Personally, I'm all for a pub which has a kid-free area - and, no, I'm not talking goats. Yeh, yeh - maybe I'm a freak but I do relish the idea of at least some space to enjoy a decent beer without the background wail of other people's offspring.


Yeh, yeh - I confess to double-freakness cause I find the absence of a big screen showing sport a huge plus.

Just seen these posts. What the people behind the renovation of the Wishing Well are not saying publicly is the changes to the licensing hours that they have applied for. The licence application - http://licensing.southwarksites.com/LicPremisesAppliedDetails.asp?systemkey=831545 - includes the extension of opening hours to 1.30am on Saturday and Sunday mornings, and up to half past midnight during the week. Lordship Lane we are not, and don't want to be, and the problem for Bellenden area residents will be the drunken people on our streets in the wee small hours. We have until 30th March to object - go to Licensing Southwark and look for a download on how to lodge an objection.

As a local resident I'm in two minds about this actually. The Gowlett also has late opening hours - and I don't think the local area has suffered as a result. Coming back after a night out, we often quite fancy a nightcap, yet can't face Lordship Lane. It all depends on the kind of atmosphere the pub creates, surely?

I really don't see the Lordship Lane Friday night mentality transferring to Bellenden Road - there just isn't enough footfall and those out on the lash will always prefer a street where they can bar-hop.

I can't wait for the Victoria to open and don't see any problems for the residents of Bellenden Road of which I am one, since it will be the only bar in the area and the drunken Lordship Lane element like to bar hop. Good luck Scott.

      Latest One Dulwich update

      By Rockets · Posted

      Because the council responsible for it is far-left....   And you haven't answered whether it is worth diverting emergency vehicles because a few cars drive through the LTN and why some lobby groups have been so desperate to close it to emergency vehicles.    Emergency services hate non-permeable junctions as they lengthen response times....f you remember it's why the council had to redesign the DV junction because emergency services kept telling them they needed to be able to drive through it...but the council resisted and resisted until they finally relented because the emergency services said their LTN had increased response times....sorry if the truth gets in the way of a good story but those are facts. The council was putting lives at risk because they refused to open the junction to emergency services. Why? What could have been the motivation for that? So, in fact, it was the emergency services who forced the council (kicking and screaming) to remove the permanent barriers and allow emergency services access. So the council finally opened the junction to emergency services and is now coming back to re-close part of the junction.  Why?  Perhaps you should be asking who is lobbying the council to close the junction or parts of it or why the council is happy to waste so much of our money on it - who are they representing as even their own consultation demonstrated they did not have support from the local community for the measures? The results showed the majority of local residents were against the measure...but they are going ahead with them anyway.   In time, I am sure the truth will come to light and those rewponsbile will be held accountable but you have to admit there is something very unusual going on with that junction - its the very definition of a (very expensive) white elephant.
