The issue, allegedly, is that the architects and developers have changed their minds a million times about details of the build and hence it has dragged on. Some of the utilities also have to now dig up the path to get the homes hooked up to stuff. It is pretty disgraceful though and reflects the way developers just use public footpaths and roads as they please for storage, even when there is often enough room to store materials on site...as in this case.


I also wonder how the heck Southwark and planning have let them get away with this? Also no-one on site today (Sunday). You'd think the developer would be obliged to have people working as many hours as legally possible. I dread to think the impact all this had had on the poor shop owners.

There could be a multitude of different reasons for delays. Talking to someone on site is not a reliable way to get the full facts.


Unless one talks to the principals at the contractors, structural engineers, developers,architects, financiers and planning then one can speculate all day long.

I've just checked back and reminded myself how long this has been going on for... (I had a ranty email conversation with the developers nearly a year ago and included James Barber in that - and it had been going on forever by then already). It really is beyond...


I wonder what could be done to force some resolution to this?

James Barber's responded to the question on his thread about this and has said that he'll follow up with Council officers...


I've had a reply from the developers to the email I sent at the weekend asking when it will end. I've posted that on James' thread here: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,336529,1741508,page=168#msg-1741508. Not sure I'm very confident we'll have the path back by Christmas...

    • DR Yes he had not been very well for about the last 2 or 3 years but was making some progress, we use to see him down LL getting his shopping and stop and catch up on all matters Ed. I Pm'd just before Christmas and received no reply which was not like him so I did have concerns about his health but I had no other means of contacting him. R.i.P Foxy Bob S 
    • So, private polling for Labour in London puts Labour and the Lib Dems with the same number of seats on Southwark Council come May. It’s not clear from this Guardian article (link below) if that will be all due to Labour losses or if the Lib Dems will actually make some gains in Southwark. Either way, the Greens are set for a massive surge in seats across London, if the polling is correct.

    • I shouted at someone who pushed by me on the tube last week, as they got off I said your could least say "excuse me". Somebody told me "they did".  Whoops, humble pie. I have no idea whether the original poster overreacted. I have done far too many times, and try (or should try harder) to learn from this, and do regret not handling things better/calmer.  I expect most of have similar 'guilty' secrets. There's a separate thread on why, being British, we apologise when it is not our fault, or when we simply want to get past someone.  Excuse me (and/or thank you when they move out of your way) is appropriate.  Even people who you wouldn't fancy meeting on a dark alley do this.  And I apologise for being so judgmental, I couldn't find the right words.   (if you remember this ad you may be considered by some to be old)  
    • Leon came to do a full electrical check and sort out some problem lights yesterday. He came on time, was very polite and friendly and was a pleasure to do business with. He didn’t laugh at me when one of the problems was very badly designed lights (even if they look great) where the bulbs needed to be changed. He’ll probably get years of repeat business from these lights. His rates are very reasonable and I don’t hesitate to recommend him. p.s I found him on this forum but have only just joined, specifically to leave Leon a review.
