More then 10 minutes this lunch time, was stuck on East Dulwich road for ages right up by the junction with crystal palace road, then more traffic queing right past barry road coming down forest hill road, seems the road going down towards rye lane is closed today. there seemed to be a guy manually operating the lights form a box on a trailer by the time I eventually got to them, at one point he missed letting the traffic I was in going through, most frustrating. Very rammed round that part of the rye so would avoid today.

Hi Unclegren, there appears to be alot of roadworks at the moment due to last summer's Olympics. There were no scheduled roadworks allowed over an extended summer period, also TFL were not signing works off on TFL routes. The recent works around Peckham Rye were scheduled projects, so the money can't get diverted to potholes.

All public sector organisations try to use up their budgets before the end of the financial year!!!!


If they go under, their budgets will be less next year, so why wouldn't they do that?

    • I agree, the people in the park office seem to be invisible. Quite why we need a park office I am not sure. Perhaps it is to do with all the maintenance and upkeep for which there will be organisation and admin. It may be expensive but I do think funding some sort of regular park safety oversight should be a priority. Southwark to want young people to use the park, as do we all, but there probably does need to be some sort of supervision for everyone's sake.  
    • The big difference, other than increasingly flaking paint, seems to be graffiti. The question is, will that/ can it be controlled?
    • I took back my 🤣 because I think the idea is unworkable expensive and would produce little result.  There seems to be people in the office next to the toilet but I don’t think they leave the office. I’m not sure what they do there.  The toilets have been in a disgusting state for months and months with many promises to repair they are not functional and they invite vandalism. I shall  try to add a couple of photos. The council doesn’t care why should we?
    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
