The proposed bus gate is on Peckham Rye between Dulwich Road and Nunhead Crescent I believe. -
I googled their reviews. You are right, they do have a significant number of complaints, although overall they get over four stars. Their customer service made some useful suggestions to somebody with connection issues - I wondered if you had seen this response? -
The information given in detail here is about the area from East Dulwich Road northwards, and seems reasonably helpful and well thought out. It appears, however, to be the first part of a bigger plan. The text “Our plans include restricting access on the east side of Peckham Rye Park by introducing a new ‘bus gate’. This would restrict general traffic except for buses, cycles and service vehicles (e.g. bin lorries)” suggests that all traffic coming from the Cheltenham Road area will have to go elsewhere, presumably increasing dramatically the traffic on Colyton Road and Peckham Rye West. That would be alarming. Am I misunderstanding this? Have they misunderstood the meaning of Peckham Rye Park, when they are actually referring to the north section of Peckham Rye Common? (It wouldn’t be the first time, if so.) -
How on earth can the council spare the staff to go out and remove dog poo every time it is reported? Where are these people based? Just the travelling time there and back must take up a fair chunk of their day. This mess is all over the place. If people keep reporting it, the council workers would scarcely have got back to their base before they had to go out again and remove another pile! Cushy job! Maybe this is the answer. Keep reporting it, and someone with half a brain cell at the council will realise that it is far more cost effective to bring back the bins and just have someone make a trip round all of them as required to empty them. This does of course depend on why the bins were removed in the first place. Were dog owners actually using them? It seems to me that the people letting their dogs poo (I really don't know why we can't use the c or s words) on the pavement or in the gutter probably wouldn't be bothered to use the bins either, plus you could hardly have a bin on every street. I don't know what the answer is. There are many many dogs in East Dulwich now. Maybe have some sort of test for prospective dog owners, like a driving test, before they are allowed to have a dog. To include picking up and proper training, including recall. Sadly that is obviously not feasible, and never going to happen.
