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.

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
