Yet again the Peckham one way system is being changed! Not being content with spending tens of thousands last year and the year before on the junction with Peckham Rye they are at it again.!!!!!!


Long queues in both directions pedestrians dodging the traffic and tempers and anger from bus drivers cyclists and car drivers.



Do we really need this disgustingly poorly organised road alteration?



Why haven?t the PC Safety Busy bodies at Southwark council been down there and made the contractor setup a sensible diversion? (I know it?s because they are busy Christmas shopping and they don?t want to do anything to help a real danger / downer on us Southwark Council Tax payers)!!!!!


Would it really be that difficult to create a safe Diversion?


Remember when Thames water kept that 100% unnecessary contra flow in place on the rye, when they went back they just dug a small hole and finished the job!!!


Will we need to see another fatal accident, before these incompetent road workers and road safety idiots finish on the one way system? I hope not!

So you're too lazy to look up the correct councillors and complain to them but you expect James Barber to take on someone else's workload?

Mind you, I'm not excusing the incompetent planning that allows roadworks on Nunhead Lane, Peckham Rye, Bellenden Road and Peckham High Street at the same time. Glad I cycle everywhere.

I couldn't believe it when I saw the brand spanking new island on the corner of Heaton Road and Rye Lane completely pulled up and replaced with an even newer and shinier one. Glad to see my taxes, Council Tax and everything else being spent so wisely.


I've lost count of the number of times Rye Lane has been dug up over the last couple of years, most of which I'm sure is down to the relevant parties needing to blow the remainder of their budgets by the end of each financial year, rather than waiting for more co-ordinated roadworks. All of which shows how pointless Ken Livingstone and Boris Johnson's ideas to charge companies and councils who dig up roads needlessly. Not only will such charges be a small drop in the ocean compared to the millions they need to get rid of before the end of the year, but the companies would probably love being fined because it's yet another way of depleting their budgets!

    • We have had Tony and team do a number of repairs and decorative work over the past year in our Victorian terrace in Peckham. Most recently, they painted the majority of our house while we were on holiday, where they spent 12 hour days over two weeks working non stop to complete plastering, walls & ceilings, and woodwork paint on custom joinery. We returned to the most beautiful house decor, with the whole place spotless too. I would have no hesitation in recommending TDR, the work is always to an extremely high standard, well priced and I always trust Tony and his work. 
    • It's quite normal with chain shops that have a large real estate portfolio who are in the proverbial. When the writing is on the wall they know exactly how much they can afford to pay to keep a site open and the landlord then has a choice:  accept the lower rent or find a new tenant. Finding a new tenant sometimes means not getting any rent from an insolvent company, paying to clear their stuff out and giving the new tenant a rent free period to fit out their shop and establish themselves. It can be expensive for the landlord to refuse a rent reduction. I think this landlord has probably landed on their feet here though, getting Tesco interested. 
    • When I used to go to the one in Woodwarde road I found them expensive but not exceptional- They kept suggesting I have an acid treatment on my toenails which have a tendancy to become ingrown-I think it was many hundreds of pounds (about £400 5 or so years ago) when I found my current Podiatrist (who teaches at The Royal college of Podiatrists) he told me that A: that treatment was'nt foolproof and the nail could grow back and B: that he really did'nt reccomend it in my case. I also did'nt like how the charges at Woodwarde rd just kept getting higher and varied depending on whom was treating me.
