The whole one-way system is definitely under ‘water duress’. Yesterday I noticed that the leak at the junction of Peacefield Cresc and Davids Road was producing quite a bit of water. There were a couple of guys with a pump - not sure if they were addressing the leak or just pumping out their own utility trench (phone or tv cable).

We had a Sainsburys lorry stuck in the dip on Waldenshaw Road for a day after going down in the snow and getting stuck.
I thought this guy had left the neighbourhood, but unfortunately the misfiring modified white golf seems to be back. Drove past me at 50 - 60 MPH this evening. Very noisy, also smelly exhaust.
Many people complain about lack of enforcement of existing laws such as local speed limits - this tech looks an easy fix using smart phones and v little police resource. ‘Speedcam Anywhere’
Edit: Doesn’t look as though the app works very well yet though.

It didn’t come up when I searched in the play store, so here is the link.
I hope the app works better than by the sign up process (it won’t let me click ‘sign up’ button despite password meeting criteria).

I’ll have to get out my Android burner phone to install this 
Interestingly I am going to court as a witness to a ‘dangerous driving’ incident caught on camera (albeit not using the app), so these videos do work.
It would seem that the council are finally doing something about the people who drive the wrong way down Manor Mount.

That’s awkward. I mean it’s been ‘No Entry’ for ages, not just ‘From 28th March’. This is just saying hey we’re actually going to enforce this for real because it’s a proper problem. Honestly I always look left when coming out of Waldenshaw because there’s always a real risk of some nutter coming down the wrong way.

Maybe they’ll finish it off by doing some sort of consultation and traffic survey about the impact of making 1 street one-way on the traffic on the neighbouring streets

Don’t hold your breath 
On a serious note i am glad that one issue around here is being addressed - i sometimes wonder whether the traffic department’s jurisdiction doesn’t stretch to this side of the railway.

except when it does.
I think known in most places as an Impact Assessment, but ignored in Lewisham
I’ve never understood why it is necessary to advertise camera enforcement. Guess it’s just the power of the motoring lobby.
Do the crime, face the fine.
However it happens to have been detected.

Deterrent is better and safer than punishment.
There probably won’t even be a camera, but no entry signs apparently don’t apply to all drivers.
Personally i think it should say no entry except for bicycles, but that probably goes without saying.
If I remember correctly there was already a camera sign there (albeit I never actually saw a camera) and so as soon as people (perhaps even apps now) figure that out then the camera deterrent signs no longer work.
Putting up a sign next to the existing ‘No Entry’ sign that says ‘No Entry for real after Date X’ is also daft because it’s literally inviting you to have a go before then.

There’s definitely a camera now. Diagonally opposite to the sign on the other side of Honor Oak Road on a tall pole.

It may not be a coincidence that the date on the sign is after the first photo of the sign.
yes agreed. I worked for the Home Office for a few years. Maybe more of it rubbed off on me than I’d realised…
