Yes all round, keep the ideas flowing and tell the local schools

Penguin68 make sure you say "BYE" and we'll miss you! My son's 20 and he grew up seeing and talking to Mr. Crust outside the Goodrich School. Get the word out! Tell everyone to stop him and shake his hand. Let's make this MASSIVE

Adrian Crust is retiring! He has been the Bobby on the Beat in East Dulwich for decades. He has ASKED to stay in East Dulwich and they let him which is very unusual. My son grew up with him standing outside Goodrich School talking to the kids and I'll bet a lot of you and your children know him as well We've been asked to think of something and what came up was "gift vouchers" for a meal or more at restaurants on Lordship Lane. I was thinking that a restaurant might even step forward and offer a gift voucher to him as they all know him. Any ideas? Do you run a restaurant or know anyone who does? This man gave his working life to walking up and down our streets. It has to happen this week! Think fast and offer things directly to him or club together. Let's inundate him with thanks!

Hi James, I voted for you and not just to get you to answer this question: People on UplandRoad have been using a Brown Bin by the Goodrich School as an everything bin full of whatever. I pulled it over to mine and taped a note explaining the obvious: Please empty with the Green Bins as this is every sort of waste Well, today was Green Bin Day. The bin collectors ripped off the note dropped that on the ground and left the full of waste Brown Bin How to get this wrongly used brown bin collected as general waste? Thanks

Hi CSI99, all the recent wind knocked your ariel off its perch?

contact any councillor for an anchor: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

I shall tear off my mask: I'm asking for a shy friend! I suggested s/he check his/her fuse box. So I agree with you all. Next stop is going over to their house and just doing all the obvious checks myself. loads of bright red blushes

Please! Anyone else experiencing NO TV AT ALL black screen north of Goose Green? It's not just me and I'm certain my TV isn't broken. Black Screen for days now

This was discussed in detail at the East Dulwich Ward meeting Wednesday night Barry Road Church. East Dulwich Councillors to lead on private anchor points in front gardens ( please contact your councillors for these Asaph they're available I believe for free!) and also more street concentrated anchor points like the one where Lordship Lane and Northcross meet at the Pub

Adding to the eclectic mix I'll say: everyone read Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book ASAP! Buy it for yourself, your kids and everyone in between. The wild precious space frozen by a quirk of time in cemeteries needs to be locked fast for eternity. No more six foot cement slabs. Long live Southwark's 100 Acre Woods

As you weigh all the facts Renata and Gavin and Victoria and James try to find some wonderful middle ground of wild and wildlife and safety (is it possible? I hope so) What about lights just before the crest of the hill both sides? That might reduce light pollution Thanks for picking up on this. When the police ask for help I think we need to listen

I'll wade into this. I'll start by a broad brush everyone wants to fix and clean and the council's prime imperative is to build housing. But how to is reflected in the immediate vitriol of just 10 posts above. ISIS has a fixed point in time we all have to conform to or die brutal deaths. We don't live that way. But cleaning and fixing a high street is complex and expensive. Peckham Vision has tried to find a balanced, well, vision. Peckham (and the whole of London)is a place with existing examples of built history covering at least 400 years. Highlights of Art Deco, The Train Station and its extraordinary Waiting Room, examples of Industry and trains lines beg us to reclaim them as rebuilt and refurbished use or as new use by turning elevated train track into a skyline garden walk (cheaper and better and for everyone everyday use not the special interest public money garden bridge boondoggle). And the sky line and sight lines from the centre of Peckham: Don't Build 30 story concrete rectangles on Morrison's Parking Lot and on the Canal Path Come to the next Co-Design (which exists only because of Peckham's Vision). Making History in real time with everyone included is very very complex that's why politicians rarely do it and the worst of them just exploit hate and fear and prejudice to simplistic cement the world over and exploit resources for the short term. 16th April 18:30 Peckham Co-Design All Saints Church Hall and you'll see what's happening. Knowledge does have the remarkable effect of knocking the wind out of sails and people riding high on horses to the ground (or tilting at windmills or expounding and pontificating from their armchairs)

Very tall and in her 20's

EDF has provided exactly what everyone praises it for across London (seriously!) A Complete Picture. I'm going to copy and paste for the police involved. Thank you James and Mugglesworth now I know the history and I see all the conflicts. I can imagine some ways round that might strike a balance and it could be in a new application to CGS a balance might be struck that preserves rare and valuable wild and dark space and a bit more just a bit more comfort if that's the word

Siduhe at the Ward meeting at the Ivy House last night, Wednesday the 1st (omg it's all a hoax!) a lot of police were present and there are usually the ward councillors but there's a political rule that close to an election they don't promise things they might not be able to deliver as they might be voted out. It's called purda! As this forum can deliver a range of voices I took the initiative to post here rather than email "privately" . In fact, I don't live right there and I was rather hoping that someone who felt galvanised might run with this as a bite sized improvement whose time had come.

Thanks aquarius moon, that opens up some ideas: levelling and a light at the top?

I take the police and their concerns at face value: a female officer at the Ward Meeting across from the path said she works that patch and she said she finds the lack of lighting makes the area feel unsafe and makes her job harder. Other people at the Ward meeting agreed. jctg you seem to live right there and from your post I assume you use the path with some frequency including in the dark, you directly dispute this police officer and it seems from your post you do not want to have the area along the path lit. That's great input. The reason I've posted is to get comments and hopefully Renata will weigh in on this. While I wish we lived entirely with nature and dark and light as the earth revolves and winds its way around the sun, in reality in a city I will not go down a dark street at night. I accept without comment a police officer telling me that she needs light to do her work and she needs the public to ask for it to be installed by the relevant authority.

Blah Blah it's the police who have asked that this be taken to the public. I have it from a woman officer that she feels very exposed when she has to work there and she's has to help parents with children negotiate the path in the dark. The police cannot ask for something like lighting, it has to come from the public and other stakeholders through politicians and applications for money. Maybe this could be cleaner greener safer in the area? Renata?

The Brockley Footpath needs lighting! It's a wonderful wild and very long footpath which runs North to South between Nunhead Cemetery along one whole side and Allotments and the Thames Reservoir along the other. Police are constantly dealing with anti-social behaviour in the dark, dealing with people causing trouble breaking fences into the Reservoir. This is the turf of Councillors Edwards, Hamvas and Mills and MP Jowell (who has stopped taking questions I believe) What do the Friends of Nunhead Cemetery think? I hope this is a good place to get the ball rolling on this. The issue of lighting was raised at the Peckham Rye Ward Meeting by the police themselves.

I think the only solution to this is CCTV. Anyone else? And then the tape goes to the police.

Speeding on Lordship Lane at the Upland Road junction and curve south to Forest Hill continues unabated. Why would anyone stop is they're not told to by an "authority". And so we wait for the next child or elderly person to die and send a tiny ripple in the placid calm of TFL and Southwark Council

James Barber: Crystal Palace and Upland Road is unacceptable. Don't quite know how they could rearrange but what they've taken and how they use public space is very dangerous

Please bring your families to this demonstration on November 15th PROGRAMME 12 noon ? Gather at Bedford Square, WC1B 1:00pm ? Procession leaves 2:00pm ? Die-in & rally at Marble Arch: ? placing the coffin ? wreath laying ? die-in ? rally 3:00pm ? End. People are being hit by drivers of cars and buses every single day in london. They are dying and having life changing accidents. It is almost instantaneously preventable if we tweak design and modify habits. For some unfathomable reason TFL and a range of politicians would rather set us at each others throats than spend allocated budgets to build great infrastructure. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/woman-cyclist-crushed-under-tipper-truck-at-ludgate-circus-dies-in-hospital-9806200.html http://stopthekilling.org.uk THE 10 DEMANDS 1. Stop the Killing of Children ? set up a national, multi-billion pound programme to convert residential communities across Britain into living-street Home Zones and abolish dangerous rat-runs. 2. Stop the Killing of Pedestrians ? establish a national programme to fund pedestrianisation of our city and town centres, including the nation?s high-street, Oxford Street. 3. Stop the Killing of Pensioners from excessive speed ? introduce and enforce speed limit of 20 mph on all urban roads, 40 mph on rural roads/lanes and 60 mph on all other trunk roads. 4. Stop the Killing of Cyclists ? invest ?15 billion in a National Segregated Cycle Network over the next 5 years. 5. Stop the Killing by HGVs ? ban trucks with blind spots by making safety equipment mandatory and strictly enforce current truck-safety regulations, to reduce levels of illegally dangerous trucks down from estimated 30% to less than 1%. 6. Stop the Killing without liability ? introduce a presumed civil liability law on behalf of vehicular traffic when they kill or seriously injure vulnerable road-users, where there is no evidence blaming the victim. 7. Stop the Killing from Lung, Heart and other Diseases caused by vehicular pollutants ? make it mandatory for particulate filters that meet latest EU emission standards to be fitted to all existing buses, lorries and taxis. 8. Stop the Killing at Junctions ? introduce pedestrian crossing times long enough for elderly disabled to cross. Legalise filtered junction crossings by cyclists with strict legal priority for pedestrians and carry out urgent programme of physically protected left-hand turns for cyclists. 9. Stop the Killing from Climate Crisis caused by CO2 emissions ? all transport fuels to be from truly environmentally-sustainable, renewable sources within 10 years. 10. Focus on Life! ? Transport governance must make safety and quality of life the top priority. Reform all council transport departments, the Department of Transport and Transport for London into Cycling, Walking and Transport Departments with formal pedestrian and cyclist representation.

The reallocation has to be SEGREGATED, protected space and cyclists must not be put into direct conflict with pedestrians through parks: that will end in tears and abuse
