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.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
