In our case the startling similarity between Southwark? HLS scheme and current LTN measures, the former already being pushed well before Covid struck, begs a few questions.

Sue is quite right to complain. Complacency and hoping things will all work out is not the way to go. It seems the result Sue was seeking is better training of delivery staff by Tesco. At no point does she ask for the guy to get sacked. The notion that we should not complain if we witness irresponsible and potentially risky behaviour is wrongheaded.

Me too.

What a surprise. The sudden price hike, I mean.

Do the Council always shut down petitions once a certain number is achieved? I guess they ran the risk of many more people signing and an even bigger figure would be bad PR for their LTN approach.

Oh lord, he is the very last person you?d want involved.

I think the figures have been corrected as the numbers signing went up then down again, so the existing figure is probably genuine. People can share an IP address.

Yet more inane stereotyping.

Slarti b?s assertions are worth further scrutiny though.

It does seem likely the council have justified certain interventions with misleading stats and you are quite right to question and pursue this. The idea that only those with qualifications in traffic management can ?understand? sounds a bit desperate. slarti b Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Dogkennelhillbilly Wrote: > -------------------------------------------------- > ----- > What I like is the prospect of OneDulwich - > entirely unqualified in traffic management and > > environmental monitoring - bickering over > pollution measurement methodologies. > > The OHS agenda and the subsequent so called > "Covid" measures have been driven by the local > councillors.

What is the latest on the Southwark Road Closure petition? I cannot now seem to get the links that were working to direct to the right information, instead they are linking to a Southwark minutes and meetings, which is very odd. Can someone post up a link that works and latest count please?

Wow, is that really true? Presumably Melbourne residents doing this were probably against CPZ? Cannot believe anyone would vote in all day CPZ and then go and park for free in a neighbouring non CPZ street. However, if this is happening in any numbers it makes you wonder if it was a majority who wanted CPZ in Melbourne Grove?

Perfect.

Seems plausible enough.

Other large sectionS of the park are given over for recreational use by children, parents and younger people: football, other sports, adventure playground, large children?s playground and you?d begrudge one tiny area being set aside for those, probably older, who want something more sedate? Your provocative use of language indicates you are trolling again but just in case you are really serious then think again.

Yes, perhaps one or a handful of residents supported by pro CPZ campaigners from outside the area. My only point is that the ?interference? of outsiders charge cuts both ways.

Indeed, a final say like should the hours be time limited or all day but the fact that there will be CPZ at all is a result of all stages of consultation.

Not sure that is the case and if it was why would the extremely well informed SC urge members outside of borough consultation areas to get involved and submit?

Well, hitherto, consultations in favour of CPZ have been bulked out by cyclists well out of the area. Southwark cyclists and LCC actively encourage their members to participate in CPZ consultations much further afield.
