It is completely out of control - the bike companies dump bikes anywhere they want. Nothing stopping people dumping them anywhere they want also. Lime is owned by American company - why on earth American billionaires are allowed to hijack whatever little public space is left in London? Picture attached is next to Old Vic.

Or turn it into affordable flats for local residents who are currently renting

Thanks Sue, still nit sure where to post. Anyway. With Starmer saying they want to build on green belt land, how can places like this been empty for years, not developed, redesigned etc.

Yeah? Can you post the links to other threads?

One Dulwich Campaign Update | 8 Nov Further controversy over the Dulwich Village junction re-design As reported in Southwark News, the Council has chosen to pave over the Dulwich Village junction with stone from Rajasthan in India, which has a carbon footprint up to four times greater than the traditional York stone agreed. The March 2024 decision document promised sustainable materials to reduce the impact of climate change. What went wrong? Separately, One Dulwich has raised community concerns about the the safety of the new junction with Southwark Highways. At a recent site meeting, Highways said that ‘education’ would persuade cyclists not to ride on the paved pedestrian area, but rejected the idea of either signs or a speed limit. When questioned about access for emergency vehicles, Highways said that a date had not yet been set for removing the bollards, and that the narrowness of the roadway was not a problem as fire engines and ambulances could mount the pavements. Disappearing documents Online links to Southwark’s documents about the Dulwich LTNs, including the Dulwich Streetspace Dashboard showing traffic data, are currently broken, apparently as a result of the council’s website redesign. We have asked for documents and data to be made available as soon as possible. Thank you for your support. The One Dulwich Team

Cash strapped? Or is it complete mismanagement and money waste

But of course, the-removed- from-reality-cyclists bubble and Court Lane rich residents remain unaffected; the latter has to be pristine as it leads to The Square of Shame 🙂 Let the plebs wait at bus stops, tripping over decaying leaves that are never cleared.

Not sure if this has been confirmed - if so, beyond shocking: LTN hailed as eco-friendly using ‘Indian stones quarried 5,000 miles away https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/dulwich/ltn-hailed-as-eco-friendly-using-indian-stones-quarried-5000-miles-

Is anyone really surprised? Ltn been a shambolic scam. I now also understand why the basic services such as pavements cleaning are no longer available in parts of Southwark - all the money pumped into square of shame

This should be number one consideration - how it affects nature

Not sure. Just felt sorry for a half-blind lady. Might be me one day. I see a cleaning guy every day on my way to work near Horniman museum - around 06:15am - how come Southwark council can't provide the same, what with the money wasted on LTN and so on? "And btw I don't think this should be in the "What's on in East Dulwich" section, should it? " - yes, number one problem.

State of the pavements across Southwark council

We need dog free space - no matter how "sweet" these dogs are!

In a similar way: Why don't you first answer the basic questions you've been asked many times first? - Who are Clean Air Dulwich - How are they funded? - Do they have any close involvement with local Conservatives /Labour / Lib Dems? if you are unable to answer any of the above because you aren't involved in Clean Air Dulwich and know nothing about them, why is it that you take such a keen and sustained interest in the issues, demand accountability from the council, yet regularly post Clean Air Dulwich / pro LTN press releases unquestioningly?

Except it is the closed Dulwich Village junction, hopefully to reopen at some point and not a square of any sort. Basic services are abandoned and not provided by the council, like pavements sweeping but lets waste more money on redesign of the junction

eh?

You should not be taking dogs in there. Same as not taking them across the bridge - now closed - as they can scare whatever little widlife is trying to survive in the park. The 'no dog' signs are there and visible and the area has closed gates. Not all people like dogs, many have bad experience and are scared of them. 'My dog can do no wrong' attitude is rather tiring

One Dulwich Campaign Update | 10 Sep The Dulwich Village junction Work continues on the £1.5 million Dulwich Village junction re-design, despite the lack of community support (see the Phase 3 Consultation Report here). We continue to impress on council officers that their plans show unacceptably poor access for emergency vehicles, and inadequate and badly positioned parking for Blue Badge holders. Further details, and how to object, can be found under ‘Dulwich Streets for People (notice dated 5 Sept 2024)’. Southwark’s poor investment The Department for Transport’s published data (updated last month) shows that Southwark’s huge investment in active travel – including millions spent on LTNs – has resulted in no significant change in either walking or cycling. In fact, walking and cycling for travel (rather than leisure) went down in 2023 compared with pre-Covid years. Maybe they need to re-think their strategy? West Dulwich Action Group The West Dulwich Action Group are taking legal action to fight Lambeth Council over the recently imposed LTN. Read more on their Facebook page, or help them reach their £30,000 target via GoFundMe. Thank you for your support. Best wishes, The One Dulwich Team

way too many of these; Lime boss is leaving luxury life in US somewhere - why is he allowed to take over whatever little pedestrians' space there is to take in London?

Would really like to see the ban in London too

Rye Cars Taxi are good

One Dulwich CampaignUpdate | 30 June There appears to be a concerted attempt to discredit One Dulwich. Apparently, we’re behind all local protests, busily spreading lies and misinformation, and even (for reasons that are bewilderingly unclear) plotting to bring down the Dulwich Society. So we thought we should set the record straight. We are a single issue campaign, set up four years ago to protest against the road closures imposed by Southwark Council in the Dulwich area. We believe that the current road closures divide the community into winners and losers. They discriminate against those who are frail or elderly, or who have disabilities (even Blue Badge holders are denied access through the 24/7closures). They damagelocal businesses. They delay buses and emergency services. They displace traffic on to residential roads, many with schools, where thousands of children walk and cycle every day. While those who support One Dulwich may feel strongly about any number of local issues, we have never asked you – and will never ask you – to help us protest against anything other than the Dulwich road closures. As for the charge that we are spreading false information,particularly in relation to our recent campaign update about the closure of Calton Avenue (who was consulted, how many Emergency Vehicles use the junction, and whether the new £1.5m designs are fit for purpose), we are baffled. We always check our facts carefully. In this case, we refer you to our latest News piece, where wereproduce at some length (with names redacted, to protect the identity of those who initiated the FOIs), the Freedom of Information requests and replies on which we based our reporting. We wonder whether those who work so hard to smear us do sobecause we touch a nerve. They know that the road closures are deeply divisive and hurt those who are most vulnerable. They know the policy is flawed. But they’ve dug themselves in so deep, all they can do is keep on digging. Thank you for your support. Best wishes, The One Dulwich Team

Anyone surprised? And why? South Circular road was built over a hundred years ago - how can it be seen fit for 21st century?
