Tulse Hill news, chitter chatter and gossip

[GarveyLives]

The mood there must have been particularly sober following the recent violent death of the Late Justyna Kalandyk - based on the reports, their staff and management may well have been the last people to whom she spoke before her tragic death.

The Late Justyna Kalandyk: Anyone with information or footage concerning the manner in which she was killed on the morning of Monday 11 December 2017 is asked to contact the Serious Collision Investigation Unit at Merton on 020 8543 5157 or contact via @MetCC.

Her friends and relatives are free to post tributes to her on this thread.​

Exactly four years after Justyna Kalandyk was killed, the crossing where she met her death does not appear to be significantly safer.

arguably it is worse because now you have to effectively walk in the traffic to pass the scaffolding.
I guess scafffolding is a lot less disruption than if the facade of the building decided to collapse onto the south circular.
But I have never gained the impression that there is work going on full time to sort the problem, and a 4 month extension seems quite long

 

[Cat Fan]

Yes, there is a diversion sign but most people seem to just walk in the road instead of having to cross the road multiple times.

Not a priority for TFL unfortunately.

 

[nick]

Diversion sign not clear then.
I had I assumed the diversion was to walk around the hoarding, very close to oncoming traffic.
I didn’t read it as telling you to actually cross the road.

Oh well - to be revisited in March I’ll wager

Surely someone in TFL Buses must be pissed off about this. It takes them more time to get round the gyratory, reducing punctuality and driver productivity, and they’re using more diesel as a result. It wouldn’t seem like a big deal to us but, with the frequency of buses along those routes, it must add up.

It's a pain in the arse and also putting pedestrians at risk.

Just walked past, was ok because weather ok and traffic light but if it was raining or icy, well I would not be happy walking past

Can we have the snow and fireworks back please. Wasn't sure about the masks though. I couldn't recognise myself.

Can anyone recommend a vet? I was recommended that one on Norwood Road (near the Tulse Hill side of Brockwell Park) but they've got a 6 month waiting list.

I use brockwell vets in herne hill opposite the station no problems so far, a friend uses goddards at the top of Brixton hill and is very happy with their service...London animal hospital in camberwell also gets kudos from people I know....

 

[ohmyliver]

thanks very much, I've got a 4pm appointment tomorrow.

A bit late, but had a good experience with Streatham Hill vets

For what it's worth I've had bad experiences with Goddard on Brixton Hill and Brockwell vets in Herne Hill (who sold on my details for marketing purposes without my permission). Norwood Vets are brilliant, and couldn't fault them. Medivet on Kenbury Street off Coldharbour Lane are also really good IME.

hi, that’s bad about the data breach at brockwell vets, did this involve signing up for pet insurance or was it the vets themselves, I’m not questioning your post just trying to learn more as someone who uses them !

 

[T & P]

I’ve used Norwood Road vets for nearly two decades and they’ve always been great. Haven’t used the ones by Herne Hill station, but I have seen plenty of positive reviews of them in here over the years.

bad experience at the one on brixton here as well

 

[oldandjaded]

We use brockwell vets and never had a problem. I enjoy the ladies matching Rolex watches as well. Makes me wonder what they spend their money on.

I read a sign on the scaffolding by the Hardel Rise bus stop - seems to be there while they are building 5(?!) houses in someone's back garden.

I've recently found out that Jessi Morgan died. Another colourful South London character gone.

Yes, basically the dead land between the Christchurch Rd end of Hardel Rise, & the 415 stop.

 

[ohmyliver]

There's until 11pm tonight to raise objections against the proposed huge property developer's middle finger to Lambeth that is the proposed redevelopment (It's not even going to provide any affordable housing which would have been the one upside to iy) of Knollys Yard, which will impact Tulse Hill as well as West Norwood

 

[Cat Fan]

I always thought that was the garden of the houses facing out on Christchurch. There are quite a few buildings on Hardel Rise already at the bus stop end.

It makes zero sense to propose such a huge building in such a tiny plot so far out of central London. Best case it would be an eyesore, worst case a future environmental hazard and slum.

Interestingly planning permission seems to have been conditional on an air quality assessment and various conditions to stop poor air quality indoors (tightly sealed windows?).

But the decision last year following the air quality assessment was refusal.

Not sure if that means the whole thing is stopped or just paused until new plans are submitted.

Might need someone more familiar with Lambeth's planning process to opine on it

Any news about the current situation with Tulse Hill's wonderful Haircut
Sir?

I went for a haircut there 3 weeks ago, to find two men, maybe estate
agent, unlocking the door. They said cryptically there might be a change
of hands.

Every time I've gone past since then it's been closed, but without any
change to their usual website info.

Then this morning I saw 'Temporarily Closed' on the website. What's
happening?

Haircut Sir! is up there with all the other iconic Brixton area places
and I'm sure many are missing it badly, as I do. Always a great haircut
and a great chat.

Any one know what's going on?

Amber's on maternity leave and Charlie has had a bit of a rough time with Covid. Don't know more beyond that.

 

[technical]

The freehold of the building was up for sale a while ago although I don’t know what transpired

Just posted this on the main Brixton thread. Not realised it was duplicated here.

Brixton news, rumours and general chat

I wouldn't disagree that the way they're presented is unlikely to get a very broad range of people to respond - but I actually think Lambeth are doing a reasonable job here. Planning is a complex process to a large extent - the way this is being done (other boroughs using same/similar formats as...

This was just posted on the West Norwood Facebook group about the White Hart.

"The White Hart on Station Approach Tulse Hill will be run by the group who own the Prince of Peckham,owned by Clement Ogbannaya. It will be called The Queen of the South. Great news, that area has such potential. A very welcome addition to Tulse Hill"
