Good morning James,


I sent you an email today about this but thought I would post my message here too, as I find that you reply more to these posts than emails. I wonder if any investigation has taken place yet regarding the vibration felt when traffic goes past the small patch of resurfaced area in Barry road between Sylvester Road and Underhill Road.


Also is Barry Road going to be swept up for tree leaves at some point? All other roads seem to be clear of leaves except Barry Road.


Thank you.


Regards,


Coccinelle

Hi Coccinelle,

I receive 60-100 councillor emails a day.

I visited your home and agreed the vibrations were really evident on the pavement. I contacted officers to ask them to investigate. Apologies but they've not responded so I will chase again.

The East Dulwich Police Sgt. has told me today:


"Well the good news is that yesterday our pro-active unit arrested a LARGE group of people for buglary in a neighbouring area. We have already recovered a very large haul of property from the dulwich burglaries."


Figers crossed we'll see a dramatic fall in attempts and actual burglaries.

Hi James, you could help sort out the issues at Dulwich Medical Centre and getting appointments or actually just getting through on the phone - its crazy and they are taking on new patients so the sign says outside. Read other posts on the forum.

thanks

Hi James, pretty minor request but....


The lights across the Rye from Roy Brooks to Somerton road are really useful now the days are so short, but the one next to the round caf? has been out for ages and that creates a really dark area right in the middle of the park. Any chance of contacting those who fix this?

Go to the Councils website-it couldn't be easier to get thd lamp fixed. It's what the website is for.

Hi unlurked,

You're right but if it's been out of action for so long the normal channels don't work.


Hi ultraburner,

Have reported it. Suspect it will have a reason for not being fixed before. Whenever the local electric distribution company are involved it takes minimum weeks and often months.

How about unlurked go back to troll school as she's pretty low quality for a troll; We could meet on the rye and discuss it if you like?


The dogshit my 2 year old son got all over himself could have blinded him (toxocariasis) and maybe the lights being on might have let me see said shit.


Thanks James.

Don't be ridiculous-if there was light your two yr old kid wouldn't have got dog shit over it! Nothing to do with council lighting, more to do with bad parenting.

Oh you really are on a roll tonight, unlurked, aren't you?


Are you as unhappy a person as your posts make you sound?

Hi James,


Do you have any idea how much is being spent on reparing the bollard at the Nutbrook street/Adys rd junction? It seems to get knocked over and repaired about twice a month. I assume it was put there for a good reason but given the time and money spent repairing it so often, maybe its best left down?

Hi James

The aircraft noise has increased again.

It's now constant aircraft are lower that before.

How is it 40 year no aircraft now all day from 4.30 am to 11.30pm+ constant and low.

Drone and Screeching Jets constantly.

I've been all over the world and lived and worked near airports but the noise we have now is a bad as anything I've experienced.

Really Insane!

I guess there's a lot of happy people in a another part of London who no longer get any noise!

Hi KidHardy,

I'll ask.


Hi Fazer71,

Many of the lower flying aircraft are related to London City airport which open in 1987 and grown rapidly.

The colder weather means noise travels further and louder so they might also help explain why it's suddenly worse.

Scotland had terrible storms a little earlier this week so also suspect a number of flights from had to fly in and out.

James, I live in Friern road and have now grown tired of the number of box lorries that park continually here, parking is a nightmare without them. What are the laws and regulations governing parking of commercial lorries on the public road on a permanent basis ?


Iam unsure if they belong to a single person but there are 3 in the road at 3.5ton plus and park on the road continually.

I won't get along to Friern Road before the weekend this week.

Can you tell me which bit of Friern Road please?


Generally as the street have unrestricted parking as long as the vehicles are taxed, insured, MoT'd, not obviously unroad worthy or blocking a drive then not much can be done.


If you email me we can discuss what else might be possible.

Hi James,


I live on Upland road and the top end has been shut off to traffic since yesterday. As residents it would have been helpful to have been informed of this. Do you know who I need to contact to find out how long it is going to last? Also, a sign at the roundabout at Goodrich road would be helpful to let cars know before they get all the way up to the top. Thank you in advance for your help.

    • Gone to the better hunting grounds during this local ongoing dry spell.
    • The Dreamliner has an impeccable service history, you are more likely to get mugged on the way to the airport than having any issue with your flight, that's how safe it is!  Have a great trip.
    • Maybe. Does that kill grass? If so, possibly the same dog that has left its poo outside my house - pretty sure it's not fox poo.
    • Here you are, intexasatthemoment (you seem to have been in Texas for a very long time!) We went to three of the recommended places yesterday,  as they were all in the same road (just near Wallington)  and I needed to give the car a run to avoid another slap on the wrist from my garage (and another new battery). Here's my findings. BARNES Parking We thought we would go here first as it was the earliest to close on a Sunday (3pm). There was no apparent entrance or anywhere to park. One notice said do not park on grass verge, and another one said staff cars only! Flittons was opposite but I'd already passed the entrance, so I had to drive down the road, turn round at the next available place (covered in signs saying do not park here) and park in Flittons car park! Plants Barnes  specialise in hardy perennials, so that was basically what they had, but an excellent selection, and many more unusual plants (or at least, plants you probably wouldn't find in a garden centre), eg Corydalis,  lots of different varieties of Epimediums, Trollius, some lovely Phygelius, lots of different ferns). The plants were divided into sections according to whether they needed sun or shade or could cope with both. They had a particularly good selection of  shade loving plants. There was really useful information above  each group of plants, which meant you didn't have to look at individual labels. All the plants looked in good health and  very well cared for. They don't produce a printed catalogue, but they  said their plant list was online (I haven't looked yet). I assume most of  the plants they have at any one time are when it's their flowering season (if they flower). I wasn't intending to buy anything, though was very tempted, but I'd definitely go here again once I've sorted out my overgrown garden. Other Stuff Don't think they sell pots, compost, etc. No cafe/tea room and I didn't see a loo, but Flittons is just over the road. FLITTONS  Parking Easy to park Plants Sorry, but mostly terrible. There was one section with vegetables and the rest was flowering plants. There was a general feeling of delapidation. Some of what was on display was actually dead (surely it would only take a minute to remove dead plants) and a lot of the rest was very poorly maintained, eg gone to seed, weedy, apparently unwatered, or with a lot of dead leaves. There was a notice asking for volunteers to work there, so I can only assume they can't afford to pay staff. Other stuff There was a notice to a play barn (?) saying invited people only, so I think they must host kids' parties or something. They redeemed themselves with a cosy little cafe with savoury stuff, nice cakes, iced chai and oat milk, and a loo. Also a selection of books and CDs on sale for charity. If you want an Andrews Sisters CD, you can find one here. There is a small shop with gift shop type stuff and a display of the history of Flittons, which apparently is family owned since the sixties (I think it was). I suspect that the arrival of Dobbies down the road must have greatly affected Flittons' fortunes, which is sad. DOBBIES  Parking Easy in theory once you had navigated a rather narrow entrance, but it was very busy so it took a while to find a space. Plants  Lots of plants, well maintained but I imagine their turnover is high. Lots of nice bedding plants for hanging baskets, window boxes etc  to cater for all tastes (ie some of it wasn't mine, but fine if you like those horrid little begonias (my opinion only) but they did have some nice (in my opinion) stuff as well. I was tempted but decided to buy from North Cross Road market. Fair selection of climbers, various different Clematis etc. I'd be happy to buy plants from here. The prices seemed reasonable and they were in good condition. Other stuff  It's a big garden centre with all that entails these days, so a large area selling garden furniture and storage, tools, animal collars, pots, all the usual stuff you would expect. Very helpful staff. There's a cafe which we didn't check out, charging points for electric cars, a Waitrose (no idea how big, we didn't look). Only on our way out did we see that there was a drive through "express section" for compost etc, which was annoying as I wanted compost and hadn't seen any anywhere,  but I was getting tired by that time. Just Down the Road A ten minute drive away is Wilderness Island, a nature reserve in Carshalton, which is well worth a visit. We heard eleven different kinds of bird (according to Merlin) and saw a Kingfisher flying down the tiny river!
