There are also really bad pitted holes further up near the school and hospital - mainly in the areas cyclists use near the pavement. I have no idea why the pavement and road surfaces of this road used by so many children walking and cycling to school is so poorly served by whoever is responsible for maintenance. A note to all the people driving up to the barrier and forced to do a u-ey, when there are 4 x road closed signs….. maybe the road is closed. Doh!

I’m enjoying the ED Grove LTN, lovely to cycle and walk in, may it stay closed permanently 😆. When Thames thieving Water finally complete the urgent works (hole in the road and no work going on all today), take care if on a bike or motorbike as the flooding has caused very dangerous potholes.

Election tactical voting in East Dulwich
heartblock replied to Sue's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Green, because I agree with their policies … see easy isn’t it. -
We do not go there anymore, it used to be a pleasant experience, but now shoppers are made to feel like criminals and the prices are not great. The till receipt gates to stop us nicking stuff do not work half the time - I would rather shop somewhere that makes me feel welcome. We also want to support our local independents, so we are trying to eat cheaper using less costly ingredients and buy local - it's a good way for us also to lose some weight! Veg and pulses.....and less booze 😞

Both services are in the same building, but they refuse to communicate, so if there isn't a free GP, they tell you to call 111 to be able to see the SELDOC. For me I knew what I had, I knew the prescription I needed - a GP would have been able to sort it out in a matter of a minute or less. Instead they advised me to go to King's A&E. The idea was that TJ was supposed to be a community service - providing local amenities so we did not need to go to A&E and sit there for 14 hrs just for a prescription for antibiotics. It should have all been an in-house, non-profit service with seamless connections, GPs, physios, nurse-led clinics, pharmacist-led clinics and diagnostics on-site - we were even promised a minors and minor surgery. A wasted opportunity and now a service not fit for purpose.

I think he is aligned with the left, but has allowed his own career to get in the way of what are supposedly his fundamental beliefs. I don't trust any 'politician' who changes their commentary to advance their own career, I can see why he has taken this journey, I like the person, but not someone I would vote for now.

Inconsiderate parking outside local schools
heartblock replied to malumbu's topic in Roads & Transport
Happens every school day on East Dulwich Grove, along with some exceedingly dangerous U turns and of course adding to the school run traffic chaos. Unfortunately it is private school traffic, so huge SUVs, not local traffic and the drivers tend to be very, very entitled. My solution, take all private schools into public ownership and kids go to schools local to them so they can walk/cycle. -
If it looks like a troll, sounds like a troll and smells like a troll.....it’s a troll. If ignored they eventually go back to their little troll cave.

Southwark Council crowdfunding for green projects
heartblock replied to Sue's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I walk down East Dulwich Grove and see messy, littered and unsafe pavements, holes in the road and blocked drains that cause huge puddles when it rains - making it unsafe for cyclists and an unpleasant walk when cars go through the puddles, litter and waste not cleared for days - Southwark really needs to sort out the basics so we can live in safe and clean areas. I say this as a Green Party member - all for environmental and green policy, but priorities please! -
I have copied this from the other post about TJ.. make sure you complain to the correct organisation as there have been recent changes in NHS England. If anyone wants to complain about GP services, the newly set up South East London ICS (transferring from the old CCG) is the place to go - they commission local services (so they are the ones paying the s**t show company for the terrible GP 'service' at Tessa Jowell) You can make a complaint verbally, in writing or by email. If you wish to complain about a hospital, community or mental health provider please contact those directly. If you have any comment or complaint regarding the commissioning of a service please contact the Patient Experience Team at: Email: [email protected] Tel: 0800 328 9712 or 0208 176 5337 https://www.selondonics.org Andrew Bland is the CEO... there is a whole website dedicated on how to complain by going straight to the CEO, I have used this tactic before with excellent results, takes a bit of time and one needs to write a very polite and professional letter in order to have impact.
