I moved to Fernholme Road last year and I find it shocking to find a thread from 2015 about this issue?! Seems to me this speeding issue has been going on for years and I cannot believe that nothing has been done about it... in the past 3 months I've almost been hit by numerous drivers that are using this road as a shortcut and think quicker they drive cooler they are... is there something we can do about this? Or is council waiting for a car accident or child death before they stop this speeding issue?


This is a residential road but also a cut through road and unless this road has numerous speed bums this speeding will NOT STOP. Can we start a petition or get the local council to promote this suggestion to council?


Thanks Lenka

Please turn up to the meeting at Brenchley Gardens Tenants Association Hall for the Safer Neighbourhood Team meeting for Nunhead, and tell the police about your concerns. The meeting is from 6.30pm tomorrow Thursday 28th March 2019. P12 bus.
I suggest you go for road narrowing and not speed bumps unless you want your houses to shake like on every other street round here where speed bumps have gone in. I really hope after spending 10s of thousands putting in and then removing speed bumps all along Ivydale that the council does not waste more taxpayer money. The road narrowing are good.

Thank you for letting me know about this meeting. I was not aware of this meeting and as I work North London I will, sadly, not be able to attend. Does anyone know if there is another meeting scheduled for foreseeable future?


I just find it astonishing that after so many years and complains council has not done anything about it. But I guess we are dealing with Southwark council and as their previous leaseholder I am not surprise they don't care.

Go for a liveable neighbourhood / bus gate / modal filter if you can, to cut out the cut through. Most traffic calming doesn't work because through traffic inherently doesn't want to be calmed. The council put in speed humps, the anti-social brigade buy big Range Rovers that can cruise over the top of them.

the consultation is closed but it's here. https://consultations.southwark.gov.uk/environment-leisure/athenlay-road-traffic-calming/

southwark are usually OK about late comments. Surprising that as a resident you were not notified. Mail your views to your councillor.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
