Congestion Bellenden Road

[intexasatthe moment]

and the locals make you squeeze into the hedges so that you're the one whose car gets scratched !

Defont, I agree. I live in Bellenden road and trying to drive through there to get to work in the morning is bad, something should be done before there is a bad accident.

Indeed, coming from Cornwall, I find the width of Bellenden Rd quite amazingly wide to be honest! As for the one way system, it serves to keep day trippers lost in a continuous spiral until they are spat out somewhere nearer Peckham Rye and enables us residents some space to park and shop.

I suspect the crowds of school children are staying at the Peckham Lodge.

If people were to only park where the actual parking spaces allowed there is, I believe, space to get by, but that doesn't happen. However I do find the comment "The standards were set in Balubaland" rather puzzling.

If those Devon and Cornwall country roads had the traffic throughput of Bellenden Road they'd down tear the hedges and make it a dual-carriageway!
