Is this not the works to remove the pedestrian refuge to accommodate new cycle lanes?

Does seem ridiculous that these works are happening at the same time as the A205/Lordship Lane works - Dulwich is becoming encircled, entrapped and gridlocked by works involving weeks of disruption all at the same time.

March46 - did they remove the plan for the cycle lanes at the revised junction then because that was the catalyst for the original works proposals was it not? 

Can you post the link to the latest plans, do you know why the council changed the plans because the original said the refuge was being removed to accommodate a cycle lane - it was discussed at length on the forum?

 

 

@Earl Aelfheah be nice - you have to per the forum rules. I think you owe me an apology because I very much did do my research - back in January 24 and I remember reading the council's document and it did say that the refuge was being removed to facilitate the advance cycle box/lane.

The consultation pdf has been moved - has anyone got it? https://consultations.southwark.gov.uk/environment-leisure/dulwich-village-phase-3-design/supporting_documents/Red Post Hill Junction Consultation Plan.pdf

 

@march46 you seem to have a hotline to the council - do you have it?

 

 

March, you always seem to be across the detail of council plans and immediately stated there were no plans for a cycle lane, so presumably you have access to that detail you can share? This may be down to your superior internet research skills but please share with us? 

So @march46 do you have the consultation docs - if so please do share them as they have moved and are no longer where I orginally read them and I did not download them?

 

@Earl Aelfheah you accused me of not doing any research when clearly I had - not at all sure how that is not a good faith debate.

I was not involved in this from the outset, so had not researched and I certainly made no "judgement". I just expressed an interest in knowing whether a bike lane had been mooted or not, and given March seems to have that evidence I thought they would share it. Why would you not?

Because the original consultation document did call out needing to remove the central pedestrian refuges to facilitate the cycle infrastructure. It's why I started the thread in January 24 - yet I am the one accused of spreading misinformation.....amazing.....

Yes the council added the cycle wand lane at the junction heading from Dulwich Village to Red Post Hill and reduced two lanes to one then had to add the right-turn filter to the traffic lights due to the congestion the reduction to one lane was causing in Dulwich Village as cars could no longer pass to the left of traffic turning right onto EDG.

 

The cycle lane was already there, but most drivers ignored the painted lines. It wasn’t two lanes of traffic reduced to one. It became much safer and more accessible with wands. 

The wands were added quite a few years ago. To confirm, there is no new cycle lane as part of the current junction improvements works as Rockets claimed above.

@march46 but the initial consultation document did say that the removal of the pedestrian refuge was necessary to accommodate the advanced cycle box didn't it?

You seem to have a Iot of knowledge on all the council's plans around cycle infrastructure so can you tell us if the advanced cycle box still part of the works being carried out at the moment?

Might this have been because there were never any cyclists using it? The addition of the wands did cause significant congestion in Dulwich Village and they had to add the right filter to relieve it didn't they?

What about the advanced cycle box?

Would you mind posting the links to the information you have found as all I can find on the Southwark website is the following:

The Red Post Hill/Dulwich Village junction, which was part of the Phase 3 consultation, is still being developed and we hope to implement this in early 2025.

You initially claimed a new cycle lane was the reason why pedestrian islands are being removed - not true, there are no new cycle lanes.

Now you’re pivoting to advanced cycle boxes being the reason. Again, not true.

Suggest you do your own research before making any further claims.

@march46 why is it so difficult for you to share the link to the public information you claim you have? I cannot find details of the works on the Southwark website, since the redesign of the website it’s impossible to find things now. Surely if the info you have is public and confirms what you are saying then sharing it resolves this, I am struggling to understand why you don’t share the link.

So are you confirming that there are no longer plans for an advance cycle box - that’s what I meant when I referred to a cycle lane - it was clumsy language use by me - but that what was cited in the original consultation document as the reason for the need to remove the pedestrian refuges.

I found this on the Dulwich Residents Association website that clearly shows the plans for the advanced cycle boxes, so are you confirming these are no longer in the plans?IMG_0445.thumb.png.e5335a8ff40e5dccd1f2e54c7ce95250.png

    • 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.

    • 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.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
