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!

      Are we now under a flight path?

      Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.

      Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost.

      By Sue Klein · Posted

      I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
