That's what it looks like.


WTF?


And they now seem to have some sort of ramp at the end of North Cross Road? It looked at first as if they were going to close the road off completely (permanently) at the Lordship Lane End, given the changes of levels they have now introduced, but no - cars will have to go up. And then down.


Let's hope the end result is worth all this aggro to pedestrians, bus users and drivers over such a long period of time. Grrrrr.

Can James Barber please confirm that Nx rd is not to be closed off at the Ldship end?


To paraphrase Councillor Barber, the stated aim of these works is to make that area a nicer experience for pedestrians.

James has also stated that the new configuration will not in any way affect traffic flow.

these works are quite substantial yet there doesnt seem to be any clear explanation of what they are actually doing anywhere. You could definitely interpret them as closing off northcross road from LL permanently, but i assume this is wrong because surely they would have consulted on that?

Some time ago, when these works were first challenged Cllr Barber said the works were being done for safety reasons. many pointed out that the number of accidents on this road was exceeded by some way by other roads in ED. Cllr Barber then shifted his position and stated the following


"The NXR/LL has a number of pedestrian movements but primarily these works are to make this junction more pleasant and a better experience."


So there you go an expensive and deeply obstructive measure for a somewhat wishy washy reason. Cllr Braber has more recently stated that he is sure it will all be worth it in the end. Okay.

Well they may well be waiting for more material to turn up and everyone is entitled to a lunch break.

Like you said 12.30

The ramp seems to be quite steep.. considering cars turning left from L.L and will be on half lock

this is going to put quite a strain on steering/front bearings and suspension.

As if car drivers don't suffer enough from road humps.

Are the pavements being widened for all the baby buggies?


If they are trying to change our car usage by removing parking spaces; give me a break please? I commute all week and it is a luxury to jump in the car and "do the rounds" on a Saturday. No, I don't mean one end of LL to another but into Crystal Palace, LL etc.


Finally, the work is taking an age!!

Went passed the road works 30 minuets ago still no work men on site, how can they be aloud to get away with this on a day to day basis do we not have council officers that are employed to see that work is carried out correctly and on time.

The point is, that it appears to be taking very very much longer than it should be.


Inconveniencing, for example, people with mobility disabilities and parents with buggies/children who have to walk to/from another bus stop.

    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
