There was an accident Saturday night (25/1/20), about 1am, with a car speeding down Lordship Lane opposite the church on the corner of Goodrich Road. A Peugeot was shunted about 5 yards. I am aware of at least two other similar accidents between the library and Townley Road in the last year, do any Forum users know of similar incidents? Starting to wonder if we need to actively do something.

The only thing that would work would be to fine speeding cars a LOT of money and slap on the points- the 20mph is another joke...

Yes, I know what you mean about the Goodrich turning. I don?t think there are any camera?s on the stretch from the library to say the school at the bottom of the hill. Lordship and Townley also has its moments and close misses. Anyone know of any accidents with parked cars?

Another one happened outside my house just before Christmas. He hit 2 parked cars (huge damage to at least one of these). The guy was apparently 5 x over the drink drive limit and driving without insurance. It?s the second crash to happen right outside my house in a year - someone flipped their car last year. They can?t put speed bumps as it?s en route to Kings but cameras would be great!

There is I feel a need for a pedestrian crossing on Lordship Lane near Milo Road. Lots of people including school kids and older people cross there. The traffic comes very fast up the hill from the Townley Road Junction towards the library.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River. When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.

      Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost.

      I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
