Can't see anything from plan that suggests ST Francis Road would be proposed route as all the plans seem to still show it as a cul-de-sac. Aside from not being suitable for handling that volume of traffic, the access points at end of cul-de-sac are in private ownership so would be a non starter. Hadley are just testing the water at the moment. Whatever they actually have planned is probably some way off from being revealed.

Is St Francis Rd any narrower than other residential streets in East Dulwich? Looks similar to me. The Abbotswood estate is pretty small and doesn't generate much traffic, but St Francis would become a through road rather than a cul-de-sac so this might make it slightly less desirable.

@eastdulwichhenry, the road access is not the only very unclear thing.


Currently the now slightly reduced in size club carpark can hold around forty cars (reduced by the carwash). During matches we now see between thirty and fifty cars parking along the rear side of the ground, down Abbotswood Road, Burrow Road and even Talbot Road. There is no club carpark on any of the plans and it certainly needs one.

How very dare you.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
