I know I'm moaning to the converted (know the area), but the number of cars that come down Upland road expecting to turn into Piermont Road and get thro to the common is phenomenal. Once they realise they cannot get through they need to reverse back out catching wing mirros on the way, back into one of the cars parked on Upland road and then drive away - is there anyway we can get the council to put a sign up letting people know this is not a thro road?

Yeah, Southwark Council REALLY listen.

Ha.

It just so happens there is a traffic segment in the next Nunhead and Peckham Rye Community Council next Wed 21 July. Check the website for the venue (Whorlton Road). I do not know if the street mentioned is in that area. If it is not,then go to the Comm COuncil that DOES cover it. It's interesting to read but we can't do anything.

Another problem may be that the cars that drive down this road may be being TOLD to by the SatNavs. I bet that's what's happening.

Solved.....Piermont Road Flyover, apparently the council have been looking into it. They have produced a artists impression of how it might look. That would sort it. Also would give the benefit of somewhere dry for piss heads to hang out.

2 for the price of 1... ( see attached image)

I can't wait for the flyover - They're already calling it 'South London's Answer to the Westway'


Inevitable thread about ED house prices 'will probably break the internet', a source at the South London Reporter remarked

The South-Eastway - I like it. It's catchy in a sort of non catchy way....I think that the top end of PR Park, with it's useless fields can be redeveloped as a new retail park. Finally we'll get McDonalds, Pizza Hut,KFC Matalan and others. ED has been crying out for these for a long time. Obviously Piermont Road will need to be protected so the fly over can be extended up Upland road with Upland road being extended over LL to join with the south circular. This will essentially like Dulwich Park and Peckham Park. The Park Link Flyover as it might be know , East Dulwich answer to cross rail.


I really feel that we are onto something here

With any luck they'll be mixing concrete by the weekend!


You overlooked something though - Parking is an issue that rears its ugly head time and again in ED - I feel to better serve the new retail park and appease residents so choked by the current on-street arrangements, a new multi-storey near the beginning of the flyover on the under-utilised bottom half of the Rye would be a welcome addition.

Genius. Who needs planners, Architects , road planners. THIS IS PROGRESS, Power to the people.


Of course it will be environmentally friendly, like Harris Boys Academy we too can randomly slap wind turbines on the roof ( see attched).After all we are in a particularly windy part of London, being low down and nowhere near the coast.


This is a call to pick up your spades.....


Before anyone else says it (mods), might be going a bit off-topic now......

    • A Google search brought up eleven Chango  branches, although they don't all seem to be listed on their website. In the order they came up: East Dulwich, Clapham Common, Mayfair, Wandsworth, City of London, Wimbledon,  Parsons Green, Kensington, Highgate, Richmond, Hampstead. I think it is the positioning of this new branch that has mostly got to me. I accept that they would have to go for where a space became vacant, but Lordship Lane is pretty long, even just the part with shops in,  and choosing to  open a stone's throw away from Chacarero seems mean, to say the least. I wonder if they have made contact with Chacarero. It would be nice to think they had (in a friendly way, obviously!)
    • I like empanadas. I don't think Chango is a massive chain - it's got a few stores all in London I believe (stand to be corrected if I've got that wrong). I don't see a problem with them opening on the Lane personally. I really like Chacarero, but that doesn't mean that they should be immune from competition - if they're successful and open a couple more stores, are we then meant to stop supporting them for being a 'chain'?  That opening post does sound a lot like marketing spiel though. Is the OP perhaps connected to the new business I wonder?
    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has.
