As someone who formerly relied on the P13 for the nursery run while pregnant, I'm so grateful I'm not using that route for the moment as the road has been closed for almost a month! As the P13 also serves Sainsbury's ... surely there are people who rely on this route for getting out the house and their shopping (thinking of older people especially)


How can it take so long to do one teeny bit of road?!

Considering the large number of men ?working? in Whateley road I do not understand how the progress is so slow! I wonder if there is a phone number on the barriers around the work. Maybe we could all ring whatever company is doing the work..

The so-called works at Whateley Road seem to be complete. But I suppose it will take the 'workers' another 4 weeks to remove the Road Closed notice! So hard luck P13 users, who have been treated very shabbily by The Mayor of London & TFL


Why oh Why was the P13 diversion not via Roads like Pellat Rd, Barry Rd, Crystal Palace Rd (to name but a few) instead of closing off ALL Underhill Road - including the old Folks care home in Underhill Rd? I guess TFL either don't care, or they're having a laugh. I don't suppose we can swear on this site. Pity - as I can think of a few choice words I'd like to address to TFL & Mr. Khan!


Having said all this, I must compliment the P13 drivers who have done their best to help in trying circumstances over which they have no control.

The side roads would have be tested for suitability for the buses used, along with route learning for the drivers.


Using the main road ensures that the buses can be kept to as close to the route as possible without any major delays, but I emphasise with Underhill Road residents who have been without their bus route for a month.

The resurfacing of Whateley Road between Lordship lane and just beyond Landcroft Road is now timetabled for next Thursday 12 April.


It was postponed due to the weather from memory and the earlier closure in March.


So expect the P13 to be diverted again.

Farcical. you couldn't make it up if you tried, why don't you inconvenience everyone AGAIN. Oh BUT you are.


What seems to be forgotten is that people rely on the P13 who live on roads adjacent to Underhill so that they can get to Sainsburys DKH. Being on diversion will again further inconvenience a great number of people. Someone needs to get this sorted ASAP.

oops realise the irrelevance of this ... I did not realise how we depended upon the P13 until it did not adhere to the proscribed route

Who would believe that we are living in a leafy suburb of a major city

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
