East dulwich grove pelican crossing by Dulwich communtiy hospital had car upto my feet using this pelican crossing.

my hubby disabled and has to use this everyday and nearly very day cars just speed over it even when see you trying to cross.

not well lite...... think should be a traffic light rather than pelican as another pelican further up and that ones ok seem to stop at that one.

near glenarry road.


melbourne grove adjoining east dulwich grove a nightmare as cars coming at you 4/5 ways and often speeding,lot children use that one.

Agree with you here, Sean, and you raise an intersting point re: 'accidents'. Police now refer to them as 'collisions' rather than accidents as generally they will find that somebody was at fault whether due to careless /drunk /impatient /arrogant driving and therefore cannot really be considered an accident.

Tinkering with pavement furniture, kerbs, bollards, humps and bumps, pelicans etc is not going to address the root cause of this anti-social behaviour.


Put speed traps up all over the place, snap everyone doing 25mph in the 20 zone, or 35 in the 30 zone, instant ₤150 fine in the post.


You'd only need to run it one day a month to start to affect behaviour. Also, our council tax would be slashed by all the extra money coming in.

Totally agree with Izodia about the zebra crossings - for example whenever I cross the one between Dulwich Picture Gallery and Dulwich park, cars actually accelerate. Someone told me it's technically illegal to drive over zebra crossings as you have to always approach them at a speed at which you could stop, which made me laugh, although I'm not entirely sure whether it's true.

    • At present several large retailers such as Co-op, Tesco, Waitrose, John Lewis, and Next use a cloud-based facial recognition system that gives instant alerts to the entry on the premises of known shoplifters.  Around £19 million incidents of retail theft (some with attacks on staff) occur ever year in the UK amounting in value to £2.6 Billion in value, involving 41,000 known offenders. Shoplifting adds to the retailer's costs and this is passed on eventually to honest shoppers, isn't there a case for F.R. to become mandatory at all retailers?
    • Nasty piece of work. Targets locations with a healthy independent presence and farmers’ markets; typical vampire capitalism. Great supporter of a Brexit too. All good reasons to go elsewhere, preferably small independent., 
    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks
