Hi,


I travel through Rye Lane almost everyday and find that it appears to be law unto itself. That is the rules of the road that he rest of our beloved nation adheres too (well trys to) seem not to apply here. Cars/Vans merryilly park in the bus stop, perhaps they have identity issues and beleive themselves to be a bus! Let us not even begin the subject of the permanant road works.


My concern is mostly as it delays the bus taking me to delightful law abiding Dulwich.


Any thoughts as to who I can whinge to?

You and me both. I've complained to the shops themselves, to the councillors and to the police on the streets but it never changes. Perhaps deliveries are allowed on alternate sides of the streets depending on the time of day, despite the yellow lines, but who knows? Try talking to James the councillor who will put you in contact with the right person. If not, try asking the drivers of the merrily parked vehciles. Good luck with that!

Rye Lane is a very busy thoroughfare and I admire how the bus drivers cope with the narrow road and deliveries .


But they do cope , I use this road every day ,and while the traffic can be slow it is moving .


The shops do have to have deliveries . It's busy but it all seems to function .

    • There are two causes for this problem Β  The first is that modern safety requirements for cars (to protect pedestrians and cyclists in collisions) mean huge amounts of excess spacing in crumple zones to provide a cushion on impact. For example, in the past a lot of pedestrians suffered catastrophic head injuries when they ran in front of a car, because the bonnet was close to the engine block, so their heads bent the bonnet into the solid immovable engine and their heads cam off worse. To mitigate that there is now a huge amount of flex and space so that the head is cushioned from the engine. Naturally, the rest of the body work and car frame has had to increase to accommodate this safety measure. Β  The second issue is electrification. Β  Electric cars are massive because they have to carry huge batteries around to make them work. Massive amounts of space and height is given over to batteries in electric cars. The new electric Renault 5 (described as a "compact" hatch back) is nearly 4 metres long 2 metres wide.Β  Β  That makes it longer and wider than the original Range Rover.Β 
    • Pretentious status vehicles.Β  Last year I was trying to drive down my own street but, being in a little, inferior car, was expected to make way for a stream of SUVs / Chelsea tractors as they barged along beside me. After what felt like an age, I saw a window of opportunity, but was beaten to it by yet another tank. By this stage I was irate (I hate the things) and having a full on shouting match with myself behind the wheel.Β  A Tesla in the oncoming queue pulled in, flashed and courteously allowed me to take my moment. The Tesla's windows were tinted, but not so much that I wasn't able to make out the driver, as I passed him. I'd recognise that mega-watt smile anywhere. It was Peter Crouch, laughing and giving me the thumbs up, clearly entertained by my tantrum.Β 
    • I recently had a utility room built, next to the kitchen. Dean Richards and his team carried out the works, they did a fantastic job. Thorough, with attention to every detail.Β  If you are considering an extension, refurbishment or renovation, Dean comes highly recommended.Β  Dean RichardsΒ  07888 651798 Β
