Thanks for sharing, Rockets.

The problem to the same extent? No. This simply gives Thames Water a get-out from sorting out their side of the issue and blaming Londoners. They need to get their house in order first. Do you genuinely not see the hypocrisy? I got my leaflet on about the third day of water pouring down the street where I live in Peckham. Three days it took Thames Water to deal with that massive loss of water.

I still think it's a bit rich for a water company that itself wastes *millions of litres of water a day* to start slapping the wrist of its customers for apparently wasting water, as though the customers are the problem, not them. If they can demonstrate that Londoners waste as much water through unnecessary usage as they do through leaks they'd have more of an argument.

If you can find one that accepts NHS patients (which I believe all children should be) then let me know!

12 year old here 1. bedtime is 9.30pm on a school night, any time between 10 and 11pm other times (she's always been a night owl). 2. I try to limit screen time during term but it runs a bit amok at other times, but I try to limit the iPad (which will be mainly watching drivel on YouTube) to around an hour. There are limits built in. Not so fussed about gaming or TV. Doesn't do much on her phone. 3. Rules - not much really - no personal screens before homework finished in the week/after dinner in the week. I never had house rules growing up, but was pretty well behaved (I think!).

That was daft of her but she actually has right of way now. Something I'm guessing the OP was unaware of. There are good things in the new Highway Code but the fact that it's come into force 2 weeks before the government start their information campaign is crazy. The publicity campaign should have started at least a month ago.

maybe add a photo?

Agree 100%, but that it exactly what I think we'll get, unless Labour have learnt their lessons from parachuting in Ms Sultana and her colleague Ms Whittome.

Harriet Harman was terrified of being de-selected by the ultra left-wing CLP. I hope that we get someone who knows and understands what a woman is and why that matters, but I'm not holding my breath. You would think that the most senior woman in Parliament, who has written a book called A Woman's Place, would have stood alongside her colleague Rosie Duffield, but see my first point.

My last couple of trips on buses have been a nightmare - one to take my daughter to an appointment at St Thomas's involved the bus unexpectedly terminating early, and the next being held for inspectors (accompanied by a lot of police, because that's how well the citizens of south east London take to being asked to show their ticket) holding the next bus at a stop for quite a while. And let's consider those citizens, with their mobiles blaring out music, TV or Granny on a video call for the whole bus to hear - must be some kind of shortage of headphones round here. If only phones came with free headphones... oh wait, they do. And let's not get started on the lack of masks, smelly food, feet on seats, general aggression and rudeness to any of those being challenged, however politely. I would love to use buses more, they are a truly democratic mode of transport. But unless those things get sorted, and let's face it, the latter has only got worse over the years, I'll stick to other ways of getting about including, yes, my car.

Not sure which DMC is being referred to but the one on Chadwick Road is awful. I'm looking around for a new surgery and had heard OK things about St Giles, but you have to be on the right 'side' of it, I think?

malumbu - I've seen you frequently ask people for solutions, and yet every time they do just that, you criticize them. You actually seem to want everyone to stop criticizing the council and then just shut up. Which sounds pretty much like what the council want residents to do as well.

Preferred pronouns Assigned at birth Just no.

Is there a high demand? The birth rate is dropping and previously oversubscribed schools are advertising vacancies.

Not Lordship Lane but there could do with being more bike locks by East Dulwich station/M&S/Grove Vale library - I think there are currently just 3 outside the station and one on the other side of the road. None by the library at all.

That's ridiculous. I would send that to the council and ask them how any motorist, even chugging along at 20mph, is meant to make head nor tail of that. If you are not local you wouldn't have a clue. I thought excessive street signage was meant to be a danger to road users? Maybe send it to the police as well to ask if they support this.

I agree with you, malumbu. Because of the ULEZ we bought a new (secondhand) car that would be OK - though our old car was on it's last legs anyway, having been bought brand new 16 years previously. My car now has such low emissions that I don't pay any vehicle tax. But I would still be fined for driving in the LTN. That is making traffic, rather than emissions, the issue. So I can see why so much discussion is around traffic data. And that is surely down to the cycling lobby, rather than public health with regards to pollution. If we want the conversation to be about pollution, emissions, public health and climate change, LTNs are not the answer. Because they penalise the 'cleaner' cars as much as the 'dirty'.

It?s a good idea but he may need to set something up himself, as mums have done for themselves in the past. Maybe he could print some flyers suggesting a meeting point and take it from there, it may take a while to bed in but if there?s demand it should be a success. Good luck to him!

It is the fact that blue badge holders weren?t considered at all that makes this particular LTN and its implementation absolutely unforgivable. This ?sensible concession? to exempt blue badge holders who live in Southwark is nothing of the kind - it?s the bare minimum any decent human being would have done in the first place. Aa PP says, is of no help to those blue badge holders in Lambeth bordering the LTN. And these are the actions of a Labour-run council.

Does anyone have any alternative suggestions for a good GP (especially one with good knowledge of the menopause) in the area of DMC Chadwick Road?

FYI for anyone else who?s interested, I?ve just had an email from them saying that it isn?t going ahead this year, but DKHAP are having a bonfire on Friday.

Does anyone know if this is going ahead this year? I can?t see anything in their website about it. Thanks!

I?m really sorry to hear that, positronic. I didn?t realise that blue badge holders weren?t exempt. As if life wasn?t difficult enough. I doubt that number of these vehicles makes that much impact with all the other older cars gone.
