I?m not starting the threads. Just appealing to people to stop creating new ones all the time. Very happy to debate, but would be good if it could be done in one place.

I think we only need someone to create 1 more thread on this topic and we'll be in to double digits. At the current rate of growth we should be looking at a name change to 'the LTN ranting forum' by the end of this month.

Oh great. The ever multiplying number of LTN threads are now leaking from the General section into the lounge.

I rely on the thermostat to turn the heating on when it gets cold, regardless of the season. Usually have it set for 19 during the day and 16 at night.

... or alternatively just rename the 'General Ed issues / gossip' section, 'the LTN ranting' section.

It's possible to feel strongly about something without constantly starting new threads on the same topic.

They should separate the two area and make the drop down bit a cafe with a front opening up on the playground side.

Great painting.

I don't even know what this means. The point is, one doesn't need to create a new thread every time they want to comment on LTNs, either for or against. There are at least half a dozen separate threads on the topic already.

Blimey - that's an impressive bit of DIY KidKruger.

I really don't want to see Scotland leave the UK, just as I didn't want to see the UK leave the EU. But I think it's kind of inevitable that eventually Ireland will be reunited and Scotland will assert independence. I hope I'm wrong, but I can see years of slow decline ahead of us as a result of Brexit. I suspect our children's generation will not look back kindly on what has happened under our watch.

Or / and they should be encouraging e-hire bikes (such as Lime etc) which can be picked up and left at your destination without having to actually own your own bike. Would enable a lot more people to make short journeys easily and conveniently. Brent did a deal with Lime to bring them to their area. If you added in a segregated bike lane down EDG to connect to Railton LTN and the tube at Brixton, it would massively reduce journey times into central London from these parts.

Another thread to discuss LTNs / opposition to LTNs? Really?

I was also thinking about the old Hepworth the other day when walking through the park. So sad that it was stolen. Didn't realise the spirals are collapsing - that's not good. For what it's worth, I quite like the sculptures.

Inside72 was great. The Drum was underrated too in my opinion.

Paris is proposing to close a large central area to most traffic (about the size of the area contained within the circle line in London). It's nothing to do with road layout.

Mad looking back at this. Black Cherry, Inside 72, the Drum and Liquorish all gone sadly.

Oh good. Another thread on LTNs. I was getting worried that we were in danger of being restricted to fewer than half a dozen different discussions making the same points.

Can we please stop creating new threads on LTNS? The General section is overrun with multiple threads making the same points. Surely we can limit the discussion to a single thread?

Any chance of consolidating the multiple threads on LTNS / Healthy Streets / Village 'closures' etc. Or simply locking all but one? The General section is overrun with different threads making the same points.

Its' really unreasonable. You should speak with the neighbour and perhaps some others nearby to see if they're being affected too. If there is a general consensus that it's causing a disturbance and the neighbours aren't doing anything, you could report it to the Southwark noise team. I really feel for you - it's horrible to have to get in to a dispute (no matter how friendly) with a neighbour. It's very unfair of them to put you in such a position by imposing themselves on others in the way described.
