Oh my goodness, we've just witnessed the third RTA in three months at the eastern Lordship Lane end of Upland Road. Same as always, someone pulled out into traffic.


Everyone seems OK, both drivers got out and pretty sure there were no passengers. Thank god.


I actually park on that road and my goodness am I super careful whenever I pull onto Lordship Lane now.


Is this being flagged on some system? Can we make this junction safer? James B, if you read this, do you know if anything is being done? (I've no idea what). I don't think there's been any fatalities yet but it seems like it's just a matter of time.


I really hope everyone is OK in this latest accident.

At 10.20 pm today another accident has occurred on lordship lane at the junction of upland rd involving a bus and two cars. It is at the same place as a previous accident several months ago. Surely the council needs to take some action this time to implement traffic calming measures. Traffic is at at standstill.

Everyone seems to be fine. The bus wasn't involved .

Seems a case of removing the two cars causing the hold up . We always get worried when we hear a bang and always pray everyone walks away unharmed.

I have witnessed one fatality , a young boy on a moped many years ago and that was a sad loss of a life due to speeding ,definitely there needs to be an improvement on that junction .

Hi James


You may have seen the posts relating to the accident on lordship lane at 10.15 pm on 16/09/12 this is the second high speed accident on this stretch of Lordship Lane. Cars regularly travel well above the speed limit on this section and there have been many near misses. There is a crossing island between Friern and Upland road, which is heavily used by the pupils of Goodrich School, and the Harris Academies to cross Lordship Lane and I have witnessed some very near misses as cars travel so fast there. I feel a sign that flashes slow down and shows the car's speed would really help slow traffic if positioned near Underhill or Overhill Road (on the left hand side of the lane when travelling towards East Dulwich). Also there is a lot of wreckage left from the cars on the side of the road and around the tree one of the cars hit and lots of petrol on the road and pavement as one of the cars petrol tank split during the accident, I will contact the council and ask if it could be cleaned up and would be grateful if you could do the same. I would also be very grateful if you have any insights into the council?s position on traffic calming for this section of Lordship Lane or how neighbours and myself should go about asking for some traffic calming measures. Thank you for your time.


However I fear the accident stats for this part of Lordship Lane are incorrect as you can see from James's reply

Hi Lordship,

Looking at the last three years of crash data for this locaiton (www.crashmap.co.uk) 2009,2010 & 2011 shows 2 slight injuries over 2 crashes along the Lordship Lane around junctions with Friern and Upland Roads.


We have a number of other locations in East Dulwich which have more crashes and with more severity.


I personally think we should be deploying average speed cameras arond Southwark. Siemens is happy to provide them and fund requiring 3 speed awareness courses funded by speedsters per week. But it's complicated by the west side being in Village ward whose councillors have previously shown reluctance about controlling speedsters - hence the shared part of Melbourne Grove being one of the very few East Dulwich roads not 20mph.

It was good of James to reply but hope the council don't wait for another fatality until they decide to do something.

      Highly Recommended Painter / Decorator - Temi

      By tombo83 · Posted

      I highly recommend Temi as a very skilled and reliable painter / decorator based in the East Dulwich & SE London area. She has completed many jobs for us over the past 10 years at our property on Overhill Road SE22 and also on Harlescott Road SE15, and we have always been thoroughly impressed with her work. We often leave her with keys and leave her to work her magic, fully confident that she's 100% trustworthy and will always do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a trustworthy local decorator who delivers exceptional work Temi is a great person to call. I'm not affiliated with her or her business in any way and actually found her through a recommendation on the ED forum over 10 years ago, i just like to recommend really good tradespeople who deserve a thank you. Temi - 07784 289024

      Up the reform

      ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...
