Hello


Our car was subject to significant damage while parked on the right hand side of Matham Grove outside the EDG nursery between 9pm on Sunday 12th July and 7am Monday 13th July. Predictably, there was no note left. In the midst of a pandemic, with two small children needs to consider and where public transport is not advised, now not having our car, is a significant inconvenience to say the least.


When the insurance company picked it up yesterday and made an initial assessment, the evidence suggested that it had been caused by a vehicle driving up Matham Grove in the wrong direction. Their theory is that they encountered something coming the other way in the right direction and veered into our vehicle to avoid a head on crash, while the vehicle that was travelling in the correct direction veered to the left and avoided a head on collision as there is a dropped curb on the opposite side of the road to where our vehicle was parked to allow access to garages.


One of our neighbours has picked up some grainy footage of a vehicle, clearly damaged but travelling in the correct direction down our road, from their security doorbell camera. This has been passed to the insurance company for further investigation. Can anyone make any further suggestions as to where there might be CCTV that shows a car turning into Matham Grove from Lordship Lane in the wrong direction. Or if you have any further information that might relate to this incident, we'd be grateful to hear from you.

There is cctv on a post above the corner of Foxtons. It may have been pointing the tight way but I don't know who it belongs to.

So sorry for your situation. People going down one ways the wrong way in this area is reaching maddening levels.

    • Sounds as expected and obviously firmly catering towards the middle classes who can afford to drop £80 on a meal for 2 with a round of drinks without breaking a sweat. I dont suppose they have an affordable lager for those who dont fit into the above group?  Do they have a pram/buggy park like they do at a creche? As that would come in handy im sure.  Its a shame because going back before covid it was still an affordable pub, mostly used by drinkers. 
    • I wonder which part/s of the bridge are affected? Pathway or side barriers (don't know the proper terms, sorry). Or both? I think there was a thread on here before (but I can't remember the subject) which included a discussion about using a "man" made material which looks more or less identical to wood but is much longer lasting. I have seen it used on paths and bridges in places like  nature reserves. If I hadn't been told it wasn't wood, I would never have known. I wonder why something like that wasn't used in the first place? The bridge hasn't been there that long, has it? Surely whatever wood was used shouldn't be rotting already?  Happy memories with my grandkids when they were younger, on the bridge  feeding bird seed to the ducks (and other birds!)
    • The room on the right hand side has been set up as a restaurant; whereas the left hand side & behind the bar is still open for drinks & food! 🙂 yes saw the doors open to the lounge upstairs where I think/hope they will have their TVs set up for sport games again as they have all been removed from the downstairs room 🙂 
    • The thing to be aware of, is once you know for sure that it's subsidence, you have to report it to your insurance company. So decide how bad the issue is and whether that's a ball you want to start rolling.  If it's just a few cracks, then I would just get then fixed up and not worry too much.
