Hi, if you mean onto Ivanhoe - it is closed due to a burst waterpipe. It has been closed since Yesterday (Monday), hopefully not very long.

If it is possible to move a few cones and the traffic flows without problems why is it necessary to stop the only community bus from using the same route.


It is always the P13 that seems to be diverted and Southwark Council wonder why people use their cars as there is no other way to move around.


Do they want more cars on the road to try and confirm what they want people to believe although it is not true..


Many of the older generation are now stuck in the local area due to no P13 together with no buses that operate from Rye Lane due to the closure of that road without a long walk to find a bus.

    • Because the council responsible for it is far-left....   And you haven't answered whether it is worth diverting emergency vehicles because a few cars drive through the LTN and why some lobby groups have been so desperate to close it to emergency vehicles.    Emergency services hate non-permeable junctions as they lengthen response times....f you remember it's why the council had to redesign the DV junction because emergency services kept telling them they needed to be able to drive through it...but the council resisted and resisted until they finally relented because the emergency services said their LTN had increased response times....sorry if the truth gets in the way of a good story but those are facts. The council was putting lives at risk because they refused to open the junction to emergency services. Why? What could have been the motivation for that? So, in fact, it was the emergency services who forced the council (kicking and screaming) to remove the permanent barriers and allow emergency services access. So the council finally opened the junction to emergency services and is now coming back to re-close part of the junction.  Why?  Perhaps you should be asking who is lobbying the council to close the junction or parts of it or why the council is happy to waste so much of our money on it - who are they representing as even their own consultation demonstrated they did not have support from the local community for the measures? The results showed the majority of local residents were against the measure...but they are going ahead with them anyway.   In time, I am sure the truth will come to light and those rewponsbile will be held accountable but you have to admit there is something very unusual going on with that junction - its the very definition of a (very expensive) white elephant.
