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?

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
