It appears from the map that you'll be covering Brenchley Gardens as part of the audit. The road surface recently has been getting really bad. Not broken up, but there seems to have been several patches of subsidence which makes a journey (by car or bike) along there a bit like a rollercoaster. On the upside though - no need for (more) speed humps >:D

As if traffic lights are a substitute for speed control! It's only a pedestrian-activated set, so if no one wants to cross...there ain't no traffic lights. So at night it's one open stretch the vast majority of the time. Hence the absurd speeds reached. Even when drivers are starting off from the lights, they still reach concerning speeds before getting to the speed cameras on Peckham Rye.


And you'll notice I didn't say I wanted speed bumps. I'm no great fan of them either. Just something to keep a lid on the speeds - changed street design, no street furniture, more street furniture, camera - I don't mind!

Hi,


I'm gutted I missed this post as I wanted to raise the concern of the traffic lights opposite Brenchly Gardens on Forest Hill Road too.


Is it against the law to beep a car horn after 11pm in a built up area?


According to the Highway Code the car horn is supposed to be used only to alert others to your presence (ie it's a warning device)


I live near the end of Marmora road and the beeping drives me nuts as I really think that 90% of these people are either using this because they are blatantly being impatient with the car in front or which is quite concerning the confusion of the green light for the buses in the filter lane to turn around and not for them to go ahead.


I have also seen near misses with buses turning around due to this confusion.


I'm not sure what the solution would benefit drivers, residents and buses but a reminder like some sort of signage to remind drivers regarding their horn tooting wouldn't go a miss.


I'd like a copy of the report too and any feedback regarding my above rant :)


Thanks

    • 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. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
