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.

"Sorry if this has been mentioned before but does anyone know why the buses are suddenly announcing "alight here for the Champion Hill stadium"? Doesn't seem like much of a landmark....."


How very dare you.

    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • 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
