Thank you James for all your hard work. I am really gutted that you didn?t get voted back in. All the best.

I regularly see two small cars taking up enough space for three big vehicles. There is always going to be some underutilisation of space, but by marking out regular spaces, I think over all you would see an increase in capacity across an entire street.

I'm not suggesting meters, or any enforcement. Just that by marking out spaces, you encourage people to park tighter together. That's why I said 'nudge'. My road regularly has cars almost an extra car length apart from one another. If you marked spaces, I believe you would reduce the number of people doing this. Could always pilot it on one street and see what impact it has on behaviour.

How about marking car distances, to encourage people not to park with 3/4 of a car length between them and the nearest vehicle. A bit of a 'nudge' to use the available space more efficiently. I reckon you could get several more cars on every street in Dulwich by doing just this.

By 'regulating the service', don't they just mean 'slowing every bus to the worst on the route'.

Oh FFS. Just keep your dog on a lead when you're in a 'dog's on lead' area. Be respectful of other people and try not to impose yourself, or your pooch on others in ways which they may not appreciate. It's pretty simple.

It's OK. Dave on Twitter, has this all covered. Chuka Umunna on @SkyNews going on about letting the people decide the type of Brexit we finish up with. The people have already decided Chuka. Brexit that means Brexit. Simple.— Dave Roberts.🇬🇧 (@Bolddigger52) April 20, 2018

More of a problem for commuters than staff, I > would think, unless its an all day CPZ . So School staff will have 'to park outside someone else's house'? Nice. Why would a CPZ only effect commuters exactly?

The kerb is really low. I wouldn't have thought there'd be any difficulty in pushing a buggy up it.

Well done Stringvest for stepping in with those kids.

.. that said, you may need to check what the minimum age is for HoVs

Recommend House of Vans in Waterloo. They have free lessons on Saturday and Sunday morning and provide all the equipment (you have to book though). Also have a cinema there which shows kids films on Sunday. https://houseofvanslondon.com/

Possibly the result of Thames Water's interventions in the park? http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1346873,1346897#msg-1346897

No wonder they're so brazen if that's the police (lack of) response.

Totally agree with Robbin's post above.
