Nigello Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 There?s to be a week day daily closure on Dunstan?s from the junction with Mt Adon Park. The flyer on the post described it in a very council-type way so I can?t work out which way and for how long down the road it will extend.

legalalien Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Interesting. Still can't see anything on the Southwark site other than the point closure promulgated back in August - but as we know it's not the easiest to navigate. Maybe take a pic of the notice,and we can try and find the underlying order?

Nigello Posted November 12, 2020 Author Share Posted November 12, 2020 Maybe because the school hasn?t got the staff or has but doesn?t see why it ought to help. Remember that the school objected to the shutting off of Dunstan?s and Goodrich, even though it?s only in use for a portion of the hours in a year.

Rockets Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Good point - yes I remember that the school objected. I am sure this is the only school street to only operate for one part of the day so it will be interesting to see if the background to that comes out.

nixlo Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 The morning drop off has been staggered and the kids are allowed to head straight to their class rooms so the mornings are much less busy which may be why they've gone for afternoon only. In the afternoon despite a staggered pick up it really is very busy and with people trying to socially distance it was becoming dangerous as cars/vans sped down that bit of the road.

Nigello Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 Still coukd do with fewer parents driving their kids to school, full stop. Pretend it?s the seventies or eighties before people got so ?busy?.

ED - NAGAIUTB Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 So, that's just more traffic pushed onto Upland Road? How very Southwark. I walk my kids to and from school and they go through the gates on Upland Road. Genius.I'm not defending parents who need or choose to drive their kids to school (one classmate is driven from Dawsons Heights every morning and afternoon!) but this is just nonsense and will directly affect the children using Upland Road.Is there no one in Southwark's traffic planning division that knows what the f**k they're doing??
