We just received one for St John?s and St Clement?s which would close parts of Adys, Ondine and Amott. Given how terrible traffic is in the morning with aggressive drivers smacking their horns I?m in favour. Having a camera filter is better than a hard barrier like they have for Bellenden Primary.

School streets are not new. Southwark has been doing them since 2018 and the proposal includes exemptions for residents and emergency vehicles.

It?s only for a short period and how many children are driven to school when they don?t need to be?

One consideration for some when choosing a house is local schools, for me it?s not on a street with a school and I don?t drive at school drop off time if I can avoid it.

A walk before school is not going to harm most children and planning to allow time to walk to school is good for them to understand you can?t get up late and get in the car and make it on time. Though from what I see walking might be quicker than driving. If children walk to school then walking to East Dulwich or Denmark Hill station to catch the train to work rather than jumping on the bus might be their choice in later life. Families might need to adapt their routine but it won?t be the only change made for having a child in your life. It might even be good - less time sat in traffic, time to talk, watch the seasons - trees, birds.

I'm affected by the Adys Road proposal.


I'm broadly for it, but wonder how much the permit will cost - if at all -the parking costs are already so expensive. I'm also wondering how will it affect visitors and workmen to my house; will they be allowed temporary permits? This info is not given in the letter.

I?ve completed the consultation asking a similar question about permits. I?m particularly concerned about who is eligible for permits as I live a few houses up from the start of the restriction but regularly have to park in the restricted area due to a lack of spaces outside my house. The wording isn?t clear about if I?d be eligible or not. Also the only electric car charger in the surrounding streets is in the restriction.

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.     
    • Some of us oldies would associate Grove with the old Grove Vale School (which I went to in the 1950s)
