@Abe_Frorume I am confused why you are concerned by this. Ensuring buses can run better surely a good thing. Would you prefer that public transport be hampered.


Buses in South London are the most important element of the public transport infrastructure. The tube does not slow down because someone decides to block the line.


Additionally buses are using social distancing at the moment so are transporting less passengers.


Well done Southwark council for this change.

Southwark and TFL have to do something as busses are getting caught up in the gridlock caused by the road closures on the roads where there can be no bus lane.


I completely understand this move as if you have to do everything to encourage people out of cars and back onto public transport but I would be concerned if LL loses parking spaces at a time when the CPZ is being implemented too.

Looks to me like this is TfL and doesn?t affect the stretch of Lordship Lane with parking. Maybe why people were having difficulty finding information if they were looking for Southwark.

If it makes a few walk when they would have driven but having thought about it decided they don?t need to drive that?s good for us all. A twenty minute walk back with shopping is doable and families might get exercise and talk rather than jump in the car, kids on their phones the whole time. Some might even prefer it once they try something they?ve not before. We use our cars too much, its too easy. Making it expensive or uncomfortable is sometimes the only way to make people think.

The weekly email from TfL mentioned it so I think this has started. It only applies to the bits of Lordship Lane that are red routes - near the South Circular I think, definitely not from Goose Green to Blackwater Street (Cafe Nero to William Rose) which have yellow lines and aren?t red routes.
The bus lane sign on LL just before Overhill Road has had it changed to "At All Times" for the section of bus lane between Overhill Road and Melford Road, which is Southwark managed. (Melford Road to Wood Vale is TfL).

Are you me in disguise? Or perhaps I am you.


Funny how many posting are probably soft left, but attack their civil liberties about the right to drive when you like, where you like, why you like, and how you like and you turn into the rabid right.


There is just so much wrong with unrestricted driving. How we need a culture change in the same way that we are stunned that people used to smoke in pubs. Did that really happen?


Sadly because we can't change our habits, and government wont do the right thing including compelling authorities to put in average speed limit cameras, we get blunt instruments.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • 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".
