All Activity

I live in a large residential development (122 apartments). Our management company has decided to redecorate the interior common spaces (6 sub-blocks with their own entrance, stairwell, and hallways). Residents have been invited to nominate suitable contractors to be included within the tendering process. We'd really like local companies to submit a tender. If you are interested, please submit your details by 13 February and I will pass them on to KFH, who is managing the tender process.

Page 36 shows impact of traffic flow on Underhill (increase 6% to Sep 21). Southwark didn’t initially measure traffic here but did do so in the last two traffic measurement exercises in the area following feedback from residents. It was busy before LTN too - traffic count is on page 36 as well. I would have to disagree with Malumbu regarding Underhill not being busy. The report further states that traffic overall across Southwark had reduced compared to pre Covid levels (for example by 12% comparing march 2019 with march 2021 so an increase in Underhill is contrary to this). https://services.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/77423/Main-monitoring-report_Dulwich-Streetspace_Sept-2021.pdf I think the problem is not helped by Sat nav’s routing traffic down Underhill to avoid the traffic lights by the junction Lordship Lane/ south circular (and they do route traffic down Ryedale too) Here is another report with some references to traffic at Underhill pre Covid (page 8 https://services.southwark.gov./assets/attach/10604/What-You-Told-Us.pdf And this one states further monitoring will be carried out (not sure if it ever was) - see last page https://services.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/77420/Infographic-report_Dulwich-Streetspace_Sept-2021.pdf

@ianr maybe the better question you should be asking is why the council did no monitoring of Underhill despite it being a clear displacement route. They monitored the majority of others. Lots of people asked around the time of the LTNs why nothing on Underhill and if I remember rightly Maggie Browning said there were plans to but they never materialised. It was so clear to everyone who lived around there what was happening.

Who made the request and when?

Not everyone is delighted. This campaign was launched without any consultation with people in Croxted Road, or those wanting to travel there eg to the two schools and two nurseries. An initial assertion that the 201 would be “no loss to the residents of Croxted Road” was entirely untrue and unfounded — consequently many people will have signed the petition not realising that their support was based on misleading information. If you fall into that category please consider asking the campaigners to remove your signature from the petition. Residents of Croxted are vehement in their objections to this proposed re-route and their representatives made contact with the petitioners. That particular assertion was subsequently removed but other inaccuracies remain, including suggestions that the no 201 “duplicates” the no 3, whereas they are quite distinct routes. The 201 is very much valued in its current form. Fair enough to campaign for a better bus service - but why at the expense of a neighbouring community?

You've posted on a PUBLIC forum, you can't really dictate how folks respond, however unhelpfully!

Hi, need an initial quote with possible further work coming up. Thank you, Vee Nunhead Lane

It is indeed for lessons - young people start to come in around 8. I swear there used to be a 7 and an 8. Now it’s just 7, there’s no spreading out over the two hours.
