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

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate.
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
