unfortunately there has been a fatality. A car has over turned outside the vale pub. my thoughts go out to those involved. There are police along the corden line. Which runs right up to sainsbury turn off. You can not cross the road until there. i dont know what time is happened i live close by and never heard sirens.

Hi,


I believe that you cannot access the station and trains are not stopping at ED. To me it seems a little strange that they close off the road from L/L through to Sainsbury's and intermediate roads as well. It would look like the RTA is only part of the story.

Kind regards,

Libra Carr.

Are you sure? It looked to me like the gates were open when I walked past. However, I admit that I didn't check carefully so I could well be wrong

Quorn Road was the only road open and that was for back street traffic going up Dog Kennel Hill... That was earlier so not sure what is going on, did make enquiries with police to see what the situation was and they could'nt tell me much, just that Quorn Road was open...

I was walking towards sainsburys on dog kennel hill this morning about 5.50 when a green convertible golf came down the hill at around 70mph.

As the car got the costcutter opposite the dominos pizza it seemed to hit the traffic island and the drivers side front wheel collapsed.

The car carried on past me at speed even the it was scraping along the floor and hit a post opposite the vale pub, that's when the car flipped and landed on it's roof.

I ran to the car and helped a guy out who had cuts to his head.

I went to the other side of the car to help the driver but it seems he must have died on impact.

I don't know what happened to the guy who survived, a woman who came out of the vale pub was seeing to him.

The police took my details then I had to leave to go to work.

No, I couldn't see any news reports either, but I think a lot of things don't get into the news unless they want witnesses. Allgoodh was there and saw everything, although it was so early in the morning. I think it must have been very hard for Allgoodh, being 'first on the scene' but he or she seems to have known the best thing to do. And went to work afterwards - I would have been traumatised and would have had to go back home! So I am very impressed by Allgoodh, and I am very sorry for those involved in the accident, and their families/friends.

I agree with every word you have said Fliss.


Allgoodh - this may hit you later, I do hope you take some time out if it does.

      Porch Pirate on Underhill Road

      By Supercam · Posted

      I've just seen what I believe was a porch pirate looking for packages to steal on Underhill Road. Someone has just come and had a look and then spotted our ring camera and quickly shuffled off. Keep an eye for your packages, especially with Christmas coming up.

      the speed at which critics of labour have switched last week from "the economy is toast because of Reeves!" to "the economy is doing well and it's Reeve's fault!" I don't think it was a great budget and it was tinkering and won't deliver many of the things the country needs - but it wasn't the disaster some people on here have been predicting for months either and they hysterical reaction from the likes of Dan Hodges and cronies is embarrassing

      The Mansion Tax

      "they are usually built very cheaply" - as I understand it, the consensus is that homes are not being built at all, so not sure how they fit your description.  Have NO idea what you are on about with your climate change rules - but I suspect you just think the whole thing is a hoax anyway "no-one who has any choice would want to live in them" - again they aren't being built so not sure how this applies. So if a new street of housing was built somewhere in SE22 - you think people earring 50k, currently unable to get their own home  would not want to look at any new houses because of the reasons you describe? I doubt it. And today's cheap housing becomes tomorrows desirable, unaffordable homes - it's snobbery to say houses built before (say) 2000 were great and everything after is cheap and woke "they are built without any thought as to how the new residents will be offered basic services such as GP surgeries, transport links and schools etc,"   crikey - 15 minute cities are desirable so! Joking aside, I have seen towns expand and not enough thought is given to infrastructure etc - but that's as much to do with the horse trading done with locals to get the things built in first place. (someone will say "they can't have a shop there because it will take business away from someone else. And no pub because, I dunno drugs. Something" also - if you are going to build more surgeries and services (and we should) then you are going to have to tell all the people currently being told to ;eave the country to, erm, not leave because we need their expertise "but we can train brits to do those jobs" - how has that worked out for any country? Need immigration as well folks   But one thing we can't do is continue to not provide homes for all the people growing up and as they leaves schools and unis. And if we are not going to provide homes, and the value of your 1M house becomes 2M because of scarcity of housing, maybe don't complain too much if we need to claw some of that unearned income back because "actually, I'm the real victim in all of this"
