Recommended Posts

NOTE. Please register for rides on Eventbrite so we can limit numbers, links below.
 
On the 22nd June we have two relatively short rides, one from Peckham to the South Bank and the other from Canada Water to the Thames Barrier.  Very much a River Thames theme this week.
 Short (9 mile) flat ride exploring the South Bank from the London Eye to the Globe Theatre. Lots to see en route. Will use lots of cycleway and no tricky uncontrolled crossings. So suitable for anyone who has cycled a bit and great for learning some good routes.
Start finish at Peckham Square (Peckham Library, Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre) at 10am for a 9 mile circuit. Bruce leading and aiming to finish by 12.30.  Canal path to Cycleway 10. Follow this to the Old Vic, then Lower Marsh to the astonishing Graffiti Tunnel and through to the Eye. Take a break somewhere as we work along the river, probably at National Theatre. Return from Globe via back streets to C6 on Blackfriars Rd. Take this to Elephant and Castle then SE bypass route to Elephant Park. Hook up to C17 to Burgess Park then final 2km completely off road across park and up the Canal Path back to the start point in Peckham Square. Forecast is great. Everyone welcome. So come and join us. Route map at https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1rNkCYzSXBd-wgsFZmRVNJieLxsTzDBw&usp=sharing
Very easy flat ride, lots of off road or on segregated cycleway, always plenty to see along the Thames. 10am start from Deal Perter Square. Next to Canada Water Library, opposite Canada Water Station. Eduardo leading on a 12 mile route via Cutty Sark and the O2. Plan to be back around 12.30 and have a short refreshment break at the Barrier.  Note it is also possible to join this ride at Cutty Sark, next to the Foot Tunnel at 10.25. Please indicate on the Registration form if you intend to do this
 
Riders of all ages are welcome on Healthy Rides but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.  Same for “adults at risk”.

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
