This junction is a madness. Why oh why do we not have a right filter, rather than asking everyone to commit the kamikaze manouvers needed to turn right?


If enough people feel the same, (which they must do?) maybe we could raise a petition and get them to spend our council tax on something useful for once?

I agree Bruce, it's pretty hazardous.


For a while there used to be a car ambulance parked up on the corner of the Rye - I wasn't sure whether it was there as a deterrent or because there are regular accidents on the junction or both.


There's no right filter to turn South on to Peckham Rye (which turns in to Forest Hill Road by the Herne Tavern/Dunstans Road as far as I know) so you often find people at the front of the queue turning right in front of oncoming traffic just as the lights turn green.


I'd be more than happy to put my name on the petition.


I'd also like to petition for better speed restriction on Peckham Rye, especially around the juntion with Dunstans Road. People drive like complete maniacs. I wonder how many of them are parents.


Also, why is there no barrier or fence at the bottom of the downhill path coming out of Peckham Rye Park on to Peckham Rye Park opposite the Herne Tavern? It's madness - the amount of children who go hurtling down the path on foot or on bikes and there's nothing to stop them going straight on to the busy road which people drive way too fast on.

Start on online petition here: http://www.gopetition.co.uk/howtowriteapetition.php


Also see my (very long) post in the forum "Lordship Lane Gossip" regarding attending Community Council meetings. This is where all this planning stuff gets decided.

Sadly there was a fatal accident at this junction yesterday evening.


According to this story in thisislondon.co.uk


A 12-year-old girl was knocked down and killed by a bus on a busy street in front of horrified onlookers. Blessing Olayiwola, who was struck by the single decker, died instantly.


The schoolgirl was hit by the Number 12 bus on Peckham Rye, at the junction with East Dulwich Road, just after 7pm yesterday.

      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.
