Just drove past a yellow road sign which promises resurfacing works on Lordship Lane (assume nr Grove Tavern as sign is by Melford Road) 13-16 March, 9pm to 5am. We live nearby and haven't had a letter and I can't see anything obvious on roadworks register, but if this is going ahead then traffic will be bad next week in the evenings!
Panic not uncleglen - the bit of road being resurfaced is just the stretch by the parade of shops opposite the Grove Tavern. There was a water leak there recently and the patch surface is pretty bad so this is planned work following the repair. Traffic will be bad though on those nights. No getting round that.

The resurfacing is planned to take place 8am to 5pm and over night 9pm to 5am each day and night. Pity the residents there. The works are fund and paid for by TfL as it's a red route. The diversion will be along Melford Road, with all its parking suspended from 6pm to 6am each night, which will be made two -way for these works.


Please see attached letter that all residents should have received by now.

I can't work out if it's crazy or common sense to do two major bits of road works in the same area at the same time. Crazy in the sense of double the travel pain or common sense to get all the pain out the way in the shortest possible time.
The amount of pollution this morning as a result of the gridlock / idling buses etc. was unbearable. One BMW with a broken exhaust was bellowing thick black smoke out whilst it sat, not moving on LL. By the time I got to work (I walked) I felt like I had smoked several packets of fags and my eyes were stinging.

    • "attack on the tax", I posted a link, how was that an attack? I didn't write the article, so how was that an attack on the proposed tax?  Are you now saying what can and cannot be posted, when did you become Admin(NOT). 
    • Your post was an attack on the tax   I didn’t  address or mention you in my reply. Just pointed  out the problems with the article you then told be I wasn’t invited.  In no way am I bullying anyone. The reverse is true if anything 
    • The problem is, I'm not sure what the going rate is for park land for festivals of this nature. I'm sure they are paying less than outfits pay for access to the big stadia - but these have better facilities and are normally better for public transport. I am also sure that Councils could press for more, and should do so, but of course there isn't really a shortage of council lands to exploit, so these entrepreneurs could go elsewhere. What I would like to know is how much of the suggested £440,000 this year for Southwark is net profit - what are their costs in getting and administering this let? If this is a gross figure then what do they actually have as 'surplus'? But at least we have a starting point now - even if it's a guess I'm thinking it's a reasonably informed one.
    • Looks like owner of Persepolis is opening something late summer in what was The dulwich Beer Dispensary spot…  Excited about that
