Every single councillor (there are 9) involved with this stretch of road was asked to consult this summer. The results were very interesting indeed. In any event TFL met at this intersection to discuss in August. MONEY as always and how many people had been hurt. I would like to know how statistics are kept. For example the "child knocked over" is not a statistic as the parent didn't report it. I am very concerned that "citizens" have to act when paid professions do nothing have no new ideas and seem not to read the best and the brightest and the most recent studies let alone travel and incorporate ideas that work for less money from elsewhere. I've come back from France where a road much busier than Upland Road is painted with white stripes everywhere a road intersects. And cars STOP when a pedestrian stands at the stripes. It does not seem to be an enormous whoo haaaa . It's a bit of paint and collective behaviour. The idea that rules are cast in granite and they cannot be revisited and revised in the face of shortages. White paint is fast and easy and there is less street clutter. And get a few uniformed people out there to issue warnings for speeding. Drivers SPEED around a blind corner.

It's a really horrid road and I wish people would report their accidents as so many accidents do occur there but without reporting it legally its hard to get the MPs to take more action .


Is the lady ok now ?

Does anyone know if the old lady is ok? We drove past while they were obviously waiting for the ambulance to arrive and my daughter has been worried about her ever since.


On a positive note, it's nice to see that there are so many lovely caring people in this area. The lady was being well looked after by those people who had stopped to help.


I do hope she is ok and making a speedy recovery.

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
