Look at post Southwark nx road plans 11 nov 2014. Shows more than just resurfacing. Cllr Barber responses to all


You might have to dig not too good with it but it's there

Yes . Exactly..


It's a minor inconvenience if you need the bus stop..


The crossing is still in place..

BUT Iceland has now gone. I'm sure it will all be fixed by the time M&S comes to town.

Otherwise there will be riots.

But the point is, it's an "inconvenience" which is going on far longer than it should because nobody is bloody working on it.


And it's probably not a "minor" inconvenience if you have a disability which means it takes you much longer than most people to walk to another bus stop.


GRRRRRRRRR.

Ah OK, fair enough then, (nearly) all is forgiven :)

Just to note that the workmen are out there today installing kerbs.


I was so happy to see this that I chatted to the guys and asked what the hold-up was and they said that they had to wait for the granite kerbs to arrive from China.


The kerbs should be done by Monday and then they'll install the pavement, so hopefully it will all be done by the end of next week, fingers crossed.


The granite deliver delay isn't a wind-up, this has happened before (the Melbourne/EDG raised junction for example)... Southwark orders in bulk to save money (not just from China, there have been delays from Ireland as well), but works get delayed when supply runs out of the specified units.

Pleased to report that they are charging through the road works at the moment at least 3 stones completed a day................


Really can they go any slower ?


There are no more then 4 workmen on site at one time and by the looks of it 2 have to be talking and eating or sitting ?


WTF how slow when is the completion date 2018 ? Totally acceptable for a main road to take this long,

Will reduce the cost of a barrier if Cllr B thinks it might be a good idea if someone considers it a good idea to boost property valves

Hang on, lads; I've got a great idea.

Let's pedestrianize Lordship Lane, back track on the Melbourne Grove scheme and send all the Buses through there.

      Has Ed Davey lost the plot?

      By Cancerian · Posted

      I wasn’t asking if anyone would vote Reform? But as you’ve brought it up. It was a very theatrical speech as usual by Ed Davey. Why he mentioned Nigel Farage’s name 38 times but Keir Starmer’s name just once in his once in a while chance to push his party’s plans for the future I don’t know. There was nothing laid out by this man in the plan for the future and his general election grab for 2029?

      Who? Danny Thompson or Richard Thompson?! I don't think we could/could have afforded either of them! We only started the Goose in 2008. Danny Thompson to the best of my knowledge (understandably given his instrument) only performed with other musicians, usually very well known. It never occurred to us  to ask about Richard Thompson. I think we just assumed our venues would be  too small, even DHFC.

      I'm blue-skying here, but you did ask. In the US, there's a franchise called 'Ripley's Believe It Or Not!' It's an 'Odditorium' - basically a museum of the strange, bizarre and barely credible. They always seem quite busy - I reckon a British version could work on that site and bring some cash into the area. They also offer an affordable, quality casual dining experience. It could be called something like 'Dave's You're Shitting Me?' or 'Bob's I Shit You Not!' or 'Jimmy Hill's 'Yeah? Chinny Reckon!' And I'd like to see a helipad. And a 'Koala Kuddlery' And a windfarm. And a Mini 'Spoons.

      Gosh, free meal for two.. peanuts as in your time.. well, I thought the salad bar was great, unlimited non alcoholic drinks, free bread, butter, etc, god knows at least six dressings for salads, plus oil and vinegar to do yourself.. yup, main courses were not fab but equally better than Mac Donald’s burgers and always had veggies options, plus fish, and chicken.. Gather one sadly around Beulah Hill area has also closed…. Certainly would not have beaten the door down to get there, but equally reasonable price with unlimited salad bar plus various desserts at an affordable price for all… Not a fan of Wetherspoons at all - all chucked in microwave but equally  can’t knock them for prices and certainly booze is cheap compared to Lordship Lane eateries.. So, what do we all think is going to replace the non exsistent pub? Or would like to see?  If Dulwich Estates were not landlords.. I will start — social housing, new health centre, Aldi/Lidl/Iceland…A building that incorporates community areas/ library/ roof top space for planting, rooms let out at affordable prices, let’s go crazy here, along the same theme, opportunity to ask local residents what they would like or, who ever leases it or buys it to have an open day and show to all interested if not a block of flats, plans and suggestions… might a well dream on.. maybe, will be second hand car garage… tent city in containers - least would not be homeless and have your own space, key and lock…
