Thames Water need to install a non return valve on the main sewer that runs along the middle of 237-247 Underhill Road for 8 weeks. This does seem an inordinate amount of time - I will repeat my challenge of why so very long.


Any Thames Water installing a non return valve experts on the forum able to technically comment?


I had thought of asking for these works to take place during the summer holiday - less traffic disruption - but then we have lots more kids and parents around beign disturbed by any noise. So on relfection havent asked for this.


As this excavation is at depth steel sheeting needs to be installed to protect the excavations and after much prodding they're insistent the whole road will need to be closed.


The P13 bus diversion will be Upland Road, Dunstans Road, Peckham Rye, Barry Road Lordship Lane.

Neat the way we get a cinema where the 'best' bus for many would be the P13 to see it diverted away from the cinema almost as soon as it opens. Taken with the continuing chaos around London Bridge and the completely laughable disruption around the Elephant for 176 and 63/ 363 users - and many others (the buses no longer even reach part of the tube at Elephant) - the bit that the buses are now barred from actually isn't being worked on, and probably won't for months, but still a full 15+ month closure is enforced - and you might think that the public authorities are out to punish this bit of Southwark for being, well, this bit of Southwark.

So if the whole road is closed, what does that mean for residents of Underhill? Are we not going to be able to get our cars out unless we park on another street before the works start?


I have to admit, I really can't see why the whole road would need to be closed given the range of numbers you've quoted James - it sounds like it's just the bit between Dunstans and Upland that is affected, presumably this is linked to the recent works on St. Aiden's Road?


I will be away when the works start so want to know if I have to find somewhere else to park my car before I go, can't do without it for eight weeks.

I don't quite understand how this diversion works. I assume this is going towards Streatham and the bus would turn right along Upland Road (after the Friern Road stop) until it intersects with Dunstans Road (but remains as Upland Road) and then turn right along Lordship Lane thus missing the affected part of Underhill Road along with the rest of it and Melford Road.


I cannot work out where Peckham Rye and Barry Road come into it going in either direction.

Underhill Road from 237-247 will be closed to motor traffic. Still open for pedestrians and cyclists (who may need to walk along some pavement).


The works will take palce 6 days as week to minimise the time of closure.


So if anyone spots no work taking place on the site 8am-6pm Mon-Sat inclusive please escalate to me. I have the suspicion Thames Water contractors will not bust a gut to get this done quicker - delighted if I get corrected. I am escalating to the Thames Water local government liaison person.

Hi SebsC,

The closure will be of ?Underhill Road between Dunstans Road and Upland Road. Very close to St.Aidans.


I also can't picture the diversion other than - Dunstans Road, Peckham Rye, Barry Road, Lordship Lane finally Upland Road. A very very long diversion. Suspect Lordship Lane will get cut out after a short while.

I'm only guessing, but the only way I can make sense of the diversion details given by James Barber, is that the buses heading for Streatham go right into Upland Rd and turn left into Lordship Lane at the top of the road, while the buses in the other direction turn down Dunstans to Peckham Rye and then turn up Barry Rd and then right into Underhill to continue along their normal route.

That would seem the most practical as you can't have the bus running in both directions along either Upland or Dunstans.

  • 2 weeks later...
Letter through the door from Thames Water. Starting Monday 8th June til the end of June. St.Aidans Road will become a one-way street from Underhill Road and local diversion signs will be in place. The P13 bus route will be diverted along Lordship Lane in both directions and will not go down Underhill or Whatley Road whilst the road is closed.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest.
