There is so much traffic gridlocked  on Lordship Lane, East Dulwich Grove, East Dulwich Road, Grove Vale due to a temporary traffic light on East Dulwich Grove.  Those road bollards closing roads are just not working.

I feel sorry for all trying to get tobtheir destination this morning for whatever reason.

Completely annoyed.

Is it as bad as being a bus passenger on a Saturday when it takes 10 minutes to get through the business end of Lordship Lane? Its high time they scrapped the ridiculous Zebra crossings by Goose Green, on the weekend its a continual procession of people with their kids + dogs crossing, consequently holding up the traffic and turning the area in gridlock.

Yes God forbid people should be able to cross the road safely.

They can- ever heard of these things called 'traffic lights'? You know, red man, green man etc. Everyone patiently waits until the lights stop the traffic so everyone can cross the road in one go, then the traffic can freely move again. Rather than a continual stream of buggies and dogs being led across the road blocking it for an entire day.

Yeah they should ban all the people and kids and all their dogs too, as well as cars from the area. We don't want that here.

Buses and bus-passers-through only from now on. 

Ohhh can we really ban all kids ? 

How exciting will make cafes much nicer places 😀

The zebra crossing make very little impact as cars have to stop or slow approaching the round about, but yes the temporary light have caused lots of issues as it was set up as a four way stop and originally drivers didn’t realise so thought lights were not working, so we’re going through red lights. The timing was also not quite right. I spoke to one of them walking up to LL when they were day 1 of digging another whole. There is very little flexibility in the system now, so the ambulance coming down that day had a big delay as couldn’t use Melbourne. I do wonder if an open end with cameras would be helpful for emergency access, but that’s for the forum tread really.

There were proposals a few years back to replace the Goose Green Roundabout with a traffic light junction but locals were against it.

Why was that? That end of Lordship Lane is terrible on the weekends for traffic. It cant be doing all their little dahlings much good with all the stationary traffic fumes. Perhaps there should be part time traffic lights, but then i suppose people would be awfully put out if they couldn't cross the road whenever they wanted to with their family dog.

Sometimes I like to go out and spend an hour or two walking in circles around the Goose Green roundabout zebra crossings with my Irish setter, Barthomley. It's great exercise and the kids like to count how many circuits we do!

Nice one! Maybe you and the kids can play a new game, counting how many ambulances the traffic blocks, or how many underpaid nurses on the way to a shift at Kings you make late for work. Wouldn't that be funny?

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
