Just a heads up that Lordship Lane is closed between the Court Lane and the Grove Tavern, I think due to a traffic accident (judging by number of ambulances early this am). As a consequence, all buses and traffic are being diverted around Melford and Underhill (where there are traffic works) and as a result it is carnage. Two double decker buses coming opposite ways have been stuck opposite each other on Melford for about 15 mins as they can't get past the parked cars and can't reverse. Avoid if possible.

Updated to say that a neighbour has moved their car and traffic is now flowing again, but it's still pretty busy.


To be fair, I'm not sure that opening up Court Lane and the Village Junction would help the 197, 185 and 176 get through to Forest Hill from LL, but it definitely means that the only available route for all traffic right now is around these streets. I didn't enjoy leaving the house on my bike today.

Some kind of permeable barrier, that emergency vehicles and traffic could cross when directed by a police officer, you mean?

Thank you - on bus !

Well there was when I went through about 9am. Pedestrians and cyclists were allowed through on the pavement. Sympathies to those who really needed to drive round.

    • I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa. 
    • How long is a piece of string? AI was a bit rubbish on this one, but Checatrade : average cost to paint a house exterior is around £30 per square metre So depends on the size, access, time to put up scaffolding and cost of hiring and building that, surface preparation, and quality of materials.   Checkatrade put it at £2.5 k for average semi, that sounds a little cheap.
    • Wow what a lot of reactionary stuff going on here.  Even by the high bar set by others on the EDF. So let's start with the title.  I thought wrong season for leaves on the pavement.  A bit late for ice, but it can still happen.  We all know about uneven pavements and tree roots.  Oh my word, perhaps Zombie apocalypse or sink holes.  Those damned Lime bikes?  But no, a four year old. The streets are rightly or wrongly full of kids scooting and cycling to schools in the morning.  Would or could a four year old cause a serious injury hitting an adult, perhaps but unlikely.  I'd rather a child on two wheels on the pavement than a car driving them to school. As said we are judging this on the original post.  We were not there.  We can not speculate. How this is victim (were you really a victim?) blaming, I don't know. How my response, similar to the previous two, is revolting, heavens knows. There is a serious conversation to be had about middle class parents.  My they can be annoying. And similarly for teenagers, adults, in particularly illegal ebikes including delivery riders, on the pavements, There are threads on the latter on here already.   But a four year old?  Really?? PS off to watch Newsnight and some more serious matters.
