When someone calls their own views balanced they often mean they consider other peoples views unbalanced that may not be the case. 

one mans 'balanced view' ...

Malumbo could you correct your post above where you say that St Aidan’s does not have access to Forest Hill Road.  Because it does.

Brockwell Park first, maybe Peckham Rye  next??

Go and look at kitchens on right move in houses over say 1.5. Most of them will have a side return extensions many will have used architects nevertheless they all look more or less the same.

It’s the predictability and repetitiveness of the posters. Does anyone actually change their mind on this forum?

Creating a false division doesn’t help looking at spending priorities might

That makes total sense, doesn’t explain why that treacherous corner on East Dulwich grove and lordship lane remains or why  the harvester crossing has taken maybe 30 years or more to sort.

And close to the controlled crossing at Oglander too - that's a lot of crossings in a short stretch of road - the new one does make a lot of sense in terms of location but will the council need to remove one of the others?

😃

Pedestrian crossing always good. pavement widening unnecessary expense unless Dulwich Hamlet is paying for it

Walking in the park today I was struck by how much bigger the footprint of the event looks and how that will impact the park. I guess it is only when you see it all being cordoned off that you realise. It feels like all the playing fields will be impacted to some extent.

There is another area  being cordoned off at the other end of the park, close to Harris Girls. Does anyone know if this is temporary and to do with the event delivery juggernauts (so green, so environmentally friendly) or something unrelated?

That chosen route for heavy traffic is the longest possible distance and most disruptive route. 

Hmm they seem to disappear in the winter - and there are some who say that terrapins are a kind of turtle. 

The terrapins have been there for years - I saw another in the pond recently. Did it walk over?

It was never busy I think the footfall promise failed,  I do remember a cheese street market business moved there but then moved back to the street markets. The overhead was higher and the profit was lower.

First Tower Hamlets then Lambeth. 

Yes that’s true but bridge was still closed. (Yesterday)

The hyper-focus on one tiny part of Dulwich seems to have become an obsession for some people.

Wouldn’t it be lovely if Southwark produced  a colour-coded map showing spending.

Whose priorities?

Peckham Rye station is operated by Southern Railway. Southwark Council doesn’t own or operate the station, and it can't force Southern or anyone else to install lifts at the station.

I'd love there to be lifts at Peckham Rye. It would be very expensive.

The changes to the station need planning permission, given by Southwark Council. But anyway, any new build in public space is going to include access for all. 

You clearly don’t know Peckham Rye station there are lifts but they’re not available to the public. Actually, they were  briefly made available when the art exhibition was on.  Priorites again. 

It’s just the way things are prioritised how much was spent on revamping that waiting room to show exclusive art shows while  there are still no usable lifts to the platforms

I think the thread title is a bit overdramatic there’s thousands of CICs in the UK.  Hopefully, I don’t sound naive when I say that sometimes this sort of set up is a way to reach hard to reach people without the bureaucracy of more formal organisations.

It just strikes me as strange that you persist with these posts that make political and other assumptions about cyclists and drivers, very divisive and often insulting. And then you take offence when someone responds.
 

Maybe 10 years ago, an adult would rarely cycle on the pavement now respectable men and women will be riding along on the pavements without hardly a swerve to avoid pedestrians It’s quite unnerving.  It has somehow been legitimised.
