  1. What rubbish. Inertia and a very hard knocking up of real Labour supporters.
  2. I have had it for months. It is great to have a download speed of 400+ after BT gave me 11 at the most. For the first year you are discounted and then for my band it costs £28. Any difficulties you call the helpline and it is sorted remotely - I haven't had problems however.
  3. The complete rubbish spouted at the first consultation meeting at Dulwich Library was an insult to our intelligence. (McCash wants to use parking places for parklets by the way - lovely seating that is backing on to a road, has rubbish and dope paraphernalia left in it - nice outside your house. And a few months ago I was told by the woman who is local chair of Police panel that crack apparatus was found by the Burial Ground.) CPZs are an inevitable move to get you from using your car and that is the most anti-social behaviour on behalf of the council who give not one jot about anyone living in non urban areas like Dulwich Village and West Dulwich south of the South Circular. We all have to travel to decent food shops and some of us are too old to walk and carry.
  4. Catherine Rose of course. And don't forget in the early Our Healthy Streets plan for Eynella, they wanted to close the junction and make it people friendly.
  5. And Rahx3 in case you can't/won't click through to it here is that it says on Page 6 of TFL's report: Root Cause of Delays Herne Hill is the best logical alternate route for northbound drivers who are otherwise unable to travel through Dulwich Village This has caused increased flows through this section of network resulting in increased congestion. Pretty compelling huh? I wonder how the councillors and pro-LTN lobby are going to try and spin their way out of that one....... Thanks Rockets, that's helpful. I'm pretty dubious of Southwark News reports on LTNs, as they've run a campaign against them that's included very misleading, sometimes false reporting. It's a shame that they quote the report out of context, and don't link to it, but not that surprising perhaps. Reading the report, it sounds as though the issues with increased bus times referred to in the Southwark News headline were prior to the changes Southwark put in place in March. Although it does sound that Croxted road Northbound (whilst improving), may still be experiencing increased traffic. So perhaps the headline ought to be - a very successful traffic reduction scheme isn't 100% perfect and there continues to be monitoring and some adjustments being made. That is pretty shocking. My friend who lives on Croxted Road is pretty adamant that your explanation is wrong. The traffic is as bad as it has been since the LTN system was put in, and she should know I think. The decreased timings have made it worse. Clearly no problems during the school holidays, however.
  6. Sorry I haven't got the hang of this yet - I was trying to reply to Spartacus!
  7. What has that to do with Southwark? Nothing!
  8. The glut of people walking about in yellow high viz taking numberplates of legally parked cars made me wonder if Southwark are going to match the plates with DVLA details which they clearly have access to. Then leading to parking restrictions of some kind on these roads where the checkers have been seen.
  9. All this adds up to, is that all the Dulwich LTNs imposed against the will of the people are rubbish, life-ruining things that have affected how many people live. Unless you are sitting in your quiet little enclave, which in some respects I am - but I care about people on the fringe who have taken the traffic we use to share. Bad design. Bad outcome. Bad.
  10. I have had an agenda and last Minutes via Neighbourhood Watch friend not living in my road, for Dulwich Village ward meeting of the team with Safer Neighbourhood Panel next Monday at the Dog. Public meeting presumably. Anyone ever been to the one for Village ward? Goldilocks, if these meetings run on, I think it is important to start early, and after all, you could still turn up a bit later couldn't you?
  11. Have you seen the double yellows and no loading signs that have appeared on Court Lane with no notices? Knee jerk reaction to that fire engine squeezing trough.
  12. I think the two Lib Dems are wet behind the ears and think us residents are too if they believe they will go against their party policy on LTNs.
  13. It is double yellowed both sides and up to Dekker. What will all those drop off mums do now?

Go and have a look - it doesn't have the problem any more.

The hypocrisy is > breathtaking! That's daft It's a cul de sac on the Dulwich Estate, I haven't ever seen gates there even when there used to be an old lady living in the original house. So it is no more gated than Townley Rd or Calton Avenue, or Court Lane. I suspect quite a few people who comment on the LTNs do so because they live on one, or sort of one in the sense the traffic is affected by cameras or planters. Just like me and most of Area B.
