I don’t think it’s fully out yet- apparently it’s been quite hard to access the collapsed building. We keep getting periods of strong smelling acrid smoke and then it goes away- assume it’s when they manage to open up parts that are still burning until they extinguish that part. Must be really awful for those living nearby.

Southwark cyclists also a lobby group- the fact they meet with the council isn’t a surprise. I’m sure if you dig into this further there are lots of lobby groups trying to put their point across - but I’m still confused why people on this thread think that one dulwichs website map of their mailing list makes them any more valid than other lobby groups - eg it doesn’t mean they’re representative stakeholders

Well- it’s just the certainty that ‘clean air dulwich’ have met with cllrs on many occasions stated here by Heartblock, set against the overarching position on this thread that the council have ‘finally’ met with One Dulwich. Both are lobby groups so can see that they would want to meet to put their views forward but I’m not clear that a website depiction of their mailing list makes One Dulwich more ‘official’ than anyone else, or indeed that Clean Air Dulwich have been given different levels of access!

How many meetings have One Dulwich had with the council vs Clean Air Dulwich @heartblock ? this isn’t information that I’ve seen, so would be interested in understanding. One Dulwich do make much of how many people they represent though which may or may not correlate to email sign ups!

Have Clean Air Dulwich met with cllrs? Also how are they less of a group than One Dulwich? Genuinely interested in the distinction. Also I was under the impression from here that One Dulwich had been in numerous meetings with either cllr Rose , highways and now McAsh. Isn’t this the case?

As it stands there aren't really any shops on Melbourne Grove that promote browsing - just the vintage clothes place - the rest are appointment type places. If the drop wine bar opens and the coffee shop is open more with evening opening too then perhaps there are more local options to benefit for an increased footfall. Even the ones that are closed weren't places that you'd have browsed - chemist, locksmith and a hairdressers!

Yes cyclists can be dangerous if they pass through the square quickly. Most don't - some do. The design was better before as the planters naturally slowed those coming down Calton. Now there is nothing to slow people coming down if they don't think they ought to. Even speeding cyclists aren't as dangerous as speeding cars, but lets face it, I'd rather not be hit by either! There's also a perception point, most people overestimate cyclist speed - especially where its road bikes with the whirring noise they make.

Rockets - someone who has posted over 2000 times on this local forum pretty much on a single issue, making comments on 'lobbying' and attempting to frame it in a negative light. This is the post I saw yesterday - I thought they had edited it but it is still up they are just bombarding the council with "evidence" of an issue. One must question when these videos were recorded as the one on July 11th was clearly not recently given the heavy jackets some are wearing. This looks like a concerted effort to lobby.[

Just on this idea of paying twice - hopper fares mean that you can get on unlimited busses within 1 hour and only pay once. It has actually really helped with bus travel for me, especially on routes like vauxhall to ED - means can take a 36 and then change at Camberwell for the multiple options there for example.

The distribution of place demand isn't even across southwark though - so the schools most at risk of closure are more in the north. It looks as though there are fewer school age children and the effect of the pandemic will have to be considered but it may mean that the pressure on secondary will start to ease, though would still expect both charters / kingsdale etc to be over subscribed. A niche catholic primary school closing isn't really an indicator of widespread lack of demand.

Riding a moped along a pavement isn't acceptable. Driving dangerously isn't acceptable. Its not a 'none event' - he has the capacity to kill someone. I've seen him often - his antics make me wince and hope that if and more probably when he does inevitably crash that he doesn't injure others too.

Thank you - I guess its also once they've settled somewhere else that the move could be really disruptive.

Just on this - do you mean the place came up in Easter of the year your child started in year 7 please? oimissus Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > At the point of school offer day, we were around > 60 on the waiting list for Charter ED (we live > about 1.2km from the school). > > We elected to remain on the waiting list after > December, and at the end of the Easter term were > offered a place (which we eventually declined).

The maker posts on instagram as @postboxhappy I agree - they're lovely. I also love the fact they rotate them through locations as it spreads the joy!
