I don't think any gritting is being done until tomorrow.  There has been sheet ice on Avondale Rise since Friday.  When one of our neighbours phoned Southwark Council, they were told that gritting would not be done until Monday as services are reduced due to Xmas hols!!!!  So someone has made a warning sign and we have spread some sand/salt to try and prevent more accidents!

Did an errand on Saturday night in Streatham.  I've rarely seen so much sheet ice on Palace Road, a cycle route going up past Highfield park (rather than coming across very occasional patches of black ice).  At least it was obvious.  I walked the worst bits.

Maybe Lambeth don't routinely grit that road.  I always managed on the Surrey canal path Peckham library to Burgess Park.   Not done Greendale in very cold weather.

    • Good to be reminded this is still operating
    • I don't know if this is the right section to put this, but if you see anybody sleeping rough in this freezing cold, you can alert an organisation who will help via this link https://thestreetlink.org.uk/ Shelters have been set up in London for them. This is from an email I got today: London has been facing dangerously cold temperatures. For those sleeping rough, this weather can be life-threatening. London’s Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP) has been activated throughout this week to ensure warm, safe emergency accommodation has been available for those who need it. StreetLink connects people sleeping rough with local outreach teams who assess their needs and offer support services. By making a report, you could save someone’s life.
    • Looks like the flats were built on the same footprint.       
    • I'm going to add a fourth recommend for Rob Mills. A while back he did my boiler check and was so much more thorough than the previous boiler engineers I'd used, also taking the time to explain everything he was doing and why, which was extremely reassuring. Then this last weekend, when it was freezing cold,  my boiler stopped working early on Saturday morning and was throwing out error messages that I couldn't resolve. He walked me through various steps to try via text message and resolved the issue for me with no charge. I was incredibly grateful and honestly, highly recommend him.
