Are there any bus gates on unclassified roads (such as Underhill) in the area? -
Great condition - both FREE ! pink bed frame can also supply the mattress - has always been covered. We are a smoke free and pet free household -
Regarding classification of roads: https://www.findmystreet.co.uk/map Ryedale is unclassified and so is Underhill - so local roads 😉 Barry Road is a B, Court Lane C , DV is C and EDG A. I don’t think EDG is built to be an A road though. Calton is unclassified. Townley is C (And further afield, Honor Oak Road is a C road). classification of a C road: These are generally smaller roads intended to connect together unclassified roads with A and B roads, and often linking a housing estate or a village to the rest of the network. C-roads performs a more important function than an unclassified road. based on the above, wouldn’t it be fair to have a bus gate on Underhill, given that bus gates have been installed on C roads in the area? That would also help with reducing the traffic on Ryedale and surrounding roads? Especially around rush hour. (Wouldn’t help on weekends though). -
Solid maple boat-shaped dining table - seats 6-8. This was previously used as an office desk so has a hole in the middle for plug sockets. Top is 40mm thick solid maple, legs detach for transport. Really is a lovely statement piece and sad to see it go but it just doesn't fit in our new house. Dims: Length: 240cm Width Centre: 100cm Width Ends: 72cm Height: 75cm This is extremely heavy and will need two strong adults to manoeuvre. The top has some marks which can be removed with a light sand and oil. Any questions, please text Alice on 07904 974803 Pick up from SE22 8PZ. Thank you! -
In excellent condition, even had carrying slots so that they are easy to use when full. Collect from SE22 near Goose Green. PM if interested. They will be available on Sunday morning. - Today

do you know what's driving that? Are you suggesting that if we wait long enough the roads will just become safe? I certainly wouldn't take a young child on my route to work without the infrastructure in place now, and even then it's still a bit dicey in parts. I experience awful driver behaviour all the time. The fact that cycling is still considered an abnormal and dangerous way to get around is evidence of the fact that it's still not safe enough in a lot of places -

Congestion should be reducing as vehicular traffic has been declining in London for years and years. But at the same time you say you live on a road made busier by the interventions (Ryedale) and that road is the one where residents have had to lobby to get it turned into an LTN due to the increase in traffic, and no doubt pollution. But you still think that is a price worth paying (maybe I should ask your neighbours on Dunstan's if they feel the same way! ;-)) The notion that cycling was not safe before infrastructure is utter nonsense - I used to take routes that used plenty of back streets to wind my way to West London and it was wonderfully pleasant - granted keep your wits about you around the Battersea Park roundabout and the mini-roundabout hell on North End Road and it was a breeze. The only horrible thing was losing a pedal in a torrential downpour miles from home one night! -

The Herne Hill Forum is raising money to replace the much-loved but decrepit wooden children’s trains outside Herne Hill station. The new train benches will be made of stainless steel with seasoned oak slats to sit on. The design is based on the Lord Nelson Class engines which passed through Herne Hill Station between 1926 and 1962 and the Pullman carriages in service at the same time. The trains will be painted green, the livery colour for Southern Railway in the 20s and 30s. Youngsters peering inside the carriages will glimpse some unexpected passengers: penguins commuting to work, an owl in a flap, a ghost on its way to Halloween, a fox and his friends, a heron migrating back to the hill and a bear checking tickets have all been smuggled on board. The carriages themselves will be clad with painted wooden boards for local artists and school children to repaint when necessary. The quality of the materials and the design should ensure the trains’ longevity but also come at a price. To cover the costs, the Forum has launched a crowd funding campaign and if all goes well, the new train benches should be installed by the spring. Back the project here: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/herne-hill-train-benches (Admin, we know this is not ED but we didn't feel it was right for the Lounge so have put it here, given many ED-ers use Herne Hill. Apologies if it's in the wrong place!) -
@Rockets If the traffic on Underhill is caused by other interventions (which tbf I only know from this thread, so for now I'll assume it's the case), then frankly it's been worth it for me as the routes they open up are invaluable. I just don't think they go far enough. personally I'm not satisfied with the solution at the end of the day being no infrastructure at all. I'm glad that you were able to cycle before it was safe, but it sounded horrible and was a much less realistic option for most back then. I'm still curious as to how you think congestion is going to be reduced in London. @Spartacus this is a tiresome argument that comes up every time cycling is discussed anywhere, but I'll bite. You can still drive! If you need to get to Ryedale, or Court Lane, or any LTN, you just go the long way around. I don't understand why people act as if road closures make places completely inaccessible by car. Lots of people use the elderly and disabled as a cudgel against the mere notion that maybe too many people are driving. Need I mention all the disabled people who can't drive? And those among them who can and do cycle? @Ladharrbeinn court lane is a good cycle connection to Dulwich Park, Brockwell Park via Turney Road (and therefore Brixton, Oval etc), Champion Hill (and therefore Ruskin Park and Loughborough Junction). One closure makes for incredibly useful cycle infrastructure
-
Exactly. I had to then scale down the rest of the ingredients. It's happened twice that I know of.
-
Loving your comments, as they totally take into account those that can't cycle and may need to drive. The disabled and elderly to name a few. 🫣 But its fine as long as some able bodied can cycle! -
That's annoying not just for the small amount of pennies they are taking incorrectly, but also because if you need a precise amount of something and you are more than 10% short a recipe might not work.

OK so this is a good example of the nonsense logic of the Dulwich LTNs. East Dulwich Grove is an "A road" so fine, according to the LTN supporters, to route more traffic down it. But East Dulwich Grove is 7.6m wide at its eastern end, and the front doors of the houses are about 4.5m from the carriageway. On Court Lane, the "B road" where the multi-million pound houses have benefitted from the road closure, the road is about 9m wide and, due to there large front gardens, the front doors of the houses are at least 13m from the carriageway, many of them double that. East Dulwich Grove is also home to a health centre and large secondary school. But because the smaller road was designated with an A decades ago, that is where all the traffic should go?? It makes no sense. The unfortunate fact is that the wealthier, more vocal, more politically active residents are better organised and so pushing the scourge of traffic onto their less vociferous neighbours. -

@Moondoox you seem to be avoiding the displacement issue somewhat which clearly is the issue which has caused this problem on your road. Well, a good start would be not to put things in place that don't make it any better - or be honest about the impact the interventions are having rather than trying to bury the reality. Congestion in London is not going to be solved by cycling, in fact, there is growing evidence it is getting worse on the basis of the provision of cycle infrastructure. And I speak as a cyclist who was able to cycle across London every day without the need for dedicated cycle infrastructure! London is not Amsterdam - they are the polar opposites in terms of cities in size, scale, topology and historical development.
