There was a consultation last year: http://www.southwark.gov.uk/Uploads/FILE_26962.pdf


Apparently a Chilean Wine Palm http://images.google.co.uk/images?um=1&hl=en&rls=GGLJ%2CGGLJ%3A2006-41%2CGGLJ%3Aen-GB&q=chilean+wine+palm is due to be planted by the end of May that has to be imported from... Chile. Its installation will require a road closure apparently due to its size.


According to Southwark there are no current plans to look at the size of the roundabout although this was consulted on several years ago when the bus priority network was being introduced and the idea was rejected.

Only last week I saw a car getting pranged by a bus navigating the roundabout. Although in fairness, trying to get from Grove Vale onto Lordship Lane on the inside of a bus going the same direction is not the smartest move.


A huge, mesmerising palm tree should help drivers focus on the task in hand. I do like the look of the tree, though.

We got a copy of and responded to the consultation. We didn't vote for a "feature tree".


That said, I actually think the size of the roundabout is about right considering the pedestrian crossings at the start of Lordship Lane (which I would personally like to see moved a few feet back onto the Lane, but that's another story). It forces traffic (including buses) to slow down, even when the entrance onto the roundabout from the right is clear. I've seen a couple of drivers have very near misses with pedestrians on the crossings coming off the roundabout, which might have been considerably worse if the cars had been going faster.

the bigger the roundabout, tbe better - does it realkly matter is getting through the GG RB takes an exctra 30 seconds ?


no


if people drive their fetid little tinny euroboxes as if they were F1 cars, then there will always be accidents- easing the traffic flow will just make things worse.


make LL a bus only zone between 8Am-6PM

Tree smee - who cares about a tree in a roundabout - ridiculous waste of money bringing it over from Chile - could they not just use a British one if one at all.


I vote the Black Cherry idea - perfect solution! Fag to your hearts content in and amongst the road rage of SE22 - would be enough to make you want to give up.


How dodgy are the pedestrian crossings there though! Always feel sorry for people when cars zoon by pretending not to see..

      ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...

      How did he "put down everything British"? Please give examples! And as for "the effects of Brexit on this country", do you think he was wrong? What exactly do you think are the positive effects of Brexit on this country?
