Goose Green councillors - how can we help?


Recommended Posts

Thank you James unfortunately you have confirmed my fears - the Locals who voice very real concerns about the LTNs will continue to be ignored. The council is working with the select few who follow the mantra.

Such a shame really that we are now experiencing shocking levels of pollution due to blind refusal to acknowledge what is happening to our area. So disappointing that the council are not working with or listening to.

Human activity produces pollution not councillors on their own. But rightly or wrongly councillors are trying to do something about it. I'm not even sure what this shocking level of pollution is. If you want back 30 years you would have had lead from petrol, 70 years smog from coal burning and even before the industrial revolution South London was pretty disgusting for example leather tanning.

That?s hardly fair, James set up this thread to engage with Goose Green residents and it seems to have been successful given the 40 pages! He?s the most responsive of the local councillors. Imagine he does more case work than most.

I completely agree. James is very proactive, far more so than other local councillors, as far as I can see


Edited to make it clear which post I was agreeing with!

Getting rid of the EV charging spaces on East Dulwich Grove for example is such a great idea in a climate emergency.

Have they been removed though? - or just moved elsewhere? They were too close to the junction and caused conflict for the 37/42 bus

I think the stationary traffic every morning is the 'conflict' for the 37 bus...I liked the days it went down Melbourne Grove - a perfect transport link. Maybe Melbourne should be a bus route again - take out all street parking and divert the bus down there to avoid the congested traffic on ED Grove. School route served also.

It was a controversial issue back then and Melbourne Grove traders were losing revenue from the lack of passing bus passengers on the 37.


I doubt they'd re-route it back again as the 42 connects East and North Dulwich stations.

I'm sure I must have missed something here, but why is it necessary to have a bus connection between East and North Dulwich stations?


They are on the same train line, aren't they?

The 42 bus link is more about giving a direct bus connection to Sainsbury's from Red Post Hill and East Dulwich Grove.

I am very concerned about the number 40 and other key bus routes disappearing due to TFL cuts (thanks essentially to the Conservative government squeezing the budget and holding Mayor Khan to ransom). Is there anything we can do other than fill in the consultation and sign petitions (numerous seem to be doing the rounds)? Thanks for all you do in the area

Like Jellybean I am very anxious about the cutting of Local bus routes.

In my case its specific to the 12 and 176 which are the only busses I can use to get my job in Central London.

I've filled in the consultation forms and petitions but I feel that will be ignored by the powers that be...

What are our Councillors doing to make TFL realise that we deserve better, and many locals do need to commute for work.

James - there was a serious car crash on East Dulwich Grove on Sunday (28th) morning, so serious that it required the fire service cut open one of the vehicles to remove the driver and the to road to be closed for several hours. In addition to the two cars involved I saw damage to two others that were parked nearby. I've no idea of the cause but I live fairly close by and I did hear a loud bang so imagine speed was involved.

One of the cars ended up on the pavement which could have seriously injured or worse any pedestrians that had been there at the time.

As a person that frequently cycles and walks along this road I am often concerned about the speed that a small minority of car drivers travel, in spite of the raised platforms that are present.

Are you aware of any plans to look at schemes to force traffic to travel more slowly and/or penalise those that don't ?

The new pavements tend to pond after a heavyish amount of rainfall; the dipped kerbs all pond after rain. Conway can’t be relied upon to do a good job on paving - too many examples of poor results within a 1 mile radius - yet they still have a contract.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
