ontheRye

to the lady who was looking for a photo, I have one, and I'll pm it if you contact me,I assume your thread has been taken down as being too risque for a public forum! here's an arty one from the same day

We had a letter Making a film of a car crash at the holmesdale end Cones out already along by the school as I came home this evening I guess the car holding area is mainly for the school There are yellow warning signs at each end and on side roads Best avoid if you can

Well said Peckhamrye I have helped the team on a couple of issues and have also bought some shares My glass is half full!

I think most locals regard rye lane as buses only and avoid driving on it completely, you can't use it southbound at all and only partly northbound

Renata, Can you also report that the light on Colyton rd sticks on red for several sequences, with the result that frustrated motorists give up and take their chances when the FHR lights are red I would also support the comments re the 'green man' timing,it is ridiculously short Thanks

Good news, the diseased cherry tree at bottom of Scutari cut down last week has been replaced with a new sapling, so not all bad news

also on Colyton road I asked the Gristwood and Toms team earlier in week - said taking the "frizzle" off one tree ie all the little branches now coming into bud, completely cut down one of the big plane trees by the park 'because it has a cavity, and could fall down', ditto re the cherry at bottom of Scutari 'because it was diseased' To G&T its just a job, but for us its a bit like losing an old friend

Heard they are waiting for electricity upgrade to 3 phase, so may be some time as UK PowerNetworks have a monopoly and are not known for speedy works...........and they have to coordinate ano contractor to dig a hole/trench.......lay new cable.......hook up 3 phase........disconnect old single phase...........fill in hole/trench..........make good pavement.....may well have to wait until FM Conway/tfl have finished their works at FHR/Colyton rd junction

I too reported this and the recent cash machine thread to Sainsburys website through their 'contact us' email and got the following reply, "Dear ? Thanks for your email advising us of the thefts that have been taking place outside our Dog Kennel Hill store. ? The safety of our customers and their belongings is very important to us.?

Travelling home on the 63 yesterday evening,minor miracle, the Peckham rye/east Dulwich rd junction roadworks have been completed and I could see vehicles travelling east filtering right down the rye! Only to find that the same gang have now moved onto the colyton rd/forest hill rd junction with predictable results on traffic, incl the closure of the bus stop opp the co-op on FHR. I agree with all the incredulous comments on these lights being labelled as 'temporary'. They were indeed temporary when initially installed to cope with the lorries carting away spoilage from the Thames Water tunnel, but they have long acquired a permanence and the junction seemed to be working well for both traffic and pedestrians. You really do have to question the logic and sense of this given the alternatives that this money could have been spent on, the situation at the top of FHR is crying out for something to be done, even filling in potholes would have been better! And, I suspect like all/most local residents, I am still waiting to be notified by tfl/southwark of these roadworks

Some queues later but worst is Old Kent Rd which is rammed prob due to Vauxhall closure

Renata, I can vouch for the 2 way traffic light phasing improving traffic flow as I got a 63 this morning from Dunstans rd in rush hour, and back this evening, and there were no north/south traffic queues, although east/west still looked bad The right turn filter will benefit eastbound traffic turning into FHR, mad it's taken so long to install one

I took my son & partner to T3 on Monday morning, left SE22 at 6 am, got there at 6.45, no delays etc The return journey took twice as long.....

I asked James about this in April, here is response "Hi ontheRye, Apparently junction redesign East Dulwich Road with Peckham Rye is in the hand of TfL who are pleading too busy until after the Olympics. Apparently after the olympics they'll review the workload they have and then give Southwark Council timescales. My hunch would be early 2013". My understanding is that Tfl approval is required because the junction is used by buses. As no buses turn right south onto Peckham Rye at this junction, Tfl have no incentive to agree to such a filter. It does seem crazy given the overwhelming weight of opinion. Maybe we should start a petition to Tfl?

James What is happening re the promised right filter at the East Dulwich rd/Peckham Rye junction as part of the extensive new road works in the area?

what's happening to it? taken today http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s133/gatwell/IMG_4699.jpg

Major problem is tailgating drivers travelling west on E Dulwich rd - put a junction camera in? East bound filter is a must and like many others I don't understand why it's not been actioned before now Like Fleur above, I avoid now at busy times

Sorry to hear - probably seen the yellow/white one on upland rd - very nice too have you thought about putting a post up on VW camper websites eg http://www.justkampers.com/?ph1=1 http://www.earlybay.com/ http://www.latebay.co.uk/ here's hoping they turn up
