That's terrible! Does that mean development has begun and it'll definitely be a restaurant or bar? Is there anywhere I can lodge my own objections?


Thank you for the update!

Hi 85volga,

Commercial businesses each have commercial waste contracts for waste disposal. In an ideal world all the Lordship Lanes businesses would have one commercial waste contractor realising lots of bulk purchasing savings and ensuring a better service. When asked the business association SSBA didn't feel they wee suitable for this. But they're interested in forming a Business Improvement District (BID). If successful I could see this taking such a scheme forward and others. Bulk energy buying being another ya to save lots of cash for local indie businesses.

Until then though please email specific locations and times troubling you and I will try and improve.


Hi Zenoria,

I've not spotted any planning application yet. If you spot a planning notice for the site on any lamp posts please prod me ASAP.

Maybe the first check should be that the bars & restaurants have the correct licence to place tables & chairs outside! I believe it's called a shop front licence.

Businesses are entitled to use whatever licensed waste carrier they choose. Where do you suggest the largd euro bins are kept? They will block the pavements. Bags are collected daily thats why left on street for collecting. Stop complaining over non issues.

If a business has a daily collection bins are not needed.

You can actually, at least on the Southern machines.

I've just experimented with the ED one.


You need to select Boundary Zone n (where n=6 for a freedom

pass holder). It finds itself among all the 'B' stations.

Hi LouiseC,

As Denmark Hill also has TfL services there I've asked GLA Assembly Member Caroline Pidgeon if she can apply pressure for a second ticket machine and whether the Camberwell Society idea of opening up another entrance could be explored.

I suspect resistance due to the amount of money already spent on Denmark Hill - even if all that cash resulted in more congestion!

James ,apologies if this has already have been raised but - junction of Whately Rd and Lordship Lane ,turning right into Lordship Lane from Whately Rd ,vision is badly obscured for motorists by recycling bins .


Could they be relocated ?

Hi ITATM,

Yes, but useful to have more people highlight this.


Circa 3 months ago I asked council officers to assess whether the guardrailings could be removed and recyclnig repositioned. It is taking a lot of chasing to make progress on this I'm afraid but I'm still chasing. I'm hopeful that by the summer it will be sorted.


Making Lordship Lane 20mph will have helped, certainly makes removing the guardrailing possible, by reducing speeds a smidgen.

James ,just to be clear the guardrailing is not a problem . It is the large litter/recycling bins that are the problem .

They have recently appeared in this position and presumably could easily be removed .


20mph not an element in positioning of bins .

So, James, the council have done as you requested and relocated the recycling bins - but only from one end of the railings to the other. I do appreciate now being able to see the road instead of the bins (where they were before) but they are now very conspicuous as the first thing you see, rather than the road, when you look to the right at this junction. Do you think the council consider this resolves the problem of the obstructed view at this junction. Perhaps you could take a look and see what you think?

When I drove past the bins today I realised that they weren't fixed and could easily ( tho not if recovering from surgery ) be shoved along .


If I'd realised that I wouldn't have raised the issue in the first place . Thanks to whoever has moved them . I'm afraid I don't quite understand the point Kiera makes .

hi James

Apologies if you already have had postings about this topic..but I was really upset, along with many other ED residents, to hear that Chris Burgess's grocers on Northcross rd, has been forced to close by bailiffs who changed the locks last week (I hear there is a short reprieve of maybe a couple of weeks)This as you know, has been a family run business for 47 yrs, and has been a valuable, good quality, and much loved business to many of us who chose to support him, rather than buy from the supermarkets. I just wonder, is there anything that we can collectively do, to change this decision? I know it has been a tortuous 'family' rift which made the lease a problem, but many of us signed petitions against closure, which apparently were not even looked at by the delegation who made the decision,of 4-2 against saving it..

Can you shed any further light on this, and what, if anything, we can do? I cannot believe the ED can lose a much needed, and only grocers.,,I am gutted

many thanks,Sue

Hi sue k,

Yes I supported Chris by attending the. planning Committee and speaking against the planning application as a ward councillor. As ward councillors my colleagues cllr Jonathan Mitchell, cllr Rosie Shimell and myself had called this application in to be decided by councillors. Officers recommended granting planning permission and by a majority the committee granted permission. Very disappointing.


The developers were clear to the planning committee they'd like to talk to Chris which was obvious at the time a shallow promise since sadly born out by events.


Since that committee we've been trying to find a different shop unit to transfer the business into. I'm still hopeful but their will probably be a gap.


If anyone knows of a local shop unit available please let Chris know ASAP.

Some weeks ago I was asked about whether a second ticket machine could be installed at Denmark Hill station due to congestion.


I asked Lib Dem GLA Assembly Member for help. She contacted TfL first who referred her to the Train Operating Company. They relinquish this station at the calendar year end to a different TOC. But they were sorry for any queueing - and highlgihted it's in their interest to sell tickets. They will monitor queueing and try ensuring staff with hand held tickets machine are their more often and look to open a second ticket office window.

If this doesnt solve the problem then they may recommend the next TOC installs a second machine.


She plans to meet with them again around June. So please do feed problems to me by email and I'll brief her about ED resident views.

Hi James.


Hoping you can help or point me in the direction of who can. Two issues.


I live on Maxted Road in SE15. More and more frequently we are getting full size coaches coming down our road having turned off Bellenden and then trying to turn left or right onto Nutbrook St and then gradually wind their way though onto East Dulwich Road. The problem is that a massive coach (I'm talking 70-80 seaters) does not fit on a narrow residential street with parked cars both sides.


They are getting stuck, blocking traffic and causing chaos. Often late into the evening. I have a suspicion they are coming from the Peckham Lodge which seems popular with large groups of European students (the coaches are normally overseas registered). I'm guessing their sat-navs just send them that way. But it's really not a good idea. Is there any way of either making an instruction to the owner of the Lodge to direct coaches via Camberwell and Dog Kennel Hill or putting up signage stating coaches are not permitted?


2) Why was the beautiful and wildlife-friendly cherry plum tree at the bottom of Warwick Gardens cut down?

Hi James,


We would like to petition to get some trees/hedges planted on the goose green playground to block the noise/pollution coming from East Dulwich Road. the Goose Green playground is probably the best in the area (cf. Peckham Rye, Dulwich Park and the playground by Sainsbury's) and its a shame to think what the kids are actually breathing in.


If there is a better way to try and get this installed, please let me know.


Thanks!

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
