According to the Southwark website, if a school doesn't appear on their list then it will be open. However nothing is guaranteed in the current conditions.

363 was diverted between Peckham Rye and Lordship Lane Wood Vale stop not serving Forest Hill Rd, Wood Vale or Underhill Road.


197 only running between Dulwich Library and Croydon, not serving Barry Road to Peckham, although that might have changed now the 12 is running down Barry Rd.

Ivydale School was closed today (Thursday), but it is not mentioned on the Southwark Council Website, so don't believe all you read! No idea whether it will be open tomorrow.


Nunhead Side of Peckham Rye is fine, but the minute you turn off onto the side roads (Stuart Road, Borland Road etc.) it is like an ice rink.

How are the roads today? I need to decide whether to take my daughter to nursery. Would need to get from Forrest Hill road area to Denmark Hill area. Too dangerous or fine? Also bit frustrated that Heber is closed again. My son is obviously thrilled...groan. Does anyone know why? With public transport up and running so staff can come in, is it about the safety of the roads/pavements surrounding the school?

Both the schools that my children go to have said that not having enough grit to keep their pathways safe is a major reason for closure. They have already used up the stocks they had and have more grit on order. But here lies the problem; the councils are prioritising new deliveries of grit to go to hospitals and major roads first, then to schools.

Heber is quite likely to be closed for the same reason as Goodrich, that is a lack of grit. Goodrich ran out of grit yesterday and any new supplies from Southwark are being prioritised for hospitals and roads. It is the need to keep external steps, paths and playgrounds ice free thats causing this current closure.


The staff did a great job yesterday at getting into school and enabling it stay open, so although today is frustrating its just one of those health and safety issues that no-one can get around.

A lack of grit? A lack of common sense and elbow grease more like. Goodrich is closed, despite there being grit in the big yellow bin outside it, and despite the pavements being clear around its perimeters. (It could have a lot to do with the fact that it is a Friday.) The head teachers at Goodrich and Heber should question their reasons for closing their schools and ask themselves whether a few bags of salt, cat litter and a bit of improvised savvy could have kept them open. Children there are being taught that when it's below freezing for a few days, you just stay at home and hope that someone else deals with the 'problem'. The kids would have enjoyed learning about problem solving and working together, I'd've thought, and I am pretty sure there is a national curriculum box that could have been ticked by doing so.

And again, please keep this thread to useful information, not discussion. Some discussion posts have been removed, apologies to those affected but if a discussion starts then it makes this thread harder to use for those who require facts.
last 3 days been travelling to and back from Canary Wharf no problem. Got 185 to Lewisham then DLR. Fantastic and takes under an hour. Have avoided London Bridge as get alerts from the trains and knew it would be up the spout so to speak.
I believe the tailback was due to Southern Gas works. They were due to finish today but have found gas is still leaking into the electricity ducts. Clearly electricity and gas are not a good mix so they'll keep digging holes until they fix the leaks.

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.            
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
