Hi Sunil I agree with your comments. I was actually knocked down on 22 December when crossing over at East Dulwich Grove, Lordship Lane end. I was hospitalised for 10 days, spent Christmas away from my family. My leg was broken in two places so I had a cast on until 2 nd March. I had to go back to hospital a couple of weeks after the cast was removed for an emergency scan, when I was diagnosed with a blood clot caused by the break. I now have to take blood thinning tablets for three months at least and unable to fly for same amount of months. I am walking on crutches now and not sure for how much longer. The driver was never traced as the number plates were false. This crossing is very dangerous. Councillor Barber is in contact with the council regarding this crossing and I will be contacting him regarding the outcome. There definitely needs to be traffic lights ON THIS junction to make it a safer place to cross. I was lucky, my accident could have been worse. I don't want anyone else suffering like I did. It has affected me, my husband and children. Please take extra care when crossing here, cars speed round into East Dulwich Grove to avoid lights and traffic coming from opposite direction, very unsafe. There have been a number of accidents here just recently, it certainly needs some attention.

Se22cat I am so very sorry,what a very sad story. I'm sorry your wife had to suffer so much.thinking of you both. Freda

THANK YOU! I am the person who was involved in this hit and run incident on 22nd Dec. I would like to say a very big thank you for all your concern and well wishes. I am in great pain but feel very lucky, things could have been much worse! I was in hospital from 22nd Dec until 31 Dec and missed Christmas with my son, daughters and two grandchildren, which upset me very much. Thank God I am home now and although I am fully dependent on the family things can only get better. I have multiple fractures in my right leg and a toe to thigh cast. I was thrown from the car on to my left shoulder and that side of my head so I have bad tissue/muscle damage to my shoulder, this should heal in a couple of weeks time. I have contacted Councillor James Barber as obviously after all the comments on here, this junction needs to be made safe to cross. I want to do all I can to make this happen soon, what happened to me could have happened to any one and it sounds like there have been a few lucky escapes already. This could have been a totally different outcome and I don't want anyone else going through this. I have been told there are up to four witnesses. The police had taken until Friday 2nd January to tell my husband that unfortunately they haven't made any progress in finding the driver or registration No.given to them by witnesses, the reg number seems to be incomplete/incorrect. I want to say thank you to the many people who were there at the scene, helping to keep me warm and safe until police/ ambulance and my husband arrived. Thank you. Freda Grehan.

My son and his wife are going to a wedding in Revello and are looking to stay in Positano for a week in the Spring. Has anyone been to this area with their family, could you recommend somewhere child friendly. The baby will be 18 months when they get there, so will be def running around and exploring. Thanks Freda
