If you live in Melford Rd or Wood Vale (Southwark side) and are angry/frustrated/upset about the increase in HGV and other commercial traffic as well as cars that speed along both of these roads while taking a short cut to the S. Circular, then join myself (Melford Rd) and TA (Wood Vale) as we tackle tfl and Southwark Council for solutions.

Send me a pm, and if there is a good response we will organise a meeting (promises by ward councillor(s) to attend.)

Waiting at the Langton Rise bus stop a few times in the last couple of weeks, I have certainly noticed a significant increase in the amount of traffic on Wood Vale heading towards Lordship Lane/London Road and had wondered what was causing the increase in traffic?
Many reasons probably.The discovery of the short cut to the South Circular;Skip lorries etc relocating premises to outer London since traditional industrial areas of Inner London diminish,the many and various vans delivering online sales, sub-contracting leading to the many extra individual vans and lorries- it's endless- but as usual we get to saturation point before people realise it's affecting their quality of life.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
    • This has given me ideas for the ginger wine I love, that no one else likes!
