I live on forest hill road next to The Herne Tavern and was a little perturbed to see A couple of engineers replete with theodolites marking out that nice bit of green that overlooks the park(dont know what its called). Please dont tell me this nice little patch has been gobbled up by more avaricious developers. Its a regular footie pitch for some of the young lads around here and it would be a shame if it was used to build more cardboard houses.

Why do we so spinelessly accept that there just has to be more and more housing stuffed into London? The last tiny little bit of space on the junction of Ivydale/Inverton Roads, tiny, but very important bit of green breathing space/visual break, been sold off for yet more flats, while the private section of the other recent flats opposite appears to be still largely unoccupied.


There used to be daylight and a general feeling of space here for people going to and fro, waiting for the bus etc, but now the whole area is always in shade, giving it the air of mean streets/bedsit land. The development has been so greedy and aggressive (including that of the church with its ludicrously priapic tower) that it has blocked all the sight lines at a busy cross roads.


The penthouse on the opposite side of Peckham Rye has affected the whole Rye. Part of the Rye experience was its spaciousness and light, now there's a dirty great interrupting blot on the skyline. Why was this visual damage allowed, to benefit one developer and one occupier? Is the intention to raise building levels all round so that the Rye is "blocked in" on all sides? Is the new school going to be - 4, 5, 6, storeys?


Sorry to go onnnnn.

Yet we still hear that more homes need to be built...


I agree that they do, but the key word here is AFFORDABLE, look at all the empty flats in SE22, take the new build half way up Underhill (modern looking thing on a corner). Not sure a single flat has sold, and yet they're still on the market for ?300k... Hope none sell and the developers have to cut their losses!


Having said all that, it's an awful shame if there is a block being built on Piermont Green, it adds character to that little area.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • 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".
