I would like to thank everybody from the bottom of my heart, who helped me when I was run over on Ulverscroft Road on the way to work on the morning of 5th November. Thank you for the reassuring words, for arguing my case for an ambulance, the blankets, pillows, gloves, hat, water (with a straw!)and for the hot water bottle! You were all amazing. I am now out of hospital with a cage on my leg and a fractured eye socket, but it could have been so much worse, not least if you hadn?t looked after me so well. The police are looking for witnesses, so please do call them if you saw the accident Mon-Fri on 020 7230 7997. THANK YOU .

Sympathies. And good on the people who helped. Don't think about the people who did it and ran (or drove) way, they'll meet their end.


And if you can, get back on your bike as soon as you can if you can. I was lucky enough to be able after a hit and run, but it took three months to get there! Chill out for a week if you can (no work) at least and don't worry.

If its a proven case the driver was at fault try and get your self a decent lawyer .. I did after I was hit by a van not giving way at a junction on the south circular, two years ago (he was charged by police)

I hired a lawyer .. through the law society so I didn't get an ambulance chaser firm. and I was able to access private medical care, including a physiotherapist and physiological help for PTSD and a live changing injury which has left me walking with a stick, also helped me to get cover for time off work due to initial injury and time off for two operations (have another one in a weeks done privately)

Case still ongoing, took me a year to finally get back on my bike, still apprehensive though, but I was very physical active before and needed to get my exercise routine back to some extent to help with my injury.

Hope you recover quickly and there are no long term effects.

Hi everyone. Thanks again all. There is a dispute over liability for the incident and I would be incredibly grateful if anyone out there who saw the accident itself or the aftermath might get in touch with the police please on 020 7230 7650 or if anyone took any photographs.... I saw some people taking photos.... My recovery is proving to be slow but steady....still not back to work at school.... All the best...Kate
Wow very sorry. I wasn't there but as a fellow cyclist wanted to pass on my regards. I was in a hit and run a few years ago and it took me a while to get my confidence back but hopefully this doesn't keep you off the bike forever. Best wishes

    • @first mate  just Google the Green's policies and AI should summarise.  For sustainable transport this includes more initiatives to get people out of their cars as you would expect.  I've always been broadly in favour of their environmental policies, although feel they should go further on culture change. Some of their national policies are bonkers and/or unrealistic - as are most of Reform's.  Historically fringe parties could come up with nonsense, as they will never govern.  Of course whilst I don't expect that Polanski will ever be PM that other bloke could be.  Worrying times, particularly if the Greens split the centre/left vote.  It would be better if One Nation Tories could split the centre vote (and drag some of those on the right), but they don;t have a lot of influence in the current party. One particularly bonkers policy was one element of the Greens who wanted us out of Europe, not because of Europe being pro market/capitalism but because we needed a recession, deindustrialise, so we would all go back to the middle ages.  Or something along those lines.  I lost some friends because of this. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03y5trr#:~:text="Protectionism against developing countries%2C savage austerity in,the case for either remain or leave. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/08/eu-reform-green-brexit
    • I've planted a meadow out front, it needs a lot of work.  It's lovely until August and then grotty until the next spring as once the flowers have died back it doesn't have a lot going for it.  Clover is the last one to flower.  It will get admiring looks when in bloom. I laugh quite loud when I pass one neighbour with plastic grass, not only is it dead to nature it is not even laid well,   I should be crying.  
    • Andy did a number of jobs for me and was very reasonably priced. He's very helpful, arrives on time, pays attention to detail and a nice man. I'll be using him again and recommending him to my friends.
    • A Y13 student of Art at The Charter School North Dulwich left their A3 art portfolio on the 37 bus after school on Friday 13 February - travelling from North Dulwich to East Dulwich.  TFL and the bus garage have been contacted but do not have it.  It is a large A3 transparent bag with a black art folder inside.  The student's name is inside the portfolio and the bag is stamped with the school name.  If anyone happens to have picked up the portfolio or has any leads please do contact [email protected]  We are really keen to get our student's work back safely!
