Yes that's the one,althogh I hadn't considered the benefit in that way before. My previous house was by the junction that Joanna Reyes was killed by a car mounting the island so guess its always resonated as dangerous. If they could just put a crossing by the Grove we'd all be much better!!

Hi James, The railings have been removed from the island crossing by the South Circular just by Highwood Close. They've been missing over 4 weeks now. Can you find out why and if there's plans to replace them. Due in part to the ridiculous situation with no crossing at the old Grove pub, this crossing ends up being rather busy. Lots of parents with children and pushchairs. Also popular with many blind accessing Bradbury Oak House. Really could do with the railings back ASAP thanks Edward

Thanks James. Hopefully it'll be more like two years! Either way, it will provide significant improvement to safety. Scary watching some parents with their children trying to cross......

Hi James. How likely do you think this will be? I've been pressing Helen Hayes on the issue as its crazy that there's no pedestrian crossing here. She recently intimated that TFL were close to sorting one out. thanks

Hi I live in the Highwood close estate right by where the bust stop used to be. As far as I know its pretty much as Applespider stated. Speeding driver lost control. Really lucky no one was waiting at the stop....The sound of the smash was unbelievable, woke up the whole estate! That stretch of the road is really dangerous. So many speeding cars that aren't expecting a build up of traffic from the large number of lane changes ahead (due to road splitting to East Dulwich or Dulwich Park) or the lights from the pedestrian crossing. Ive been asking the MP to try and make it safer (perhaps a speed camera) but to no avail so far......
