Don't they take cash ?

Golden Kitchen is good for take away and they have their own website and drivers.

Hmm, Let's see, started with Meta a few weeks ago, then we had Microsoft, then McDonalds and Now Sainsbury's and Tesco... Probably others I've forgotten about as well. Somehow I doubt this is a coincidence. People say you can go cashless..., but you clearly can't if you want people to be able to pay when technology breaks down, is ddosed or whatever.

TFL and the councils are as cash strapped as everyone else is. That's the bottom line, not going to make any difference who is Mayor or who is running the council. Screwed regardless, you can't get blood out of a stone. Things have remained pretty benign economically but like the 70s,80s,90s economic problems I doubt it will stay like that for too much longer.

Nothing received here. Just waiting for the inevitable parking permit bill, doesn't matter what we do.

It's total gridlock at the bottom end of Streatham high road every afternoon from what I've seen... Lambeth have previous with the closure at Loughborough junction, iirc that only got removed when someone died or nearly died as it slowed down the ambulance / blocked them in so much. Pretty sure the fines must have dried up for the LTNs around here by now, most people got wise to them, that £1m in fines in 3 months is a distant memory for the council... Given it's always been about revenue generation imo, won't be surprised if they're changed to try and trap people again somehow.

The council is struggling with inflation as well. It's really as simple as that. You wonder why they want to roll out the CPZ everywhere? Even in the "gated communities" like court lane where there are barely any cars thanks to the LTNs already. Money, money, money.

Sarp on opposite corner from M&S near ED station. I had mine done on Saturday, really useful shop, think usually only open in the afternoon.

Looks like they gritted around it. I do wonder why so many pipes burst now, don't remember it happening so much in 10 or 20 years ago.

Wouldn't surprise me from people in the likes of Velde way on East Dulwich Grove or people who live on the South circular around Dulwich Common estate. They're stuck with traffic outside their house 24/7 meanwhile the mansions around Court Lane get to live in a traffic free wonderland... Not sure why they leaflets would be done on Burbage exactly, restrictions around there are timed at least. I guess the increased parking fees have something to do with it ?

Well there was that shotgun pointed in the face incident on Crystal Palace road a while back. The last time riot police were around it was for a protest against the drag at the Great Exhibition I think.

Hopefully the government pull the plug and remove the legislation allowing LTNs, School streets should stay though as long as they're timed restrictions not blanket. I think Tower Hamlets were correct when they scrapped LTNs: "They have pushed huge amounts of traffic on to [other] roads … and are simply moving congestion and pollution on to the most vulnerable residents.” Parts of Dulwich Village have been turned in to almost a gated community where there is no traffic, meanwhile all the extra goes on to the main roads where poorer people typically live. A disgusting policy, frankly. Let them eat car fumes?

The problem is the council potentially running out of money, going "bankrupt" and having to file a section 114 notice. The solution is the CPZ...

I found it pretty similar to Semas and Sea Master, decent, the one thing that put me off is they don't seem to do small portions of mushy peas. Just big expensive ones. Good to have options I guess.

Similar for me I think.
