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.

      Oh Rachel....

      Hardly a non-story @malumbu still one of the lead stories on the BBC.....you clearly don't understand when to serve humble pie! 😉  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgk40l8jm7o   Absolutely. It's a disaster. And for this government, who were happy to tell us they had 14 years to prepare to lead, it has been one self-inflicted disaster after another since they took over. To be honest the signs were there when they were in opposition but I think we all gave them the benefit of the doubt as they weren't the Tories and now they have the reigns the additional scrutiny that brings is tripping them up.

      Phone box in front of Oru...

      I don't think I've ever seen it used other than for gluing advertising on it. It's definitely not a priority but these things typically get ignored and become part of the furniture (so to speak).  There is a beautiful old red box near Upland Rd. I miss old red boxes... 😞 Anyway I'll have a dig around and see if anything can be done.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By Sue · Posted

      £30-40 for M&S Christmas food for two seems very low! And only £60 for food and drink for 8-10 people?  We have had M&S food at Christmas in the past, and it came to a lot more than that. I suppose it depends exactly what you are buying. We left it late to book a Christmas Day meal out last year, so there weren't many options left.  The Cherry Tree menu looked very nice. That was our first mistake. We also overlooked the fact that it was a Young's pub, with all that implies about the food. That was our second mistake. We don't have shedloads of money. We  took the view that we deserved a nice meal  out after working bloody hard all year. So it was doubly disappointing to basically waste a lot of money which could have been very much better  spent elsewhere.

      The Dean's Sermon, Southwark Cathedral - "God, I thank you that I am not like other people"

      No sweetheart. It is a fantastic sermon which should be shared. It is a rights-based sermon which received a standing ovation - if you can be bothered to get to the end.
