Hi new on the forum, live near Dulwich library on Lordship Lane. Currently experiencing cracks to my interior walls due to potholes/road damage and heavy traffic, I can literally feel my house shake. Anyone else experiencing these issues? I have reported the potholes to Southwark Council and still awaiting a response.
Yea - house shakes are real. It could be heavy vehicles or just the volume of traffic. I’ve an email history of my complaints to Southwark Council, including the head of highways, stating that should I need to repair anything I shall hold it at least partly responsible as no action was taken to reduce the throughput of large, heavy vehicles (by means of width restriction or camera, etc.) Unrepaired speed bumps are also to blame.
Yep, I live on lordship lane and my bedroom is at the front of the house. Falling asleep to simulated earthquakes is a nightly occurrence. Lots of cracks in ceilings/walls which are def caused by the volume of heavy vehicles shooting past at night
Southwark will not do anything about it - have had the same issue with a speed bump - all three properties that complained that 7 years of the 'new' speed-bump have caused damage to 130-year-old previously sound properties - and have all had to make repairs to walls and windows - Southwark refuse to admit it is due to the speed-bump and vibrations from buses, HGVs and skip-carriers.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
