Hello


We are thinking of moving to East Dulwich in the next few months. We have been looking at some places in Derwent grove and Melbourne road. The houses look great but we were concerned about the traffic particularly on Melbourne. Does anyone live around this area and is the traffic much of a problem? It would be good to get some inside information!


Thanks

Both of them are good roads. The biggest problem with them is parking, because they are so close to the station. Both are also used as rat runs to avoid Lordship Lane, and Melbourne is the more used of the two because it's the first turning for those coming from the village, and also because Melbourne carries on over ED Road. But Melbourne is better now than a few years back when it was on the 37 bus route.


By the way, one day they'll be building a new community hospital behind Melbourne, which will no doubt improve the view for those currently overlooking rubble. But in the medium term, perhaps in 3 or 4 years time (who knows?!), you can expect a major construction job to be going on during the day for several months.

    • If you report this to Southwark they'll probably advise you to make a Third party claim or contact your insurance company.  Obviously if your building is not yet affected you may be reluctant to contact your insurance company because it can lead to problems in future when you go to renew even if you don't make a claim.  If it's just the pavement and garden wall etc you could start the conversation about removing/replacing the tree with the tree officer at Southwark, copying in your councillor if you get no reply.   The claim advice is in the link if you want to go down that route or ring them for advice https://www.southwark.gov.uk/housing/homeowners/leaseholders/building-insurance/make-claim  
    • Hi there, Anyone interested in a summer meet up for boys starting Y7 at St Thomas Apostle school in September? Please private message me. Thanks!
    • I had my nails done by Sofia a week last Friday and they're really lasting well, no chips so far! +44 7467 626325 Call to book or she's also on Instagram but they take a high percentage of each booking needless to say! Lovely little room where she does nails, personal service with tea and biscuits.. nice calm environment.  Highly recommended!
    • If you have any experience dealing with local authority or insurance company please can you private message me, as I would appreciate advice and to hear from someone who's been successful in having a tree causing damage removed from the pavement outside house. I love trees but it doesn't seem sensible to have planted species which are growing or will grow into tall/large trees and need somewhere for their roots to grow... huge problem in this area (stumps and empty patches in pavements galore) especially with clay soil already causing some soil movement.  Thanks and hopefully no rude replies. Seem to be some on here with too much time, ready to attack or with sarcastic comments.
