This is the response I had yesterday from council officers:


"

Dear Councillor James Barber,


Thank you very much for drawing our attention to the poor drainage on East Dulwich Road at crossroads with both Adys Road and Crystal Palace Road.


A member of our team visited the location to investigate the problem. The gully crew were instructed to attend and clean all three gullies straight away but found the pipe from drain run to about 15metres in the direction of the sewer and stopped. To establish what is really happening underneath the carriageway a detailed investigation including a CCTV survey has subsequently been instructed to clarify whether possible civil works will be required to rectify the problem. In the interim awaiting further investigations, our gulley crew will attend to remove surface water anytime there is heavy rainfall until all the necessary remedial works are completed.


We will update you when this is done. Please do not hesitate to contact us if there are further issues relating to this matter.


Kind regards,


"


As soon as I hear more I will pass it on.

    • I'd like some of whatever you're having RD.....
    • Rather than making this thread political could people just realise that to the best of our knowledge this individual is still out and about in our neighbourhood. please stay alert and hope he gets taken off of our streets sooner rather than after someone else gets hurt.
    • We are currently de-cluttering so I regularly look at the “Wanted” section to see if someone is looking for something that I may wish to dispose of in the near future. I am amazed at the number of views for posts which appear not to have elicited a single response.  Some posts have zero responses despite recording between 1,000 and 2,000 views.  This far exceeds the number of views per individual item in the “For Sale” section.   Any suggestions?
    • I think a lot depends on how you will deal with school drop offs and pickups in primary school. If you’re going to have a nanny to do that then great, but if you’ll be doing that yourself you’ll need to factor the home -> school -> station timings. Our son went state (Belham and Charter East) which with wrap around care made the timings manageable. I don’t know if the private primaries have busses, so maybe it’s not so bad… Commute wise it depends where in the city you work. Thameslink is great if you’re near St Paul’s or Farringdon. Southern to London Bridge and then tube or bus (though I hate changing to the Northern Line at rush hour at LB). Or even for some places Windrush to Lizzie line, district line or walk (when I go to Bishopsgate I tend to walk from Shoreditch High St).    Choosing  a station with options helps with any transport disruption so Herne Hill of the places you listed. If you’re looking further afield, towards Denmark Hill has good connections and you can walk/cycle down Greendale to get to Alleyn’s or JAGs. You might also consider some of the streets near Warwick Gardens on the Peckham side, the Villa is a well regarded pre-prep and Peckham Rye station is well connected.  Good luck.
