The high street location isn't particularly conventional, but surely a new crossing plus a lolli-person for a couple of hours a day should solve the safety issue? Yes it is a busy road, but vehicles don't travel as fast as they do on Peckham Rye for instance..

One has to take in all practicalities...


Classrooms on a busy road. Traffic Noise. Solution double glaze and keep windows shut.?


Pollution:- Solution double glaze and keep windows shut.?


Hot weather:- Solution Air conditioning.??? Not good environment especially for young people.

Dry eyes especially when spending time on computer screens. Respiratory problems.


Outside play/exercise area. Not applicable.


Parents driving children to school. Parking. ???


Our kids deserve better.


This is not Foxy being grumpy. It is common sense..


Then Foxy does not have to rely on making himself popular to get votes. ;-)

For those that jumped down Dulwichfox's throat (which I know is hard to avoid at times), it's not like he said anything outrageous. I too thought about the busy road immediately.


Although I went on to assume they'd add another crossing, and not have the gate right there on LL.

There are alternatives to aircon. I worked in an office where we had 'cooling rods' served by a cold water cooling system. It was fantastic in summer.

Yep.. If Foxy was to report that .. 'The Station was shut' there would be some people that would

immediately take that as Foxy being negative, not Foxy being helpful.


I don't think they ever actually understand what I write. I try to keep them as short as possible.

I do not feel the need to explain the punch-line so to speak. I assume a certain level of intelligence. :)


DulwichFox Not an actual fox. and not my real name.

It is good to see so many solutions to all possible problems.


Better to have a situation where no problems need to be resolved.


I build computer programs. Good programing is getting it right first time.

Not having to spend hours de-bugging badly written code.


I suppose it's a bit much to expect that from any local authority when it comes to planning ahead.

As it would if it opened on any other quiet road. Are you saying it should open onto a busier one that would, presumably, become even busier?


Not being snarky - just that if people object to schools opening on busy and on quiet roads there's not a lot left.

Won't someone think of the children!


Won't someone think of the quiet roads!


Won't someone think about me me me and my narrow view of world!!!


It's a school. In an area that needs one. Won't be first on a busy road and won't be last. Ease off on the nimbyism people


(Anyone got stats on how many horses died from all this traffic when they were stationed there?)

Foxy,


Why don't you get your computer and write some code that:


- meets the need for the shortage of primary schools places in SE22

- is safe

- doesn't need any air conditioning

- doesn't create any extra traffic

- takes advantage of the what's actually available on the market in terms of space at the moment

- doesn't spoil any quiet residential roads

- is conveniently located for the people who need it



...should take a clever bloke like you about 5 mins or so

What SJ and Ron70 said.


Lots of young families moving here, breeding, and needing education and that. I can't think of a better use of space.


What we really don't need are those idiots who drive 4x4 cars so no-one can ever pass them. Please buy smaller cars and get over yourselves - We know you're rich, but you really do block most of East Dulwich. And the world. ;)


And east dulwich is fairly flat. You're not having an "adventure" in your 4x4. You are just causing traffic.

Computer code is governed by strict syntax and logic.

Council proposals have no concept of either and thereforej

There is no computer or computer language that

Could resolve such a conundrum.

Jeremy, I don't live on that road but often walk past the site. It seems a very small site for a school with 60 children. If it goes ahead, I do wish it well and hope it is a success. Children benefit from a good sized playground..

People saying that site is too small for 60 children?


That was two rooms when I went to school - how can a place that big not be big enough for 4 rooms


There were countless police, cells, stables yadda yadda. PLENTY room for 60 pupils


But I'm glad I didn't study planning. Turns out all I need to make a decision is 15 seconds on the internet

      Nursery school

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Boycotting US products

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
