what have they done! Court lane was closed for maybe 6-8 weeks and reopened a few weeks ago. The pavement on the north side of court lane, at the junction of lordship lane, has been drastically widened i.e. the road has been narrowed. so now if you want to turn left, you have to queue behind all the cars that want to turn right! Lordship lane is busy so the queue can get quite long to get onto LL. Before these changes i could turn left nice and quickly. Ahhhhh is there an abundance of pedestrians who need to wait on this extra pavement to cross the road to the park. whenever i have walked to the park (which is quite often) I did not feel that there was a lack of pavement. was this a necessary spend? the roads in so many areas of ED have pot holes and court lane has been redone approximately 3 times in the last 6 months!


Rant over!....for now

Some of the changes were deemed necessary for safety and I am glad that they have been effective. I still don't understand why the north side of the pavement was widened. It is a really very generous walkway now; could probably take 10 or more buggies or wheelchairs. The pavement is quite narrow on the east side of LL (between barry road and Mount Adon)and often requires darting into single file, the west side is better but I don't know why this pavement needed to encroach into the road with subsequent queuing to get out of court lane if you want to turn left down to ED.



anyway it is done now...


whilst i am at it...the new speed bumps on red post hill are so wide and hard...I can't take this anymore!


i started to take the bus to work but my journey is 30 minutes longer and costs more that running my car so I have abandoned this. maybe i should dust off the bike for my commute and pray for safe journeys.

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
