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

    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
