Tulse Hill news, chitter chatter and gossip

Interesting.
None of my business but, we’re you talking with him / her? If so what was their opinion on LTN etc? (I’m guessing negative but...)
Did they turnaround?
He turned around, we didn't get into a discussion. Odd that it sent him that way as it wouldn't have been any quicker, but it would have cut out some of the journey on a main road. Maybe these apps are designed to favour back roads and thus encourage rat running?
 
Just got absolutely drenched taking the dog down to Brockwell and back but it was a very cheering walk anyway.

On the way there I popped into the Geranium shop because the bugger has torn up every tennis ball we have and I wanted one for a good old game of fetch. They sorted me out and I had a nice chat with the guy in there today who is making an absolutely lovely window display - painting the window and everything. It occurred to me that they've sorted me out for every school dressing up thing/Halloween/Christmas/quite a lot of furniture/prams/bike bits and all sorts over the years and they're always lovely. So just big up to them.

Then I noticed that Nobby's bike is back! Had a chat with a bloke who said that he'd seen Nobby riding it recently and that he'd told him the police found it! So hurrah!

Mobility bike stolen from outside Tulse Hill Co-Op - can you help?
 
View attachment 235047I seems wrong to constrain a subject It's a shame to constrain something as fun as LTNs to just one thread.
Here is the ETO notice for hillside.
Can’t see a camera there yet. Although there are strips across the road to count vehicles.
Constant stream of cars going through it as I walked past - I suspect current thinking is that if you get through the gap at over 40mph, then it doesn't count. Which is nice at school closing time

I emailed Council beginning of October to ask them to clarify what orders they are using and why. What areas they are using them in.

They have borough wide order related to the pandemic which is time limited.

ETO do not mention the pandemic as reason. They are separate from the borough wide traffic order.

ETOs are way to circumvent the usual pre consultation.

I had no reply from my email to the email address that Lambeth have put out to ask questions on LTNs. Not surprised as Council don't like puttting reasons for decisions in writing.

Which is why I suppport idea of Judicial Review to make Lambeth set out its decision making and to justify it
 
I noticed them. There is an element of truth where middle class office workers are sitting at home with laptops whereas the bus drivers, shop workers and Deliveroo riders are interacting with thousands of people weekly.

I can’t see the alternative though.
 
There's definitely an element of truth to it and various memes out there to attest to it - although there are still professional medical staff and teachers (and doubtless others) very much out there.

Just ran into the owners of la casa Di italia/village maseleh. Its going back to Indian from tonight (in the casa location)

This is good news. Stick to what you know ;)
 
It was pretty empty every time I walked past. I guess it makes sense.
It's not a great time at all to be in that trade. Indian restaurants are popular in London, but I can't see the change bringing crowds immediately.

The Casa was a lovely restaurant all the same.
 
I had pizza from there. One was average the second they never bothered to deliver, once I had collected and got them home it was obvious they had been sitting in the oven for an hour.

If they were any good they could do well serving take away from the big opening windows to the passing trade.

It is disturbing to hear that a 16-year-old child was stabbed in the back and the leg by two other young people in Athlone Road on Saturday afternoon (31 October 2020) at around 2.20 p.m.

The following descriptions of the attackers have been given:

Attacker 1: "a black male, of skinny build and at least 5ft 8ins tall. He had no facial hair and a small neat black afro. He was wearing a plain burgundy top, and a light grey zip up hoody, which was open. He also had matching grey jogging bottoms."

Attacker 2: "a black male, 5ft 11ins tall, and wearing a grey hoodie which was open with the hood was up. He wore a black t-shirt underneath with an orange pattern on it which stood out. The pattern consisted of a few shapes that joined together, which were black with orange borders. He was wearing straight legged dark grey trousers and black shoes and sunglasses."

Those descriptions give a reasonable level of detail.

Anyone who can assist the investigation is asked to contact police on 101 or tweet @MetCC, quoting CAD4124/24Oct.

Information can also be passed to independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
 
Condolences to all those who were, and continue to be, affected by the murder of John Ogunjobi (also known as JaySav) on Tulse Hill Estate exactly one year ago. It would appear that the the Metropolitan Police have a number of 'prime suspects' for the murder of this child, but insuffcient evidence with which to charge anyone, despite the offer of a reward of up to £20,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for the murder.

Officers have released CCTV footage of a black Audi Q5 vehicle, registration number LB11 XPJ (False plates) and a light coloured VW 5-door Polo, with damage to the corner of its offside rear bumper. The two cars were seen shortly before and after the stabbing at around 10.50 p.m. on Monday 5 November 2018. They are asking anyone who may have seen these cars in or around the Tulse Hill area at the time of the incident to come forward and speak to them.

Earlier at 10.41 p.m. that night, the black Audi was captured on CCTV at Texaco petrol station in Croxted Road, Dulwich, having come from the direction of West Dulwich. A man wearing a long green puffa coat and purple latex gloves was seen to fill the car with petrol. False plates have been used on the car. It was then seen leaving the garage at 10.43 p.m., heading in the direction of Norwood Road.

On Tuesday 6 November 2018, the black Audi Q5 was found to have been burnt out on the Gunsite Allotments, Grange Lane, Dulwich. Checks revealed that this vehicle, under the correct registration number, had been stolen from Burbage Road on 12 October 2018.

Exactly two years ago this evening, 16-year old John Ogunjobi (also known as JaySav) was murdered in Greenleaf Close, Tulse Hill. He had been stabbed several times.

It is believed was his murder witnessed by a number of people in the community, some of whom have still not come forward to tell police what they know.

A reward of £20,000 is available for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for his murder.

So there are cameras up at the Hillside LTN now. Saw two cars drive through just as I was walking past, despite the added signage. Hope they don't get a shock when the fixed penalty notices land!

It's fairly unmissable. Big no vehicle signs and planters in the road. If you drive through, regardless of your opinion of the necessity of the zone itself, you can't have many complaints if you are fined.
 
I'm not really sure how to drive to Streatham any more. All my usual routes - Roupell, Upper Tulse Hill, Elm Park - closed off.

Where are you coming from and going to? Given the streets you mention, chances are you need to go South Circular via Tulse Hill and the gyratory, and then turn left at the Crown and Sceptre. Alternatively go down Tulse Hill, across Brixton Water Lane and then up Brixton Hill. There's no doubt it's a lot more distance than before.

Yes, both adding a lot of extra travel. Not sure Upper Tulse Hill and Elm Park should be closed off.

I have tried to keep impartial on the LTN debates. I do know that when I would travel to Brixton in the morning, my route was Tulse Hill, Claverdale / Athlone / Craignair, Elm Park, Leander, Helix, Arodene, Brixton Hill. With the purpose of keeping me off the South Circular and Brixton Water Lane. These alterations are undoubtedly there to curtail the likes of me. The residents will see a benefit in not having me and my ilk passing through. Whether the benefit to them is worth the extra hassle for them, I don't know.

I am a resident of one of those named roads. I am finding the hassle is not worth the closures. All I need is Upper Tulse Hill or Roupell Road to be open, the increased travel is adding a third on to my journey. I'll still drive if I need to go to Streatham, my situation is that I can't not.

I think if Roupell Rd were open, I could get to Tulse Hill / West Norwood avoiding the gyratory by going Athlone, Roupell, SCR, Hillside, Palace Rd. By closing Roupell and Upper Tulse HIll they keep all traffic from Brixton to West Norwood / Crystal Palace on Tulse Hill and the South Circular.

If one of those two were open then life in the other roads in the LTN would be unbearable. They are displacing the traffic onto the main road instead of onto the side roads.

I completely understand what they are trying to do, it definitely interrupts my journeys, and I don't know whether it is worth it.
