Increased HGV in Melford Rd and Wood Vale

[dds29]

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?

[dds29]

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.

Not sure why this has been moved to the Lounge - Melford and the Southwark side of Wood Vale are in East Dulwich (just - the last street before it becomes Lewisham).

My fault- I wasn't sure if it was allowed in the main Forum!

As it is an SE22 issue you might want to put it in there, different audience.

It's now moved.
