Peckham Park Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 The council spends a lot of time looking at traffic measure such as CPZs and healthy streets. However, I think the problem is not just about too many cars, but healthy streets should be safe streets! East Dulwich residents should expect to live without fear of crime. How can we expect children to be safe walking to school, when there is such an epidemic of mugging children on the streets or in the parks. Parents will just end up driving their children to and from school. What is the council doing about that - nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abe_froeman Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 They have probably made a contribution actually. Just one example of - kicking out all of those people from Elephant and Castle to sell off their homes to overseas capitalist investors leaves some of those people feeling very Brexity.

exdulwicher Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Well technically, in the case of muggings and other violent crime, it's not really the councils remit to do much directly. That's the job of the police and central Government is responsible for the police. That'd be the central Government that have cut policing numbers to the bone...The council come into it with things like social care, youth centres, support for deprived families and so on. But they get most of the money for that from central Government. That'd be the central Government that have cut the welfare budget to the bone...Brexit is just one example of where "our" money has been wasted! Wait, what? Wasted? Surely not... I was definitely promised a Unicorn from the Sunlit Uplands, bearing a blue passport on it's golden horn. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gingergossip Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 My street is unhealthy.It's filled with idiot parents looking at their iphones and not looking out for their kids.They live in a world of social media induced paranoia and have no sense of actual risk. They only feel safe bolted into a 4x4 armoured car guzzling fuel and destoying the health of the wheezing red-eyed street urchins that clutter their roads.No doubt thier children will need gated communities and epipens in case they become "offended". Southwark is responsible for brexit -the whole country knows it, everyone in the EU knows it. Stop lying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
