Whilst I appreciate the point you're making and I know it wasn't intended to be an accurate indication of where the intersect is, I don't actually think it overlaps as much as that shows. The address for Charter 1 (North) is the end of the driveway closer to the village - but its slightly more west than that - so think it could actually cut out more of the East Dulwich roads that are shown in the segment (eg Ashbourne, Chesterfield, Derwent etc) and therefore the overlapping bit really isn't so huge.

There was a previous thread on here a while ago about a stabbing on Glengarry and there was CCTV of that - not sure where it came from but wondered if it could be helpful here? /forum/read.php?5,1944498,1944631#msg-1944631

Sorry to hear that. Maybe post details of the bike and phone that were stolen too? Hope he?s ok though. Assume you have reported it?

I think they were looking for new premises, but don't have further info - maybe their website has info?

The East Dulwich piano school was always in the same building as 'Captured on the Rye' - they just had the back room. Understand they've now expended - might mean they have more capacity though.

without getting into whether its sinister or not - I'm still not clear how anyone wanting to would get in touch with the 'EDIBA'?

A few points on the comments above: 1. It would indeed be massively concerning if 4000 people instantly stopped shopping on Lordship Lane as a result of the CPZ - catastrophic in fact. But no one is saying that they will and conflating 'I got here by car, and / or and would prefer there not to be controls on parking' with 'and if there is I will never come here again' is a leap! 2. The VRA has not been "campaigning for a CPZ". Their response was shared widely around the houses in their area and was supportive of the consultation, but their aims were more around ensuring that the needs of local businesses were met (eg suggesting longer unpaid times in the 'short stay' bays to better reflect the needs of the businesses as well as suggestions like reducing yellow lines by driveways to maintain spaces). 3. There is a separate group for those in favour of a CPZ on the roads surrounding East Dulwich station. This group has a twitter feed and email address and is by no means anonymous. It has had representatives speaking at council meetings and sent a deputation to the council assembly.

It has a website - you could google it. But in summary - its on Dulwich village, at the moment the queues are way shorted than William Rose, and yes it does other meats not just pig related. Can't comment on relative quality as I don't eat meat but others in my family have found it good.

I think that Southwark only publish the data for the local authority schools (of which there are very few)! otherwise its down to each school to release this data. If there are specific schools you are interested in the best approach might be to ask them.

Friends had good results with thumb guards though their kids were older. Not sure how well they work with 3 year olds?

You need to look at the proposals for the street you are concerned about on this. Herne Hill May all be resident or pay and display, the East Dulwich cpz were a mix of pay and display only, resident only, and pay and display and residents only. The latter category would be affected in the scenario you describe.

In addition to the ideological issues with this on a taxing basis, charging for brown bins on garden waste is the most nonsensical bin to charge for (apart from the obvious easy target!) It is my understanding that garden waste is taken to large compost bins and then sold back to us so essentially in reducing the amount of garden waste collected there will be less compost available? In addition, the most likely outcome for some people will be to hide this in their other bins or to hard landscape their gardens (Fake grass / decking / concrete) all of which will have a negative impact on the biodiversity of our area. To the extent that the council wanted to influence behaviour they'd be looking for differential charging on green bins as the non recyclable waste. Charging for brown bins is just a backward step here.

Totally agree re the black cabs point - they are driving around continually and claims such as 'all new cabs licensed have to meet the standard' misses the point It shows how strong the cabbie lobby is though! To be clear - i'm in favour of measures to reduce pollution, so would prefer the ULEZ to go further in its application rather than be scrapped on account of its failings

Thats true - its often better for trips away to hire a car for a defined period. There are now lots of companies who will deliver to your door and collect too so its more convenient but it is a case of looking at it in the round as to whether its cost effective (if thats the criteria that you're using).

Musico south are an agency who will match you to teachers - might be worth giving them a call. Also probably worth specifying whether both children are beginners or not?

I know, that is an option - but its not really work that i'm concerned about - more when i'm out and about going to things like kids parties, shopping, gyms etc. A folding bike would address this for now, though there are a limit as to how many places can accommodate folding bikes and they're also impractical to have with you when you go to places like supermarkets, but it would be nice to feel confident that you could return to it without components having been stripped off! Anyway - it seems like there aren't a group out there targeting kryptonite type D locks for now on a daily basis so will just stick with that. Mick Mac - hope you manage to get new bikes and sorry again to hear you had two stolen so close together it really is so annoying!

I also think that there is a big difference to the OP who is asking whether there is likely to be a scrappage scheme to help get older more polluting vehicles off the road, vs petitions to get rid of the ULEZ. Relying on people's willingness to use cars less and car manufacturers to reduce emissions has clearly failed. Looking at daily air pollution reports, we are in a crisis situation. Whilst its clear that ULEZ on its own won't address the problems in their entirety, something has to be the first step and anything that makes people question whether the journey they are about to undertake in their car is required or could be managed in a different way could be an important step in improving air quality.

have you checked on the portal that you will actually need to pay for your car? Petrol cars can be quite old and still qualify. I do agree though that if the scheme is to meet its objectives a scrappage scheme would escalate this.

Thanks for letting us know. Hope you can replace them with something good - there have been quite a few ladies bikes on here recently. To the poster who said 'no wonder your bikes are getting stolen' - whilst its true that combination locks aren't the most secure method, we all know that there are hierarchies of bike theft from opportunistic theft where unlocked bikes are taken on a whim, through to targeted ones and so it was useful to understand what was in play here (and probably some middle ground - ie not walking around with an angle grinder, but also not just opportunistic!) I also think that until bike theft is taken more seriously - both from a policing perspective (which given cuts will be difficult) but also and more relevant, from second hand trading platforms such as gumtree then moves to get people to use cycling as a more'primary' mode of transport will fail. I cycle to and from school, but as soon as i have to leave my bike in public anywhere i'm reluctant in case it or some component of it has disappeared when i get back.

I've had 2 home births. Whilst I've never actually managed to 'give birth' in it - first time I got out just before and second time it wasn't even fully inflated in time, I would still recommend. Not least because it gives your other half a 'task' which can be helpful! If it works out, its lovely, if it doesn't its a drop in the ocean compared to the cost of having a child!

Thanks - thats what i have and was hoping it was a sufficient deterrent, but wondered if that was misplaced?

Or install cctv over your front garden?

Also- would you mind letting us know what type of locks you had on them please? Assuming they were just cut through so would be interested to know what type so I can consider increasing locking on ours?

Removing the automatic sibling priority would seem sensible at secondary though to get away from the problem where people get one child into a secondary and then have another 10 years of school places from the next 2 even if they move significantly out of the area. Whilst I recognise that its nice to have your kids at the same school and is what we'd all want, unless there are specific needs that make independent travel etc unfeasible, the sibling priority isn't as critical as at primary. In addition, in an area where there are a high number of single sex schools the sibling criteria is even more ridiculous. I have a boy and a girl so why is their need for a sibling place lesser than in a family with two girls or two boys? Also, whilst I understand the frustration whereby others seemingly have 'a choice' of schools, its worth noting that the greatest distance for some like charter is tiny in a lot of years (partially because of the point I note above re siblings!) so those who seemingly would have a 'choice' may not. Also the distance varies significantly year on year.
