I was walking in Peckham Rye Park yesterday morning, and a man coming towards me fell off his bike. He appeared to have had a heart attack. I was the only initial witness apart from another mother with a baby and a toddler (I had a baby with me), and I had no phone, so I borrowed hers to phone 999. The emergencies talked me through various procedures, and others arrived and helped. A woman came past who knew him, and said his name was David. I left after the paradmedics arrived, as my baby had woken up and was crying, so I have no idea whether he pulled through. I have thought of little else since yesterday morning, and have been hoping and praying that he did. I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about this.
NewNun that is so sad and of course now you have heard he died you will be incredibly sad and upset as you would have been one of the last people to see him and you would have done everything you could. Maybe you should talk to someone who knew him as you could be a comfort to one another. Maybe PM bonniebird or someone who knew him. It is indeed very sad. PS for anyone that knows me and mine, it wasn't 'my' David.
david was thoroughly nice man. he loved dogs although did not have one of his own. he was in his seventies, cycled everywhere and always appeared to be very fit. we chatted to him every day and I was very sad to hear of his death. In fact, I may have been the last person he ever spoke to as he rode past me on his way round the pond. rip david. you were a great bloke
David is my downstairs neighbor. The police came looking for keys to his flat and were there for quite a while. Very sad. I was wondering what had happened and now I know. He was a very good neighbor-always taking in my post when I was on holiday etc., and generally keeping an eye on the place.

Very sad indeed. Rip David. It seems he died doing what he loved doing, though. You may well have been one of the last people to see him. He came off his bike just ahead of my by the adventure playground near Harris girls school.

Thanks for your reply.

Really sad to hear that he did not make it. We arrived shortly after it happened and assisted NewNun with helping, my brother-in-law did CPR until the paramedics took over. We had also been wondering if he pulled through, the hospital were not able to advise when we called them (privacy laws etc.) Our condolences to his family.

    • The sites in question though are not comparable to the builders yard by the station and less likely to be granted planning permission for 9 storey buildings. The builders yard fronts on to the railway line on one side and virtually no residential property surrounding on the other sides. The Gibbs & Dandy /Kwikfit and ED trading trading estate are surrounded at close proximity by residential, and in the case of the latter a Grade II building, so there would more stringent height restrictions. Both these sites are tired and in need of development to provide much needed housing.
    • Not sure if this is any help but was initally told to use google chrome as the browser and the code was the reference. However the person at Southwark parking took pity on me and did it for me 
    • I can see how it could've worked 20 or 30 years ago, when you couldn't swing a pool cue in the Foresters without hitting a sparks, a plumber or a chippy, but the area has changed somewhat. I'm not sure people around here have such trade-able skills these days. Have a word with someone in your local and you'll see. People are always going to need their boiler fixed, a damp patch sorted or their dimmer switch dimmed, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm never going need my corporate policy complied with, my social media planned, my data mined, my green transport tsared, my information architected or my analytics analysed. It reminds me of the great DIY con of the mid to late seventies. My Mum bought into it, my Dad didn't. Anyway, my Mum won out and we let the gardener go (he went on to be TV's Timmy Mallett, so that's a warning from history), but my Dad shorted the house out and singed his head when he cut through the flex on his new Black & Decker hedge trimmer. We all laughed, of course, but he got his own back when, because we didn't use a qualified electrician to do things properly, she electrocuted herself when she pulled the back of the plug off her Carmen heated rollers while it was still in the socket. Keep things professional, say 'No!' to this sort of nonsense. We pay people a decent rate of pay because they're specialists at these things. I did once barter my sister's space hopper and roller skates for twenty-odd square foot of crazy paving, though. That was a birthday present my Mum never forgot, and not in a good way.  
    • Thanks both of you. I have also been having the same problem. I emailed the named person on the letter, with no response. I also tried phoning and was transferred to another number which cut me off. I hope they extend the deadline for applying as there are likely to be many people without a permit by the deadline for applying.
