The council spends a lot of time looking at traffic measure such as CPZs and healthy streets. However, I think the problem is not just about too many cars, but healthy streets should be safe streets! East Dulwich residents should expect to live without fear of crime. How can we expect children to be safe walking to school, when there is such an epidemic of mugging children on the streets or in the parks. Parents will just end up driving their children to and from school. What is the council doing about that - nothing!

Agreed..... It's a shame really

They'll only do what benefits them financially!


It's down to the small people to pay for their cock ups!


Brexit is a fine example!

Southwark council may or may not be responsible for Brexit but all the cutbacks filter down from the government


Brexit is just one example of where "our" money has been wasted!


Now someone's got to replace the money in those pots!

Why not screw us over for their cock ups!!!

Well technically, in the case of muggings and other violent crime, it's not really the councils remit to do much directly. That's the job of the police and central Government is responsible for the police. That'd be the central Government that have cut policing numbers to the bone...


The council come into it with things like social care, youth centres, support for deprived families and so on. But they get most of the money for that from central Government. That'd be the central Government that have cut the welfare budget to the bone...

Wait, what? Wasted? Surely not... I was definitely promised a Unicorn from the Sunlit Uplands, bearing a blue passport on it's golden horn. ;-)

My street is unhealthy.


It's filled with idiot parents looking at their iphones and not looking out for their kids.

They live in a world of social media induced paranoia and have no sense of actual risk.

They only feel safe bolted into a 4x4 armoured car guzzling fuel and destoying the health of the wheezing red-eyed street urchins that clutter their roads.


No doubt thier children will need gated communities and epipens in case they become "offended".


Southwark is responsible for brexit -the whole country knows it, everyone in the EU knows it. Stop lying.

      Post Office Lordship Lane is Broken

      I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience

      Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
