TFL currently says:


RYE LANE, SE15: Bus routes 12, 37, 63, 78, 197, 343, 363 and P12 are subject to diversion and delays in both directions on Rye Lane, SE15 due to emergency roadworks. Buses are diverted northbound from Peckham Rye, right Copeland Road, left Consort Road, left Clayton Road, (routes 12 and 343 then go left Hanover Park, right Rye Lane and rejoin line of route) ahead Clayton Road and rejoins line of route. Buses are diverted southbound from Hanover Park, ahead Clayton Road, right Consort Road, right Heaton Road, left Peckham Rye and rejoins line of route.


From what Strawbs said it's going to last all week.

When I cycled down there last night, only a small section south side of Bournemouth Road junction was blocked off. It was kind of nice to experience half of Rye Lane without traffic and made me think that pedestrianising south of Bournmouth Road, and re-routing buses down Bournemouth and back round to meet Peckham Rye could work. Would be a great spot for a proper market too.

Yeah - me too


Now if the contractors had left a cycle lan as opposed to leaving us fighting it out with pedestrians I'd feel cyclists finally have a place in the heart of the construction industry - especially in their motor vehicle role in causing death and serious injury to cyclists - about 50% of cases?

Having been a pedestrian "fighting it out" with cyclists through the Rye Lane roadworks the other day, my over riding feeling was get off you bike and push it for 100yrds.

I was not alone in having a small child with me and couldn't believe the callous & unthoughtful attitude of several cyclists who seemed to see it as a sport to weave around everyone regardless of anyone else - pretty disrespectful and ironic given how quickly most cyclists complain about the lack of respect their given with regard to their own safety.


Feel that some cyclists need to learn to treat others how they'd like to be treated themselves.

As I said buggie -


"Now if the contractors had left a cycle lane as opposed to leaving us fighting it out with pedestrians I'd feel cyclists finally have a place


So how about blaming the contractors not the cyclists?


Southwark KNOWS how many cyclists use that route in weekday am and pm - if not a lane why not a diversion?

Erm, how about not? If a cyclist doesn't have the sense to get off their bike & causes an accident by riding on the pavement then it's their fault, not the contractors (unsure where exactly you think s cycle lane could gone!) the road is closed to all traffic & if you don't want to use the diversion for all other wheeled traffic then go through on foot.


Am guessing you're not in PR as you're doing a pretty shocking job of sounding reasonable/endearing me to you.

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By ianr · Posted

      I'm glad that Barry's have posted.  Their mention of the merger soon led me to (a) bushy-tailed  PR guff about the new member joining the inpost 'family' and promising a bright happy world of lockers etc ahead. and (b) clear signs that the same problems related here seem to have been current and widespread even three months ago.  That's just from looking at one thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/vinted/comments/1nlv3u2/yodelinpost_merger_issues/

      Do we still get 50+ outdoor community events per year? All the ones round here seem to have been cancelled, like the Christmas Cracker and the summer equivalent and the Small Business Saturday event etc.  Even on the Southwark Presents page the only events in East Dulwich in the foreseeable future are non-council events organised by other people. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-presents?event_price=All&localgov_event_locality[0]=239&date_min=&date_max=&search=&page=2

      @CPR DaveWe are talking about Lambeth Council, not Southwark, but I agree. It will be interesting to see if Lambeth fill part of that space with another hire out to a private events company.  As to the idea that what is gained financially from hiring out Peckham Rye Park is a good trade off, does not account for long-term damage to the park and the loss of access to the community for a month at least, in the best summer months where trees and shrubs are in full bloom and animals are birthing or rearing youngsters. For the Council to claim they are 'green' when they allow this is hypocrisy at its finest. @Northern Star Thanks, so they say. I'd love to see a list of these high quality free events and what they entail. I am not aware of any high quality free events in and around ED. Stand to be corrected though. Crikey, seems like they cannot even let Lordship Lane have Christmas lights this year.
