Wondering if anyone saw this? My car was parked on Crystal Palace road near the great exhibition pub on Thursday evening (28 Feb) and it got driven into. Looks like it was a white vehicle that did it and it must have been going at speed because it did quite a lot of damage. Anyone see anything?

I'm not sure exactly of the location of your car so can't comment, but I would like to say on numerous occasions I have seen cars parked too close to the island on the corner where whateley meets cpr going towards east dulwich road.


Luckily I have a fairly small car & have always managed to get through but I have seen cars & other vehicles having to go on the wrong side of the road to get through.


It's common sense to know how close you should or can park next to an island! Yes there there are no road markings there if my memory serves me right.


To be honest any car parked there I think deserves a good knock, because next time it may make people think about their actions!

After all, if the police were to pull up those drivers who have to drive on the wrong side of the road to get through... These drivers would be well & truly shafted!


Sorry to post on here, I was always meaning to have a rant on here about this but never seemed to get the right moment to.

If was near the pub, it was near the island. It's quite possible to park legally there but in my experience it's not a wise thing to do, as it doesn't leave much space for vehicles to get by. I've actually had a car written off there. I'm pretty sure I told our councillor about this but nothing has happened.

If you read my post carefully its states to the OP's post, "im not sure exactly of the location of your car so can't comment"


It might help if you read the post properly before jumping on your high horse!

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
