Tulse Hill news, chitter chatter and gossip

With apologies for the slightly misleading earlier description, it would be more accurate to say that the street light is outside 393 Norwood Road.

It would be good if it was repaired before, rather than after, someone has been knocked down by the traffic there.

It is good to see that this has now been repaired.
 
So sadly, but inevitably, having been postponed a couple of times, the railway fundraiser for 15 jan weekend has now been cancelled
Claim refunds or donate the price to their crowdfunded

I can't imagine any kind of live music happening before late March at the very earliest.
 
Does anyone know what is happening with 248 Harpenden road. I think it's called Harpenden House. It's the old probation house. I've seen lots of kitchens and bathrooms being delivered and a builder said they were being converted to flats but I'm unable to find any plans or change of use.
I'm moving close to it hence my interest.

There's a change of use application with very thin documentation. Ref 20/03791/P3O
It's just a request for confirmation that this is ok under Permitted Development.
A bunch of 1 bed rabbit hutches as far as I can tell
 
Shooting on the Palace Estate last night. I bloody heard it. No dead thankfully. Female shot in cheek (face not arse)

"It is believed a group of up to six suspects had approached a residential property and fired at the address. They then fled in a getaway vehicle and in the process hit another stationary vehicle at the scene.
We have carefully assessed this incident and additional intelligence we hold. At this stage we believe this incident to be gang-related"

Colin Wingrove, Chief Superintendent, BCU Commander – Central South

There was no sirens or commotion.

2 shots, a brief scream and silence. I even went out to look.

Told myself it was fireworks.

"A 50-year-old woman sustained minor facial injuries believed to be from a shotgun pellet. London Ambulance Service attended but the woman did not require hospital treatment.

I suspect that much like this incident, we will not hear very much about it again.
 
There was an 'incident' here a few days before which I am suspecting this was some kind of retaliation.

That also involved a car crash, and a bloke chasing a car, with a baseball bat along Christchurch road, as it rolled along with smoke coming out.....

Never a dull moment
 
There seems to have been radio silence on social media from both Streatham Hill ward police and Palace Road TRA about recent incidents in the area.

Not sure if what has gone out to people on Neighbourhood Watch etc. in briefings saying "we believe this to be gang related" provides much community reassurance given the unfortunate history elsewhere in SW2 of passers-by or misidentified neighbours becoming inadvertent victims of "gang-related" violence.

... but concerning to see that there had been an accident earlier this evening immediately opposite at the junction with Palace Road.
 
I have been reading Brixton Buzz regularly - it "is Brixton’s biggest and most comprehensive news , features and listings site."
Yes, I believe that claim is correct. It's also entirely run by unpaid volunteers - just like this site.

Or do you somehow expect local blogs to cover every single story happening in and around Brixton? And if you're disappointed by certain issues not being represented, why don't you research the story and write it yourself?
 
Letter through door about Tulse Hill LTN (the North east bit between A205 and Brixton Hill )

ETO comes into effect 18 Jan

They will now start enforcement.

I thought that they were already doing so, but perhaps not. Suspect that people may have started to realise that it was not yet in effect as I see cars going though the barriers more often that I would expect if doing so came with a £100 price of entry
 
Interesting stuff. What could it be about?
I just said to myself “look at the height of that boy” as I drove towards him, “look at the tan on him “ as I got closer, and “that’s Peter Crouch” as I went past.
I’ve seen stuff filmed up there before. There’s a house that seems to get used.
 
Near to Hillside Road. Which is bang in the middle. But also the highest point!

It definitely goes uphill after Hillside Road - not as much as before it but still up as you go past Streatham Wells - I know this from "running" up the bloody road.

Also the top of any road cannot be in the middle of the road in my opinion.

Lastly, I have no idea why I am being so pedantic about all of this. :D
 
The high point of Palace Road is half way between Hillside and the nature gardens at 64m above sea level

The true "top" of Streatham Hill is a 68m ridge just a bit West of Hillside Road and spanning over the railway to Leigham Court Road

Now we know where to run to if there is ever a biblical level flood :)
 
Well I knew this from my heart rate when running up there. :D There's always a dip once I get past Streatham Wells primary.
Yep, I've been there. Running up the hill, you begin to get relief just after the nursery. Then it's downhill all the way to Oval!

I have just been out for my run and it is definitely much more icy from Streatham Wells to Christ Church than it is further down Palace Road (where down means between Hillside and Norwood Roads, to keep things right for you). I think the extra elevation brings a corresponding drop in temperature!

It'd take longer, but for extra intense biblical level floods I'd run further, through West Norwood and up Knight's Hill to the junction with Streatham Common North, where the covered water reservoir is. That's pretty high.
 
Tulse Hill is closed just after the Tesco garage. There's a red Zafira outside Cressingham Gardens from which the roof has been entirely removed. It doesn't look too bad otherwise.

Lots of traffic is diverting into Hillworth and Claverdale. Presumably there will be a lot of LTN fines issued.

Talking about LTN, I saw a Lambeth marked CCTV van yesterday parked on Hillside. Cameras down perhaps so they had to call in the cavalry?
