This is for anyone travelling by road down Forest Hill Road today. If you know anyone coming home this way please warn them. Near the French Cafe, a pothole has developed in the middle of the road. It?s rather deep and water is springing out of it and wetting the road all around making it a real hazard. It?s now dark and if you are familiar with the roads you might be surprised and taken unaware by the hole so please be very careful especially if on a 2 wheeled vehicle.


This has been reported by several of the houses along the way so hopefully will be actioned soon. We contacted both Thames Water and Southwark emergency team (at 2pm today).

Thanks, someone reported it on there this morning. Thames Water had a look at it last night but left without taking any action. It?s much bigger today, about 1m x 0.5m and growing pretty quickly. Be super careful if going that way.

Without taking any action = unlikely. They may well have not been able to do anything physical and/or visible ast night but I am sure they will have taken action to solve it but behind the scenes, ie. taking notes, pictures, lining people up to do the work today.

Well yes. I assumed this part was obvious but for the forum I should have been more explicit to avoid being scolded. Needless to say (to some) I didn?t think they were there chewing their fingernails, I simply wanted to caution drivers that the hole is not yet fixed and to be careful.

Even where work couldn't have commenced that night, the hole should have been coned off/ otherwise marked. Not only are such holes likely to damage vehicles, but with two wheelers (bikes or motor bikes) they can cause serious injury.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
