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.

    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
