.uk/engagement-and-consultations/grants-and-funding/cleaner-greener-safer

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Dulwich dweller · Posted

      Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By ak0910 · Posted

      Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By trinidad · Posted

      What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
