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.

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By malumbu · Posted

      Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm

      If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
