Locked because there are a few threads already about this - Admin


Hi everyone

I I think a lot of people will think the same about what I?m going to say.

The traffic in and around Dulwich at times it?s gridlock and schools aren?t even back yet.I?m all for traffic calming cutting down on pollution etc, i really don?t think that some of the road closures are really helping, in fact I?d say the opposite it only pushes extra traffic onto neighbouring roads and consequently pushes the problem somewhere else just the other day the traffic was queueing from the picture gallery right up to East Dulwich Road and down to lordship Lane and beyond.We are only talking early afternoon-it?s crazy!

While I was in the traffic jam two ambulances on emergency calls were completely stuck and seriously delayed!

I hope the council really does look at this problem seriously and intelligently!

Yes you are right. But the anti-car brigade take the simplistic view that if nobody drove then this wouldn?t be a problem. Just don?t drive at all under any circumstance and problem solved. Simple. (Or not, but there is no point pointing out why their view is oversimplified, they will just repeat themselves ad nauseum).

I agree of course - it's been much worst since the road closures were introduced, with a short calmer period around Christmas. Last weekend was a complete nightmare with stationary traffic most of the day on LL.


Dulwich labour councillors seem to be living in some sort of parallel universe - they don't listen to the residents' concerns and they simply don't care.


PS. Did you actually mean to title this thread 'Traffic NOT calming in and around Dulwich'?

      That's great you have the cat! Sorry to interfere, and feel free to ignore this, but it might not be a great idea to post your mobile number on a public forum? You can message the owner on the forum via a private message.

      Venue hire suggestions

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.

      Thank you to who ever keeps the forum going

      Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
