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

    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
    • Just shows, to me, once proud to be a citizen of UK.. now.. well if we pay/contribute to services - nhs, police, fire etc and folk who have made this there home - no matter what creed or culture.. for the love c of God, can someone  please explain to me.. how we have working royals who like them or not, have tried and continue to actually support and make a change and then we have Andrew.. who just destroys everything.. not just him, or royalty but his own children..  I had great admiration for The Queen - and respect.. as have a huge number of people.. but.. these old traditions where gosh.. live rent free and can’t get chucked out until I believe 2070? From what I scanned..well he has and continues to have it all.. has to go thru what old rules? Etc.  doubt very much he has even kept the upkeep maintenance up on his abode.. and do the shite keeps on pulling up.. What has Andrew done for UK or for that matter since he was 20?? Do please tell me       Totally off topic, before anyone jumps down my throat.. I just do not get how anyone is proud to be British at this point in time. Whoever is in power, seems to be able to help themselves to the public purse with no redress at all - Covid is a great example of lining of pockets.. Millions  given to Rowanda, so one is led to believe, to help with refugee problem and one can’t get a plane load off!  I simply do not get it at all. Use of food banks in UK growing yearly, homeless as well, nhs, police, fire service etc all on their knees..
