Turning right from East Dulwich Road onto Forest Hill Rd

This junction is a madness. Why oh why do we not have a right filter, rather than asking everyone to commit the kamikaze manouvers needed to turn right?


If enough people feel the same, (which they must do?) maybe we could raise a petition and get them to spend our council tax on something useful for once?

I agree Bruce, it's pretty hazardous.


For a while there used to be a car ambulance parked up on the corner of the Rye - I wasn't sure whether it was there as a deterrent or because there are regular accidents on the junction or both.


There's no right filter to turn South on to Peckham Rye (which turns in to Forest Hill Road by the Herne Tavern/Dunstans Road as far as I know) so you often find people at the front of the queue turning right in front of oncoming traffic just as the lights turn green.


I'd be more than happy to put my name on the petition.


I'd also like to petition for better speed restriction on Peckham Rye, especially around the juntion with Dunstans Road. People drive like complete maniacs. I wonder how many of them are parents.


Also, why is there no barrier or fence at the bottom of the downhill path coming out of Peckham Rye Park on to Peckham Rye Park opposite the Herne Tavern? It's madness - the amount of children who go hurtling down the path on foot or on bikes and there's nothing to stop them going straight on to the busy road which people drive way too fast on.

Start on online petition here: http://www.gopetition.co.uk/howtowriteapetition.php


Also see my (very long) post in the forum "Lordship Lane Gossip" regarding attending Community Council meetings. This is where all this planning stuff gets decided.

Sadly there was a fatal accident at this junction yesterday evening.


According to this story in thisislondon.co.uk


A 12-year-old girl was knocked down and killed by a bus on a busy street in front of horrified onlookers. Blessing Olayiwola, who was struck by the single decker, died instantly.


The schoolgirl was hit by the Number 12 bus on Peckham Rye, at the junction with East Dulwich Road, just after 7pm yesterday.

      Working from home - pros and cons

      By Sue · Posted

      I also recently waited 30 minutes to speak to someone at HMRC. First of all, they had indicated the wait time from the outset. Secondly, it is a very busy time for them,  with  the 31 January deadline looming. Thirdly, I might be confusing them with some other organisation, but I think they gave other options including for them to phone you back if you didn't want to hang on. Anyway, my main point is that I don't know whether the person I spoke to was working from home or not, but there was no background noise, she was incredibly sympathetic and helpful, and to my utter disbelief she extended the deadline for me to the end of March 😮  The reason was that I couldn't do my online return due to  my laptop meltdown, and had been told repair could take up to 28 working days. She thought that a deadline of the end of February might not be long enough  I was fully expecting to be told that it was my own fault for not getting the return in before. So credit where credit's due, basically. I've previously found HMRC staff very helpful in patiently  explaining in simple language stuff in the rules which I couldn't understand. As for working from home, I'm long retired from working for others, but I have both on occasion worked well into the night/over weekends to meet critical project deadlines,  and also on occasion skived. But in the first job I was being paid a lot, and in the second job I wasn't 🤣

      Loud Bass Dovedale Road

      By Sue · Posted

      I can't help with pinpointing the source of the bass, but I have found playing white noise helps to mask unwanted sounds, and it's also quite soothing (in a way). I ask Alexa to play white noise, which must make a nice  change for her from asking what the temperature and/or weather is outside, or asking her to sing the Doggy Song, which is usually all she does (present from my brother). But probably you can get a white noise app on your phone. Have you contacted Southwark Noise Control (?) who may be able to trace where the bass is coming from?

      Adam Richman eats football, Adam Richman eats Britain. So, asking for a friend, where the name Eats Dulwich came from?
