Ultimatly Rye Lane suffers with a bad traffic problems, being too narrow for Buses, Deliveries and Cars, hence why something was implemented in the first place (The No Entry section at the Southern end) - and as most of the shops don't have rear access roads then the concept for banning delivery lorries isn't a viable or sustainable one for the business community.


Obviously the scheme needs to be reviewed as the delivery lorries tend to bunch up in large clusters (causing traffic flow problems) and some cars need to access the lane to collect bulky goods. This is made worse by the Bendy Buses at the moment which take up twice the road space as a normal bus.


The Peckham Town Centre Management Group (PTCMG) would be interested in your thoughts on this matter as we have the same comments from our business members and we want to present a paper to the council in the new year to express realistic concepts for improving the traffic and parking situation down Rye Lane (and in the town centre in general)


Many thanks in advance

Blimey, now if there was a Peckham SE15 forum then this post could have been posted there instead of the East Dulwich SE22 forum as currently discussed about in the ' About this forum' section of this forum or perhaps it could have been posted in the Nunhead forum.


Those shops on Rye lane sure need their deliveries.

Hmmm, it would probably be the only post on there!


My experience with these deliveries were that they weren't the problem alone - people take the piss by leaving the vans parked up outside shops for hours on end. I get frustrated by traders hiding behind 'business necessity' when all it's really about is convenience and laziness.


The roads seem pretty empty at 7am - Peckham's a late rising village. Perhaps restricting deliveries to 6am to 8.30am only? (Rye Lane isn't a commuter route).

Interesting views so far, and yes the Rising Bollards scheme did have a slight drawback - it didn't work in Peckham (rumour has it that the scheme was visited in Oxford and was deemed to be a good idea for Peckham, which is a different type of town centre and community)


Still interested in people's views as we want to turn the town centre away from "what do you expect, this is Peckham" to "THIS is Peckham?" (as in a nice surprise to visitors)

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
