Yesterday the council published a bunch of TMOs which give effect to road closures including the closure of Peckham rye eastside (and the associated right turn onto East Dulwich Road), as well as those in Townley / Burbage road etc.


Details here: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/transport-and-roads/traffic-orders-licensing-strategies-and-regulation/traffic-management-orders?chapter=5


No doubt this will have an appalling impact on the residents around Barry Road / Forest Hill road on the east of our community.


The Dulwich Village changes may actually improve conditions in East Dulwich Grove, but other people will pay the price for that.

Wow, they come in force next Thursday I wonder if that means all the roads get closed then or whether it permits them to install them anytime between Thursday and when they expire. This will be the death knell for these plans as they will cause such chaos that the council will have no option but to remove them all.


I wonder if Cllr McAsh sent his "we're listening" blog as he knows the closure of DV will improve EDG and move the problem off his ward and onto someone else's.....hmmmmmm....


Rahrahrah - feel free to lobby admin to remove this thread as you do every time you read something you don't like! ;-)

Oh great - more people to be treated like second class residents by the council. If anything good is to come out of it is that the Labour will lose hold over Southwark - or at least will have to share - after the next local election.

You mean local elections I think :)


Edit: and labour have the advantage in the next ones IIRC (due to the weakness of the Liberal Democrats nationally at present) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwark_London_Borough_Council_elections

LOL - I feel the same this week - horrible - just checked the figures and the Liberal Dems need to get a revival nationally to mount a comeback here in 2022 IMHO.


I don't think the Tories have much of a base in Southwark but you never know these days.

Maybe it's another red wall due to fall, but I suspect that the wealthy middle class socialists who live in London will be the last to give up on 'never vote Tory'. On the other hand, I would certainly consider voting for an independent standing on a 'Dulwich for Dulwich people' ticket. Or indeed a Camberwell ticket, since joining the boroughs was in my view a huge mistake. Indeed, any candidate who was prepared to put the wishes of the majority of their potential constituents first, and not a party ticket, might get my vote.


Should we ever be allowed to vote again. Or will our councillors now be councillors for life, as the Mayor appears to be?

Yes it's hilarious- if you walk around Dulwich Village and the roads around it at election time all the houses belonging to doctors etc who send their kids to the private schools all have Labour posters in the windows!

    • 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".
