Hi Monica,

We were told that Lordship Lane could have no parking from Goose Green to outside the Coop store.

Which compared to the victims injuries seems a small price to pay. But then we were told creating 2 lanes each way would increase traffic speeds and increase the severity of any crash.


Saying that Cllr Rosie Shimell and I asked to meet council officers on site to take a long hard look at this junction and what can be done. We've been blanked so far and we need to escalate our request from before Christmas.


One thing that has recently changed. The entry treatment to East Dulwich Grove used to be much more severe and a different colour. it really stood out for both counts. Since it was replaced we've had these two crashes.

Dear lovely LisaLouLou and all,


I'm the lady who was afraid she lost her foot under the truck Monday. I'm incredibly lucky happy grateful in equal measures, as I am now out of the hospital. I will never be able to properly thank all of the marvellous people involved, from the simply wonderful girl who held my hand down at curb level for the 35mins I was stuck under the truck, to the lovely policeman who spent hours accompanying me from the curb through the hospital stages, to the professional, KIND, amazing staff at Kings College Hospital.


I was discharged yesterday, with multiple fractures in my foot, but no acute bone injury and toes/heel/ankle seem uninjured. I can feel and wiggle my toes. I was wearing stronger trainers than usual that day and attribute getting off with such light injuries to them, to the truck stopping when and where it did, and to sheer luck.


I live 5mins away from that corner, and also find it to be treacherous for pedestrians, but cycling was always more straightforward. Mostly it was a matter of worrying about cars turning right there, not vehicles turning left that indicated in time.


I hate that the accident happened, that so many people were inconvenienced by the road closure, that so much manpower was expended, emergency services needed. But I am hugely grateful for the human kindness I experienced along the way, and the fact I will cycle again (much to some of my family's dismay!)


I'll leave it there for now, and not add any more to the thread, outside of sincere thanks for all the concern shown me, and finally a photo of my phenomenal foot.


Marie

    • Of course  The tests are very stringent and they look carefully at claimants for things like how easily they can get up from an armless chair, if they don't use the chair arms thats a black mark, can they walk More 20 yards without problems including breathlessness, pain or even if they need aids (again over 20 yards reduces their chances of claiming) and so on  Trust me, having been assessed a few times, its not easy or guarenteed to get or maintain PIP.  But yes, the whole what is claimed for should be reviewed bur let's not penalise those who need it.  
    • Afternoon,   Does anyone have an Islabike 14 cnoc that their little one has grown out of and in need of a new home? I would prefer orange if possible or, failing that, blue or red.   Many thanks.    Michelle
    • Hello All,   I am looking for a Little Tikes covered sand pit. If you have one that your little ones have grown out of, please get in touch.   Many thanks in advance.   Michelle
    • My perspective is based on reason - my first comment was a question - what is driving the forecast increase in claimants. It suggests that - if so many new claims are expected, that either there is something seriously wrong or the tests are not sufficiently stringent. Happy for you to have a stab at that.
