Is anyone else having a power outage? We are on upland road by Goodrich

Aria has helped me out a couple of times now and has always been quick to respond and get out to sort the problem which ironically have all happened out of working hours. Such a relief to have some trustworthy in the area to sort these problems. The guys are always polite, communicate really well and are very transparent about costs so there aren?t any ugly surprises.

It takes us an hour at 7:15am to go 6 miles to green park. There might be multiple buses or choices of routes but none of them are simple and if you get held up by a minute or so the chances of the entire journey braving impacted are very high meaning what should take 30 minutes takes double half of which is spent waiting around for the next link to happen As for the parking bays on streets idea, it doesn?t sound great but the alternatives aren?t either. We live on upland road and parking is a total nightmare particularly when it comes to school pick up and drop off. Most people who have drive ways don?t actually use them and opt to park on the street instead. All in all transport and parking in ED leaves a lot to be desired.

There is a man at Royal Mail that oversees the department for these sorts of investigations. He is really nice and helpful and has called me several times regarding the fraud we experienced as a result of intercepted cards at the Peckham sorting office. I believe his name is Craig but the last time we spoke he asked me to tell any neighbours in the ED area if they faced any suspicious activity with their post. I would suggest getting in touch with him about this as it definitely does not sound right. Sadly not having problems with Royal Mail in the past absolutely does not mean they aren?t occurring now and there are it seems a lot of bad eggs being recruited somewhere along the line

Dawson?s hill I think! My fianc? saw fireworks left up there when he was walking the dog this morning

Morning, apparently O2 networks are down in the area because of a faulty phone mast. Happy days!

I sent a mega complaint to Helen Hayes the CEO of Royal Mail and the operations manager around 10 days ago. Since then I have had emails back and forth with Royal Mail and an acknowledgement from a Helen Hayes that she is collating all the complaints and raising them at a higher government level. How this hasn?t made the news yet is beyond me though. We have had fraud on our accounts because of intercepted cards, one was an American Express who are very good about fraud, the banks not so much! I?ve been at the sorting office three time this week to collect packages from supposed missed deliveries despite me both being home, having no call alerts on the ring doorbell we have and no postal note just an email to say the item couldn?t be delivered and needs to be collected. Obviously everyone is having problems but it?s really important they are all raised to both Craig and Andrew at Royal Mail and Helen Hayes so that the severity of this issue is highlighted. All I can urge you to do is keep at them and cause them such a headache that they are forced to do something

Hey everyone, We are expecting our first in April, would love to meet other local mums as I know no one here !! Hope to speak to you soon Zoe x

Also, no signs to > tell drivers of this on Upland road. Completely agree, we had a nightmare getting back into our flat yesterday afternoon after having been out for the day. They should absolutely be doing this in the school holidays not when there is already a massive traffic issue owing to school traffic and especially on upland road during school drop off and pick up the parking is dire as is

Is anyone experiencing these issues on Upland Road as well? Been nearly 2 weeks without post including a couple of recorded delivery parcels which aren't showing any tracking since they left the original location.

Thank you everyone really appreciate the comments and feedback!

Our lease says that we are permitted to keep one bin there, but this was written well before the council were requiring separate bins for separate things so I?m hoping that we can challenge it on that basis. If it continues I will be trying to find a way for their bins to have to be moved as well. There is no way I?m parking a pram and baby up on the road unattended while I move their bins back into position after collection day just so that I can access my front door. They might want to be introduced the concept of give and take. Thanks everyone! Hope you all have more civilised neighbours than we do. We had heard so much about the East Dulwich sense of community when we were looking to move here, it?s a shame to have had such an early spur experience.
