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.

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
