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.

      Yiddish is written in Hebrew script, traditionally, so any attempt to use 'Roman' script will be transliteration, as noted. Hebrew script does not have vowels as such, so any vowels used will try to copy the Yiddish sound of the word. Bagel and Beigel are both correct transliterations of the Yiddish word.

      Have they still not fixed it? that's pretty shabby. I took this picture on New Year's Day and it's been like this at least since before Xmas.

      To be fair, if I saw you eating any of the parcels I'd have walked out. I noticed last night that the illuminated sign now describes this place as the POT OFFICE. Presumably THC vapes are more profitable than being a drop-off point for bloody Evri

      Housebuilding isn't that profitable and housebuilders don't have social responsibilities. The affordable housing component is just a tax on new builds. It's a total failure by government - a fantasy belief that the private sector is going to solve the state's social housing crisis for free. It's like expecting Tesco to solve child humgrr by giving away a percentage of its products. It's not gonna work - it just slows down and disincentivises private sector construction of new housing. The only solution to the housing crisis is a massive increase in the supply of housing, not a couple of "affordable" flats in a new development. The state needs to solve the problem of NIMBYs (one of whom is prominent on this thread), get out of the way of private sector developers building private rentals and homes for sale, and borrow to build a huge amount of social housing.
