Signed. I signed because I'm a bus user. I don't own a car. Closures like this play havoc with the buses and thus penalise the most disadvantaged members of society. We should be trying to encourage more people to use public transport - this works against that.

Self confessed tree hugger who occasionally uses a car (less and less).


Lived off Herne Hill Road many moons ago and know a rat run almost off the top of my head through logiebrogie juction. My daily cycle ride for more than a decade. Also MOT my car their, so 'imagine my suprise' when I found roads blocked. I guiltily drove a few yards down a now one way street to get the arch for my MOT.


A week or so later when cycling they'd blocked off the route altogether.


Returning the other way round following the no access signs I was getting further and further towards Brixton desparately trying to find route through to Coldharbour Lane.


So next time I needed to go to the garage, I looked it all up to do my rather circuitous route to find out cars were going down the previously blocked or barred routes. Totally confused.


Right, back to being a tree hugger - it is right to make things difficult for the car driver to encourage switching to cleaner transport. Just confused what this scheme is all about as it seems to be in few people's interest - anythng to do with the new 'Oval Quartier' near Myats Fields?


Interestingly bus patonage is being hit by other traffic chaos, mainly all the works for the new cycle routes. Following TfLs inevitable cuts is everything going in the wrong direction re gettng cars off the road?

    • Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent. 
    • Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.
    • Dawson Heights again  2 lifts out of order at ladlands block Christmas Eve so of course the 🛗 will not be repaired tomorrow Christmas Day or Boxing Day or when how do elderly or mothers with children and prams and food and presents get to the floors and with the 10 minutes you get to drop off  to park and not get a Pcn fine and delivery food to relatives who can’t leave their house unbelievable Southern housing does any know email address of Coe of southern housing 
    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
