Watch yourselves as you cycle along Upland Road near its junction with Crystal Palace Road


Almost hit by a pallet loader reversing out into the road with no banksman


Probably part of the construction industry attempt to export casualties from the building site to surrounding roads!!

Yes that stretch of road is increasingly comandeered by developers/ builders on both sides. At times the road is totally blocked by various builder lorries parked up both sides on the road, since the sites face each other. It is dangerous for pedestrians and especially for the elderly, disabled and mums pushing buggies. I also feel very sorry for the shops along that parade whose trade must be affected.


The larger site is large and has already been allowed to temporarily take over the whole footpath. Why then is it allowed to park endless large vehicles and equipment outside the temporary barrier blocking the road? Why has permission been given for two different builds, right opposite each other, to go ahead simultaneously, especially when both are treating the public highway as an extension of their respective building sites?

Yes first mate it has become worse since the glass front shop type property on the right rather than the building on the left has started to be developed. We have noticed this on the occasions we have come past there. It is the same near us on Lordship Lane by Townley Road.Both these sites are MYN developments and a quick search shows that they transgress quite a bit. We found an improvement notice by southwark for Barry Road and even a prohibition notice served by Islington council earlier in the year. Hope you do keep an eye on this Mr. Barber before something serious happens.

Thanks all - perhaps we ought to ask those involved in the Southwark Cyclists / TFL Road works ride to extend the range to poor management of Southwark TM's (temproary measures)....

    • Other than acting as 'interested parties' Southwark Councillors have no responsibility for water issues. And no real leverage either. Considering the complete disdain with which Thames Water treats its own Regulator, and the government, (let alone its customers) I doubt very much whether an entire battalion of councillors would have much impact. What powers could they exercise?
    • That may not be so - many on this site are experts in many areas - you yourself claim huge traffic management (or similar) expertise for instance. And I think you will find that Southwark employees are unlikely to support criticism or challenges to Southwark policy - why, you don't and you apparently neither live in, or vote in, the borough. Do you, however, work for it, as you are such a cheerleader? If not, then you are the most passionate disinterested person on this site, as regards so many aspects, not just traffic.
    • Rather than have a go at Southwark,  contact them, they will employ at least one arborist who will know far more than most people on this site. Here's one: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaun-murphy-morris-03b7b665/?originalSubdomain=uk
    • I would look in the surrounding area as once they realise it has nothing they could sell or of obvious monatary value in it they'll dump the bag and contents.
