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.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
