Saw the boards going up a few weeks ago. Is it me, or has this made the space on the pavement more constrained for people to walk through? The phone boxes and cycle rings don?t leave much space for people to get by on the pavement. The surface is very uneven and between the amount of pedestrians, buggies, dogs, scooters, and disabled folk trying to get through at busy times it is quite scary, especially for little ones. Perhaps take out the phone boxes or cycle rings till work on facade is complete temporarily?

Sincerest apologies for the inconvenience, we were careful to measure the space remaining once the hoarding went up but it is slightly dependant on how cycles are parked too. We're going try and complete the front facade works by Jan and will no longer be in people's way. Once again sorry for inconvenience.

Thank you for the update and wish you luck with the new space. Unfortunately, this is an issue that the local councillors should address regarding the quality of pedestrian space on Lordship Lane. I know this has been brought up before on other threads as well, but it doesn?t seem to be getting much attention. The space left for people to walk comfortably and safely in getting more constrained. The whole corner or EDG and LL could do with a redo.


I pass through the area several times a week and it is getting worse for navigating safely for a variety of reasons:


1- there is no crossing light to across EDG.

2- the pavement is encumbered by too much street furniture (two phone boxes!!! and cycle rings)

3- the car charging station on the EDG corner makes it very hard for buses to get through when two buses arrive at the corner at the same time.


All of this makes the area very chaotic in the best of times, but at rush hours when many children and parents are trying to navigate the bus stops to change buses quickly it is very dangerous.


I don?t know who or what is responsible for this, but similar to the Dulwich Village crossing planning fiasco, I fear this is a lot of different departments not talking to local residents who have to live and navigate these junctions on a daily basis.

    • 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". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
