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.

    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
