I second the call for complaints from Taymount Rise! I put in a call on Tuesday after the first lot of snow, was told the gritters had only just gone out but that we should be a priority because we are a steep gradient, so would probably get done.

We weren't. And it's well-nigh impassable for even pedestrians.

Follow up call today revealed only that the grit helpline operator wasn't sure why we hadn't been.

Both times I was assured that my concerns had been passed to the Highways Team.

So it seems the Highways team must have decided to prioritise "Upper Dulwich Bottom"* over a road that foolhardy drivers can smash into the South Circular from. Perhaps that is the kind of incident it will take before the dangerousness of this road is taken seriously by LBC.



*Not begrudging the Hill it's grit, just questioning the thought process...
