Thanks, appreciate that.

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.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
