I heard he had a heart attack, and according to a child from Francesca Cabrini, it was a teacher at the school. My condolences to his family (and if it was a teacher, with the staff and pupils at the school).


And again this morning a Fire command unit plus several ambulances and paramedic cars, I didn't see exactly where but looked to be the junction with Brenchley Gardens/Canonbie Road and Forest Hill road. Does anyone know more?

Incident 6th July

I have contacted the Office at St Francesca Cabrini Primary and they have informed me that the man who collapsed on Forest Hill Rd was not a member of staff at the school. The first aiders from the school were at the scene, assisting, so the child may have seen a familiar member of staff.


My greatest condolences go out to the family of the man.


Incident this morning 8th July, I haven't been able to find out any information about this yet (so hopefully this means that it was a minor incident). I know this junction is an accident hotspot and I hope it will be improved when the junction, crossing point and traffic management works are done on this road.

Thanks for confirming Renata, and apologies for the misinformation.


Whilst not both RTA's, 2 incidents in as many days does focus the mind that this stretch of road is very very busy at school times and dangerous with parents parking up on the kerbs, on the zigzags and in the bus stops etc. Yesterday I witnessed a 'lady' in a huge 4x4 casually pull up in the bus stop to collect her kids. When a driver going past admonished her behaviour (in quite a reasonable manner) he got hurled abuse.


Will those parents who drive to Cabrini please think about the further consequences of their "Quick drop off" point? I know the school does try to dissuade this dodgy parking, but it doesn't seem to stop.

There has not, to my knowledge, been a significant road accident at the top end of Forest Hill Rd for at least 7 years. A few people bump into the back of the car in front of them, probably because they are travelling too close together. The intersection with Brenchley Gardens further down the hill has many more accidents. Is this the "hot spot" you are referring to, Renata? What "junction, crossing point and traffic management works" are being planned? Will the residents be consulted at all?

Ralee, I did post here about the incident on 8th July, for some bizarre reason it was moved to the Lounge. Sadly on Friday morning an 81 year old lady died in a house fire on Honor Oak Rise. I went up to talk to fiends and neighbours on Friday afternoon, including one who tried to rescue her, but were beaten back by thick smoke. I ask that those of you who have elderly friends, relatives & neighbours check that they have smoke alarms and that these are in working order. My condolences go out to her friends and family.


Sheilarose, yes it is the Brenchley Gardens/Forest Hill Rd junction I am referring too. I think the project which stretches from the junction with Colyton Rd right up to the boundary with Lewisham just past Cabrini School is in the very early stages. There was some preliminary consultation with members of the public at a Community Council meeting a few months ago. I will contact the Southwark Traffic Team and post back. I don't think much is happening yet, just the preliminary stage of traffic flows, speeds etc.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • 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 🙃🙃
    • 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....  
    • 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
