DJKillaQueen, couldn't sgree more with your post. It's simply unnaceptable that such a dangerous junction can be left in it's disfunctional state for so long without positive action. Especially considering the amount of near misses and the recent death.

So tired of hearing excuses from the council in the form of 'consultancy', 'pending approval', 'olympics' etc...

Maybe after the next inevitible accident the person or people responsible can be tried for corporate manslaughter for their lack of action?

May make them take their responsibilities little more seriously.

The people who could & maybe should care about this, the safety of the community & road users in general .... just don't.

They are not accountable, have nothing to fear if somebody else is hurt .... so it actually matters not to them that the situation is dangerous. There will be weasel words of sympathy, excellent explanations & hand wringing ..... all to no avail. As nothing is being done.

But what actually we have is power without accountability.

A very dangerous combination & one that often leads, as in this case, to inactivity, lethargy & inertia.


In a normal business, somebody who dilly'd & dallied & procrastinated like this would be sacked, in short order &

somebody with skill, ability & who had a sense of duty would be appointed.

Evening all,


I've followed this thread with interest and I'm now appealing for witnesses. At 9.05pm this evening I was hit from behind and the vehicle drove straight off. It's possible that the poor phasing of the lights was to blame as our lights had turned green but there were numerous vehicles still turning from the other direction. No major damage, though my passenger and I were a little shaken, but that's not the point. I can't believe someone can slam into the back of a car and not stop to check if the passengers are OK. Did anyone see anything?

I've had a response, Southwark are still waiting for the OK from TFL. The consultation has been done, so once this is received works can commence. The delay has been due to a backlog of items for TFL to deal with due to the Olympics.

I was told the works on this junction would be done within the next six months (ie within this financial year).

Once I have more specific information, I'll post again.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
