How have the roads not been gritted exactly? Have Southwark not been watching the news? They really are a shower.

Lot's of snow down in Brighton

I was thinking of men's clothes shops. There is ED, but it's expensive. White Stuff is just awful for men's clothes. would be good to have somewhere else. Certainly better than a large, chain coffee shop.

I think Costa started in Lambeth too. So a South London success story. That said, I still don't think we need them on Lordship Lane. Would be good to have a clothes shop.

This has always been the problem in SE London. The rest of the Capital has public transport designed around the needs of the local community. We are only served by suburban commuter trains, which are run primarily in the interests of those travelling into Central London from Surrey and Kent. We are the only part of the Capital without Boris Bikes, without a cycle superhighway and with virtually no underground system. It's also being made more and more difficult to use private transport.

Yep

If true, it sounds completely ridiculous.

5 cycle superhighways - none in SE London hundreds of bike docking stations - none in SE London A couple of hundred tube stations and only 4 in SE London (outside of Zone 1) How can we get people out of their cars? I know, making driving a little more difficult will do it.

oh dear, oh dear.

I wonder how much it would cost to provide proper, secure bike parking at Brixton tube, as opposed to all the yellow line, speed bumps etc that are scattered around our area? I suspect the former would do more to reduce local car journeys than the latter ever will.

A bus which takes an hour to get into central London, is not equal to a tube service which turns up ever few minutes and take 10 to get into the west end (for example). Personally, I would like to see some Boris bikes at least, so that one could cycle to brixton tube - or just some secure bike parking at Brixton.

There is a massive hole in the tube network over SE London. There is a massive hole in the Boris bike network over SE London. How about fixing one, or both of these things before piling on more restrictions on private transport?

This is rather all rather meta.

Yeah, that's fair enough, except if they're bringing them to school then that does effect everyone else. I can't see any good reason for kids to have mobiles in school personally.

I?m fairly sure they don?t need a phone. It?s also arguably the case that carrying a phone makes them less safe. I would like to see all schools banning them personally.

But this is not a rational exercise.

I don't understand why they are they allowed in schools?

The measurements look to be all over the place too. Some much longer than others, or stretch further round the corner in one direction. All very odd.

Doesn't mean they won't issue a fine, but you would likely be able to challenge it successfully. Still best not to park there though.

Well done for intervening.
