  1. Mine says 30 first mate. This makes for very interesting reading. http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/documents/s47378/Report.pdf
  2. I found this online. http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/documents/s47378/Report.pdf
  3. At last the signage is improving though more needs to be done to communicate the change. How about some nice big banners on the buses?
  4. I just don't get the slapdash, piecemeal implementation. It looks more like a diy effort by disgruntled residents than a carefully considered plan of action carried out by a professional body. Southwark Council? More like Bodgett & Cockup.
  5. Bobbsy was this in the actual real 20 zone between roundabout and police station or somewhere on Lorsdhip Lane which is not signed as 20 mph unless you count the incorrect signs at some side road junctions?
  6. It's confusing, dangerous and quite frankly ridiculous. Joining Lordship Lane from Mount Adon the sign says 20, yet traffic is whizzing along at 30. Are they all in the wrong? Will they get tickets? Doubt it because there aren't actually any signs to tell them limit is 20 mph. Because it isn't. So, now people will get in the habit of ignoring signs because they can't trust them to display the correct information. Shambolic mess.
  7. Hi James As far as I'm aware the 20 mph speed limit on Lordship Lane applies to the section between the old Police Station and Goose Green roundabout, so why does it say 20mph on the reverse of the entry signs? There's also one on the junction of Mount Adon Park and Lordship Lane, sure there are others too.

  9. Add chopped onions and/or your choice of seasoning or not as the mood takes you. Delicious!
  10. contact a family are a great organisation, as well as providing information and support they can, as their name suggests, put you in touch with other families (with both parties permission). http://www.cafamily.org.uk They also have drop in advice sessions, Sunshine House being one of the locations http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200279/parenting_support_and_courses/2481/contact_a_family_drop_in_-_under_fives/2
  11. It's a tricky one. Council are damned if they do and damned if they don't as there are no easy 'please all' answers. Sdrs makes a brilliant case for the tree to stay, and as someone who loves mature trees for their beauty and majesty, let alone the environmental benefits, it would be fantastic if the tree could stay, providing the householder's house and amenities are not in any danger and the council maintain the wall. But then what happens to the pedestrians, buggy and wheelchair users, sight impaired, and those people who have anxieties or/and learning or other disabilities and are either not able to negotiate the 'enclosed' space or need to be holding hands? It's not as if they can step into the road, or cross to the other side. So enlarge the pavement - oops, there go a couple of residents parking bays. Doesn't bother me, as I live the other end of Lordship Lane, but it will bother the residents. Well done on getting the stay of execution for this glorious tree in order that everyone's views can be heard and given equal merit. Although I don't live local to the tree, my son used to attend Dog Kennel Hill up until a couple of years ago and I am familiar with the area.
  12. Hi, Not sure about in Dulwich, but this is a Peckham based group that offer support and therapy. http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200279/parenting_support_and_courses/2388/downs_south_london/1
  13. Belated Birthday greetings Shorty. Hope you had a great Birthday and that you and Mrs Shorty had a wonderful time celebrating!

  15. There's always someone who lowers the tone ...!
  16. I have neither mentioned nor sanctioned parking illegally whether children have SEN or not.

  18. Not ignoring. Busy. There are many forms of disability, not all of them physical, not all of them visible. An SEN can be a disability in as much as it can be a barrier to access something such as education, social events and interacting with the community. To answer your question, a child with say a learning disability which is classed as having special education needs, may be capable of walking but may refuse to do so. They may choose to walk on tiptoes and/or backwards. Maybe the child has no fear or understanding of danger and could run into the road at anytime, despite having their hand held. There are many reasons why a child who has SEN may need to be driven to school besides the reasons of distance, going on to work etc that any parent may face. Could be that after struggling to get the child to co-operate with getting ready for school, eat breakfast or even leave the house the parent/carer is to exhausted to try and face the ordeal of walking.
  19. Your rudeness and ignorance is breathtaking. LadyDeliah Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > So because their SEN, they can't walk?

  21. How about an overnight at Chessington World of Adventure? Theme park closed but zoo & Sea Life open. Entrance included plus breakfast with Elves and a visit to Father Christmas with gift from ?119 for a family of four. Blooming bargain! http://holidayinnchessington.co.uk/christmas/christmas-2012.aspx
