COVID-19 hasn?t gone away and we need to continue to make more space on our pavements for social distancing, to help keep everyone safe.? Southwark Council?s statement re. Rye Lane, made this week.

?It is also important to remember that COVID-19 hasn?t gone away and we need to continue to make more space on our pavements for social distancing, to help keep everyone safe.? ?Except on Lordship Lane.

They can be pretty intrusive. Catapult not a bad idea.

My main problem with Gails is the way they treated Brick House and how they left the site empty for so long. Pretty shoddy imo. Brick were a great, local, independent business. Didn?t know the other stuff about their owner, but makes sense. They generally seem like dcks.

Cars prioritised over pedestrians. Lordship Lane doesn?t need more cars.

At weekends there are large queues there for the Ice Cream Shop, the fishmongers and the cheese shop, as well as queues for the bakery. Where before there would have been 20-30 people, there will now be 4 or 5 cars. It seems like an odd use of space and I don't imagine for a moment that it'll increase business.

So sorry to hear this. Thoughts go out to friends and family.

Might be a good. Certainly worth piloting. I would like to see North Cross Road improved too though. They should permanently pedestrianise it and put in more landscaping, seating etc.

I won't go to Gail's.

I take it back. The line of parked cars actually extend out further than the pavement extension did. Why did they close the bus stop in the first place?

The parked cars that have replaced the extended pavement are exactly the same width. The pavement just replaced the parking. There is no reason why we couldn't have had a wider pavement and had the bus stop in operation.

I dunno, I'm a pedestrian and it gets really busy outside that row of restaurants / shops even with the extended pavement. I would like it kept personally. Can't be the only pedestrian. I would be surprised if the businesses want the pavement narrowed there too tbh.

It?s really busy with people there at weekends. All giving way for 5 or 6 parked cars.

They?re removing the extended pavement on the other side by the look o things. Presumably to be replaced by parked cars. Real shame. Not sure why Southwark wouldn?t have made this permanent. It?s very narrow outside the cafes / food shops without it.

I must of missed the research that shows an increase in road capacity reduces the number of car journeys and increases active travel. If you can point me to it, I'll look at it with an open mind.

The government really need to be clear what the strategy is. It seems likely they're looking to vaccinate as many over 18s and those in vulnerable groups as possible and letting everyone else catch it, in the hope that we reach 'herd immunity'. If so, then they need to spell it out. If that is not the plan, then I don't understand what the hell Johnson is up to, because opening up right now doesn't make any sense.

I have absolutely no reason to think you?ll accept any data that does not show what you want it to. You?ve dismissed TfL data, freely available in it?s entirety. You?ve pretty much rubbished all the research on active travel. I could produce a glossy pamphlet with ?open everything to cars and the air will be clear and traffic a thing of the past? if you want 🤷 in fact I think One Dulwich already have some.

FFS. Just watched this. "might have been foreseeable"... you think?

Summary graphics attached. 24,000 fewer vehicles across the whole area. 3,400 more cycles a day.

Exactly this. Which is the real reason that One Dulwich are calling for people to support a 'return to the current state'. The reality is that Low Traffic Neighbourhoods boost cycling and reduce traffic. If you're in favour of that, then you should generally be in favour of LTNs
