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

    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.
