A few years back some lovely work was done at the East Dulwich station forecourt, with new paving and lights set into an arc along the walkway. Yesterday evening, returning home after a late dinner, I noted -- the lights are not on!


Is this very attractive feature no longer being maintained? Is it the stationmaster's remit, or the council's? Can it be restored or repaired?


Hoping, frankly, that it was a one-off, with someone forgetting to flick the appropriate switch on leaving for the day...

Hi Alex K,

East dulwich councillors have allocated ?10,000 from our Cleaner, Green, Safer capital pot to provide great lighting there. Its due to complete during October.


The floor lighting you're talknig about was isntalled about 8-10 years ago. It was never handed over to the council lighting people and didnt have a seperate maintenance plan. Floor lights are especially prone to problems having to take weight and harder ot keep dry.

Without trying to sound overly critical but what an epic waste of money that was then - knowing how things work, there was months if not years of planning, it was designed and fitted and then no one bothers to maintain it because it "wasn't handed over" Surely you can get it handed over and maintained instead of just having them lie dormant and useless?

    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
    • No, no need to shut down tfl, just cut out the unnecessary and expensive beauracracy, simples.  Sep, you don't even live here.
