@edhistory - not sure? I've just been getting increasingly frustrated by the growing barricades which appear to be being put up to stop those of us to the east of Crystal Palace Road getting through to Lordship Lane. And the impact on the Upland Road businesses from months of obstruction doesn't seem to be something that troubles Southwark very much either...
It's really dangerous today. A neighbour has photographed it and reported to Southwark. I pointed it out to a passing police officer as well. Thank you for your concern for the shops. I think all the Upland Road shops have noticed a drop in footfall since the beginning of the building works.
Last week there were builder vans (2 or 3) on the footpath plus a delivery of bricks. Very dangerous for pedestrians. The footpaths are very steadily being destroyed - will the developers be charged for this? I certainly hope so they're going to make a killing out of these properties.
I agree with you Rob - Its a terrible set up and extremely dangerous for the public and road users and the hoarding they have up is ridiculously dangerous in itself, just about holding itself up. What council pillock allowed this application to go through?!!
This is being very poorly managed and is really dangerous, especially for vulnerable road users. I've reported to Southwark twice now. This morning there was a flat bed parked on Crystal Palace Rd, right on the corner with Upland Rd, completely blocking sight lines. This is absurd, especially during busy times.

I think that Cosmur (the developers of the Old Police Station site) are: http://www.cosmur.co.uk/who-we-are/ (see logo at bottom of page).


It'd be good if our local Councillors could pick this up. It seemed crazy when the north side pavement was originally blocked for what will eventually be over a year once it's finally opened again, but now it's incredibly dangerous.

The developes are treating this junction as an extension of their property. These big developers are clearly too powerful, Councillors seem too scared to take them on or be publicly critical and I am not sure the Council care- after all who knows what goes on behind closed doors.


This development is not being properly monitored, if it was how could pictures like this emerge and no action taken? Imagine if ordinary residents took over the public streets and paths and blocked them for months on end?

What with the building works on the other side of the road now - WTF! Where are pedestrians supposed to walk. Southwark Council must be cashing in on this - its an accident waiting to happen! whenever I walk past either of these sites most of the workman are sitting down doing sweet FA anyway, in their trucks illegally parked blaring out shite music - who ever is employing them is a fool - too!
Council Officers are happy - as per emails I've received. And will not make the old Police station builders there release the road or pavement. I've raised my complaint to the next stage to try and get some sense into this dangerous and damaging situation.

James,


Thank you for pursuing this. There really is danger of setting a precedent as other building companies are likley to follow the example of Cosmur and see that they get away with using the street as a building site extension, with no fear of consequences. The dangers to all road and path users are clear.

    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s.
