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!

      Any updates? - Sidings East Dulwich on the top of Railway rise

      The lack of affordable housing is down to Thatcher's promoting sale of council properties. When I was working, I had to deal with many families/older folk/ disabled folk in inferior housing. The worst ones were ex council properties purchased by their tenants  with a very high discount who then sold on for a profit. The new owners frequently rented out at exorbitant prices and failed to maintain the properties. I remember a gentleman who needed to be visited by a district nurse daily becoming very upset as he rented a room in an ex council flat and shared kitchen and bathroom with 6 other people  (it was a 3 bed flat) the landlord did not allow visitors to the flat and this gut was frightened he would be evicted if the nurse visited daily. Unfortunately, the guy was re admitted to hospital and ended up in a care home as he could not receive medical help at home.   Private developers  are not keen on providing a larger percentage of 'social housing' as it dents their profits. Also a social rent is still around £200 plus a week

      roof repairs and guarantees

      By Katherty · Posted

      Hello, I was wondering if others have had experience of roof repairs and guarantees. A while back, we had a water leak come through in our top floor room.  A roofer came and went out on the roof to take a look - they said it was to do with a leak near the chimney.   They did some rendering around the chimney and this cost £1800 plus £750 for scaffolding (so £2,550 total).  They said the work came with a 10 year guarantee. About a year later, there was another leak on the same wall, which looked exactly the same size and colour as the previous leak. But it was about 2 metres away from it, on the other side of a window.  I contacted the roofer about this new leak, thinking it would be covered by the guarantee. However, he said the new leak was due to a different and unrelated problem, and so was not covered by the guarantee. This new leak, he said, was due to holes in the felt underneath the tiles. He said there are holes in the felt all over the roof (so if this was the cause, I expect the first leak may have been caused by that too - but he didn't mention the holes in the felt for the first repair). It feels like the 10-year guarantee doesn't mean much at all.  I realise that the guarantee couldn't cover all future problems with the roof, but where do you draw the line with what's reasonable?  Is it that a leak is only covered if an identical leak happens in exactly the same place?  There were no terms and conditions with the guarantee, which I didn't question at the time.
