The high street location isn't particularly conventional, but surely a new crossing plus a lolli-person for a couple of hours a day should solve the safety issue? Yes it is a busy road, but vehicles don't travel as fast as they do on Peckham Rye for instance..

One has to take in all practicalities...


Classrooms on a busy road. Traffic Noise. Solution double glaze and keep windows shut.?


Pollution:- Solution double glaze and keep windows shut.?


Hot weather:- Solution Air conditioning.??? Not good environment especially for young people.

Dry eyes especially when spending time on computer screens. Respiratory problems.


Outside play/exercise area. Not applicable.


Parents driving children to school. Parking. ???


Our kids deserve better.


This is not Foxy being grumpy. It is common sense..


Then Foxy does not have to rely on making himself popular to get votes. ;-)

For those that jumped down Dulwichfox's throat (which I know is hard to avoid at times), it's not like he said anything outrageous. I too thought about the busy road immediately.


Although I went on to assume they'd add another crossing, and not have the gate right there on LL.

There are alternatives to aircon. I worked in an office where we had 'cooling rods' served by a cold water cooling system. It was fantastic in summer.

Yep.. If Foxy was to report that .. 'The Station was shut' there would be some people that would

immediately take that as Foxy being negative, not Foxy being helpful.


I don't think they ever actually understand what I write. I try to keep them as short as possible.

I do not feel the need to explain the punch-line so to speak. I assume a certain level of intelligence. :)


DulwichFox Not an actual fox. and not my real name.

It is good to see so many solutions to all possible problems.


Better to have a situation where no problems need to be resolved.


I build computer programs. Good programing is getting it right first time.

Not having to spend hours de-bugging badly written code.


I suppose it's a bit much to expect that from any local authority when it comes to planning ahead.

As it would if it opened on any other quiet road. Are you saying it should open onto a busier one that would, presumably, become even busier?


Not being snarky - just that if people object to schools opening on busy and on quiet roads there's not a lot left.

Won't someone think of the children!


Won't someone think of the quiet roads!


Won't someone think about me me me and my narrow view of world!!!


It's a school. In an area that needs one. Won't be first on a busy road and won't be last. Ease off on the nimbyism people


(Anyone got stats on how many horses died from all this traffic when they were stationed there?)

Foxy,


Why don't you get your computer and write some code that:


- meets the need for the shortage of primary schools places in SE22

- is safe

- doesn't need any air conditioning

- doesn't create any extra traffic

- takes advantage of the what's actually available on the market in terms of space at the moment

- doesn't spoil any quiet residential roads

- is conveniently located for the people who need it



...should take a clever bloke like you about 5 mins or so

What SJ and Ron70 said.


Lots of young families moving here, breeding, and needing education and that. I can't think of a better use of space.


What we really don't need are those idiots who drive 4x4 cars so no-one can ever pass them. Please buy smaller cars and get over yourselves - We know you're rich, but you really do block most of East Dulwich. And the world. ;)


And east dulwich is fairly flat. You're not having an "adventure" in your 4x4. You are just causing traffic.

Computer code is governed by strict syntax and logic.

Council proposals have no concept of either and thereforej

There is no computer or computer language that

Could resolve such a conundrum.

Jeremy, I don't live on that road but often walk past the site. It seems a very small site for a school with 60 children. If it goes ahead, I do wish it well and hope it is a success. Children benefit from a good sized playground..

People saying that site is too small for 60 children?


That was two rooms when I went to school - how can a place that big not be big enough for 4 rooms


There were countless police, cells, stables yadda yadda. PLENTY room for 60 pupils


But I'm glad I didn't study planning. Turns out all I need to make a decision is 15 seconds on the internet

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
