I live near the no through end of hinckley road, by the goose green playground.

At least 20 times a day moped riders are jumping the 'dead end' between Hinckley Road and East Dulwich Road by mounting the pavement and riding along the footpath past the playground.


Here's where I mean


I so dont want to turn into Victor Meldrew, but it's driving us mad.


Not only to have bikes constantly clonking up and down the pavement and buzzing past our window.

But more importantly that it's plain dangerous - it's a 'blind' corner, and children are often walking along there.


Where do I take this? The police? The council?

In the evenings it's mostly pizza bikes, but when calling Pizza Hut and Dominos hasn't changed anything.

And there are plenty of 'private' scooters doing it too.


"I don't believe it!"

OMG thank you for posting this. I have heard this myself around the Gardens and it's driving me insane. I think it's the same buggers that are doing this. They are often out pretty late as well whizzing past over and over again.


I'd love to know what I can do too about this.

This may be over the top but just as an idea. Could you take photos of any mopeds that belong to the big companies, send them to the head offices, say that you've had no response from the local branches and that if an accident occurs you'll be quick to tell the press?

Photos/ video are a good idea (but don't put yourself at risk). I would suggest reporting the problem to the SNT and the local Community Wardens Officer too. Both can target offenders who are obviously not allowed to ride along public footpaths and issue fines.


In the case of delivery riders for companies. Send the photos with the evidence of which company is using the footpath to the licensing office. The best way to force these companies to take the complaints seriously is to threaten them with loss of their operating license and the council can do that if they have enough evidence.

    • Farage has done nothing but divide and diminish this country, all in the name of his ego and his bank balance. Brexit has made us poorer and has damaged our influence in the world. He supported Trump who is directly threatening our interests and he supported Liz Truss' disastrous budget. He has done his best to ensure our country's decline and now people too proud to admit their mistakes and the deleterious impact of UKIP / The Brexit party / Reform Ltd are again voting for him to finish the job / nail down the coffin lid. Yes, he is a plastic patriot.
    • You clearly don’t know Peckham Rye station there are lifts but they’re not available to the public. Actually, they were made available when the art exhibition was on.  Priorites again. 
    • I'm not going to claim 2 old men arguing on line ISN't boring - but it's on a thread about the viability of(or otherwise) of Reform winning power in this country. If they do take power, it will because people like jazzer get away with making claims like they do without challenge I'm challenging him, and like most reform voters, he starts crying I'm twisting his words? do YOU think I'm twisting his words? if so, how? Because it's important if Reform do win power it won't be boring, it will be very bad for the country and I will know who to blame
    • I think it's a false dichotomy. Lift maintenance is a priority and I doubt the delays in fixing them is to do with lack of funding. Whether they go ahead with this scheme of not, will make zero difference to how lift maintenance is being managed. There seems to be general opposition to any form of change across this forum.
