Thanks for bumping the thread alice you moron.

To the black lady with very long hair wearing a white coat with a shoulder bag grey jogging bottoms who passed my house at 10:22 this morning kindly return the blue micro scooter with lots of elastic bands on it which you took from just outside my front gate. My child left it there by mistake, it was not left there as a giveaway so please bring it back to where you found it. Pm me if you'd like me to collect it. There is hd CCTV of the event. Thanks!

Spoke to this guy about a week ago. He was holding out what appeared to be a genuine US passport and some sort of military service ID. Says he's from new York but came to UK to start a better life. I believe him that support of ex service personell I US is limited. Has no money but does have a place to stay. He says he sometimes hangs out by the Plough. Clearly has mental health issues possibly PTSD but i didnt push the subject and am not qualified to diagnose. Difficult to know what kind of help he wanted or needed rally. Was thoroughly pessimistic about the types of help available; embassy, hostels, social services etc. Even though he was standing opposite the Salvation Army building. Was very friendly but loud, gave him 2 quid as I didn't have the "couple of bucks he was asking for

hi,, im going to Latitude next week (along with half of ED I expect!!) and am happy to test your app. One question, if you're in beta, how come you're charging a quid?

I presume you know about the 'urban orchard' on melbourne grove. Not sure how rare they are but they are about 6 trees of different varieties.

We used Gary at [email protected] he was quick and efficient. He has a mole but ended up digging a short trench as we don't have fancy tiles. Cost about 550.

I was on that service this morning. Just about resisted the urges to firstly cheer when the train arrived then laugh out loud at the brakes issue at South Bermondsey. Enjoyed a stroll through the new concourse to jubilee line. A fair distance but about as direct as it can be from plat 15 and under cover. Feeling (hoping & praying) we've turned a corner but still feel EDers are owed some freebies having suffered for years. The strike in Wednesday and Thursday is still on although southern claim our revived service will be unaffected. Optimistic to the last.

There's some useful info here http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/family/charity-fundraising-sites Maximising your donations depends on the site you register with and of course you should register for gift aid if you haven't already. BT MyDonate seems the most cost effective for charities hoping for small regular donations.

The 8:02 does run but turns round at south Bermondsey. It's sparsely populated and has air con! However you need to change at Peckham rye or queens road for the overground and then again at Canada water for jubilee if you want get to canary wharf or back to London bridge and the west end. The overcrowding at Canada water (single escalator down to jubilee) is getting really bad.

Hi. Sorry I missed the quiz but is there an easy way to make a regular donation. A fiver a month is a couple of lattes and the regular injection might be more useful? Ps. Not affiliated to dkhap in any way

I am supportive of the school scheme, it's about time. However, as a resident of one of the neighbouring streets, I have concerns around traffic and parking. There are a multitude of docs on the application but the traffic assessments make interesting reading. 140 staff and just 23 parking spaces on-site. Southwark Planning support this minimal provision. The traffic statement concludes that the overspill can be accommodated in neighbouring streets. Not realistic. When the school roll is at full capacity the assessment reckons that of the 1680 students around 30 will be driven to school. There is no pick up drop off facility in the design. Up until 2022 the main pedestrian entrance will be on Jarvis road, over 1000 students and staff using this entrance, not the main entrance on east dulwich grove. There are a group of residents based in Melbourne Grove who will be seeking better engagement and consultation on these plans. Pm me if you would like to be kept in the loop. It would be great if the aspirations of the sustainable travel policy are realised but with southern providing practically no service during rush hour and bus routes needing to be changed and extended, this seems unlikely in the near future.

Moved my post to the school thread.

Seems to me that southern are trying to dodge compensation claims by reducing the service. Hope everyone signed that petition, although we all know how far they go. Here's the revised timetable details: http://www.southernrailway.com/your-journey/revised-timetable#impact6 Highlights for ED commuters are: 1.No more services between Beckenham Junction and London Bridge - none. 2. Peak train options from ED to LB are 6:55, 7:30, 8:02 and 8:30 - that's it. 3. peak train options from LB to ED are 16:40, 17:11 and 18:08

Isn't the top and bottom of a road about numbering? Lowest number is at the bottom, where the roundabout is.

The epetition captures the country of origin and mp where a postcode is provided. You can download the data and see. This is what they mean by 'fraudulent', it hasn't been hacked. I don't think it says anywhere that it's for uk residents only and it doesn't block overseas IP addresses (presumably because we have residents overseas). These people probably think they are helping.

I signed this in protest but it won't lead to a 2nd referendum. I'm so sick of hearing about 'Britain's decision' and don't want the >14m who voted Remain to be forgotten when article 50 negotiations begin. There's a slim chance we won't find someone with the balls to invoke it or that our MPs won't pass the necessary bill I suppose. Fundamentally I think we need to respect the outcome and accept there's a huge disconnect between london, m4 corridor and the rest of the country. 17m can't all be thick and there seem to various reasons why they voted leave; many will believe they did the right thing for democracy and sovereignty but many are misguided, misinformed and some downright dispicable.

After it came back up after they fixed it our wifi was up and down like a w****s drawers. I found I had to monkey around with the channels for 2g and 5g network. Now ok. But I imagine you're connecting with a cable KK

http://m.nationalrail.co.uk/pj/ldbboard/dep/EDW A handy link for checking live trains times from ED. Sign the petition. southern are a joke

Signed. Terrible service for ages\years. I have also read that southern have no slack in their staffing capacity and have not hired and trained enough staff over the years. No doubt they are culpable. However the unions are just punishing commuters and living in the past. Cannot stand their bullying tactics. The work at London bridge has also had a much bigger impact that anyone admitted particularly for services arriving at platform 15. Fewer trains run than before the works started with regular disruption. Network Rail and Southern should be ashamed and the compensation policy is totally inadequate.

Heres the report on full (thank you James) https://www.dropbox.com/s/04wcka9cby4w23h/C0277%20Melbourne%20Grove%20Safety%20Review%20Rev%20B.PDF?dl=0 Conclusions and recommendations copied verbatim: 9 Conclusions 9.1 The results of the collision analysis and traffic surveys revealed that there are currently no major safety concerns along Melbourne Grove (South) with the exception of the Ashbourne Grove junction where all three collisions at this location involved a motorcyclist being struck by a vehicle emerging from the side road. 9.2 During the site visit a number of issues were identified mainly relating to obstructed visibility at junctions along the route as a result of the lack of parking restrictions, and poor conditions for pedestrians at specific locations. The effectiveness of the speed cushions was also questioned following observations of vehicles straddling the cushions resulting in limited speed reduction. 9.3 It is likely that the two developments at either end of Melbourne Grove (South) which comprise a secondary school and a primary school will lead to an increase in the number of pedestrians and cyclists using Melbourne Grove (South) at school start and finish times. The new developments are also likely to increase parking demand and traffic volume along Melbourne Grove (South). 9.4 The proposed extension of Bus Route No 42 is likely to have little impact on Melbourne Grove (South) other than a potentially small increase in the number of pedestrians using the route to access the bus stops on East Dulwich Grove. 9.5 Introduction of a new Controlled Parking Zone and associated parking restrictions in the area to the northwest of Melbourne Grove (South) is also likely to have little impact on the southern section of Melbourne Grove as the distance between these two sites is far enough that drivers are unlikely to park in Melbourne Grove (South) in order to access parts of North Dulwich. 13 Recommendation 13.1 This safety review has concluded that Melbourne Grove (South) is comparable to other residential streets in Southwark in terms of traffic speed, traffic flow and parking demand. It is recommended that improving visibility at the junctions along the route should be prioritised to improve safety, and improving footway conditions for pedestrians is also implemented. Southwark has already begun a Borough-wide programme to install double yellow lines for a distance of 7m around every junction and therefore Melbourne Grove (South) and its side roads will be treated as part of these works. The cost of constructing all the above measures (Option A) is estimated to be ?19,700. Given the sensitivities around removing trees, it is recommended that an arboricultural survey is conducted of the trees identified in Plan 5, and dependent on the results of this survey, a decision is then made on whether to remove them. 13.2 Although the speed surveys showed that the average speed of traffic along Melbourne Grove (South) was not excessive, the replacement of the speed cushions with sinusoidal humps (Option B) should be considered to target the minority of drivers who do exceed the speed limit by straddling the speed cushions and compromising the safety of vulnerable road users. The installation of humps may also discourage drivers from using the route as a rat-run. 13.3 The impact of the two new educational developments at either end of Melbourne Grove (South) should be carefully considered and steps taken where possible to mitigate potential issues arising from the opening of these sites which might affect the safety and environment of Melbourne Grove (South). I also noted that 1680 students and 180 staff are expected at the new Charter school with barely any parking provision on site. Seems quite comprehensive (should be for 10 grand). Rch, I'm also apalled that chopping trees down is a possible recommendation. It would be a real shame if the result of MGTAG is more double yellows, full width humps and removal of trees. A bit ironic if the allocation of CGS funding indirectly results in chopping trees down too.

Hi James Could it be these works now scheduled for 23/05? No details on the register but comments suggest it's major ie. Road closure. ...here's the link http://streetworks.southwark.gov.uk/details.asp?ref=LBS-SC1455877&org_code=

Thanks for posting this James. Had received no notice thus far.
