Imaginary pedestrians. What an extraordinary comment! That is just how I feel when I try to cross the road at Dulwich Common. Roads are for everybody pedestrians, cyclists and not just motor vehicles. It is time we redressed this balance.

I find it very difficult to believe that a plane flying at nearly 7 miles high would sound like this. Not all planes appear on Flight Radar as far as I am aware.

I understand why the P13 would have problems with The Tulse Hill railway bridge if it was a double decker but I don't think the P4 would suffer from a similar problem.

Is there a reason why both of these routes are operated with single decker buses? I presume that it is normally because they go under low bridges but I can't think of anywhere on the routes that this applies. The greater capacity of double deckers would certainly help.

So if councillors and MPs can make no progress, To whom is TFL responsible?

It is a very sad indictment of the state that we are in that pedestrians and cyclists are unable to cross the road from one side of Lordship Lane to the other at The Grove Tavern because of the inadequacy of the crossing facilities. Crossing going Northwards towards East Dulwich, is particularly frightening as the view of traffic coming down The South Circular and turning left at Dulwich Common is effectively blind. How long do we have to wait for TFL and Southwark to sort this out? They made the situation even worse this Summer by removing the Advanced Cycle Lane Box that used to be there when the road was resurfaced.

The interesting thing about the church is that it is Grade II listed. It was constructed between 1873 and 1875 and the Tower built later in 1885. It was designed by Charles Barry Jnr. What intrigued me was the new external windows which appear to be made of clear perspex. They have been cut to the Gothic shape of the windows frames.

Yes it was released as surplus to requirements by the Church of England a number of years ago and is now occupied by the Deeper Life Bible Church. The war memorial that you mention is on the site but not part of the church.

No vicar I am afraid as the church now belongs to The Deeper Life Bible Church.

Does anybody know what is happening to the building at St Peter's Church at Dulwich Common? They seem to have had some quite elaborate clear perspex covers installed over all of the windows and quite extensive scaffolding to the rear visible from Cox's Walk. It is an attractive Victorian building and good to see that work is being carried out but I am curious about what is happening. There are no planning notices posted so that doesn't help.

James. Do you have any idea about what is happening about the replacement of the Advanced Cycle Lane and Box on the South Circular at The Grove Tavern which was removed when the road was resurfaced? In late June you and Caroline Pigeon were assured by TFL that it would be replaced by early July.

James. I am sorry to have to raise this again but another month has gone by since the promise was madeto you to reinstate the Advanced Cycle Lane Box by early July. It is certainly no longer early July and nothing has happened. Yet another promise has been broken by TFL! Would you and Caroline Pigeon mind chasing this yet again? It is disgraceful that you should need to have to do this but we all appear to be being treated with contempt by TFL.

Wonderful news James. Well done. Common sense at last!

Thank you James. Dealing with TFL seems to be like swimming in treacle.
