Hi TE44, I'm afraid I can;t get this extra data without distracting council officials who are busy helping with secondary admissions questions from pretty stressed families and workingon the primary admissions phase. Happy to do this later when things have calmed down for everyone.

Some more data. How many children didnt get one of the 6 preferences they stated on their application form. Please find bellow the required information, the leftmost set of data is for ALL allocations and the right columns are for children's which are not receiving one of their six preferences, please let me know if further action is required Regards POLITICAL_WARD TOTAL POLITICAL_WARD_1 PREF_21 Brunswick Park 118 Brunswick Park 4 Camberwell Green 181 Camberwell Green 7 Cathedrals 91 Cathedrals 3 Chaucer 103 Chaucer 2 College 107 College 11 East Dulwich 79 East Dulwich 5 East Walworth 122 East Walworth 2 Evelyn 2 Evelyn 1 Faraday 141 Faraday 8 Gipsy Hill 1 Gipsy Hill 1 Grange 117 Grange 1 Livesey 182 Livesey 10 Newington 147 Newington 8 Nunhead 129 Nunhead 5 Peckham 201 Peckham 8 Peckham Rye 108 Peckham Rye 7 Riverside 99 Riverside 1 Rotherhithe 111 Rotherhithe 5 South Bermondsey 160 South Bermondsey 1 South Camberwell 120 South Camberwell 13 Surrey Docks 63 Surrey Docks 2 The Lane 136 The Lane 10 Village 121 Village 1

hi Heart108, All the data is based on actual surveys of roads. In fact several years surveys to see the rate of highway breaking up. So partly forecasting when a road will fail - it's cheaper to resurface before structural failure. Once structural failure involved its really expensive to fix. Partly responding to structural failure. The problem isn't that resurfacing is occurring but that not enough it taking place. We still have lots and lots of crappy roads in East Dulwich and across Southwark.

This is how the very limited capital is spent of highway repairs: Schemes recommended for planned maintenance under Non Principal Road Capital Improvement programme have been selected using the Horizons software package. The software identifies and priorities highway maintenance schemes, and determines the cost implications of various treatments. Inventory data was imported into horizons to develop the capital programme. 1) SCANNER survey data for A,B, and C roads for 2010/11, and 2011/12. Giving coverage of the complete classified road network as defined for the ROAD 2000 project. 2) DVI survey of 100% of the unclassified carriageway and footway using 2012/13 and 2013/14 surveys. 3) CVI survey data of the unclassified carriageway for 2008/9,2009/10,2010/11 and 2012/13. 4) GIS model for United Kingdom Pavement Management System (UKPMS) survey network The overarching aim was to be able to allocate capital funding based on whole life costing. " The council currently and planning to spend ?4M pa on highway renewals. The backlog when I last checked was over ?18M and to stand still officers quoted ?6M pa.

Hi BellendenBear, Yes on average 3 Southwark School are applied for by each Southwark pupil. But they have 6. Clearly many will apply for other norough schools but probably not an average of 3 as well of the 6 possible preferences.

Hi First Mate, No. No street had a unanimous view for or against. But a number of streets had majorities but the overall feeling was against when people in non East Dulwich ward streets where no controlled parking was being proposed. Yes, Oxonian and Zenoria had been for controlled parking but were against it only operating for 1 hour per day as they wanted 24/7. Hi unlurked, I joined the forum after being elected as part of trying to provide a better service. I have campaigned to save both the Police statiino and in the past the hospital. Only when they were closed have we then tried to ensure future community use where a genuine need has arisen. We have fought the closure of East Dulwich Police station for 10 years when no one was even remotely suggesting we needed new primary schools. so to suggest we've spent so many hundreds of hours on sham campaigns says more about your cynaism than our hard work. If you have a genune issue you'd like help with then I'm here for you. If you want to take cheap pops at my and my colleagues hard work then please start a seperate thread for that I guess in the Lounge.

Hi mariababe, I've added some notes to the original post which hopefully makes it clearer. But for clarity. First table is applkicatns for Southwark located secondary schools by ward. Seocnd table is Southwark ocated secondary schools and how many southwark based people applied for them. What I funnd interesting is the total number of Southwark residents applying for Southwark secondary schools is a ratio of 3:1.

To the PM I received. Southwark Council designs street s to a design standard DS.007. Like all agreed Design Standards in Southwark it can be found on the Southwark Streetscape Design Manual webpages at www.southwark.gov.uk/ssdm. This bible is regualrly used to block changes residents have asked for. Better cycle parking and segregated cycel paths being the most recent in East Dulwich.

Hi cl, Yes it can but it doesnt have such policies to support this on appeal. Hi first mate, And how would it enforce such conditions? Hence my epxloration of whether the counciul could consult DVLA records at regular intervals to ensure no cars registered to addresses with such conditions. As I've stated Council Officers have said they can't do this. i dont see why no. Hi unlukred, You hide behind a peseudonym telling me a Liberal Democrat I'm not democratic. As examples you say campaigning publicly for a primary schools and getting the former ED police station (shamelessly closed by Boris after Ken had tried and failed) to house said primary school rather than a block of 50 flats making the school crisis worse. The next example if the hopsital site - after we ran a very extensive survey of all East Dulwich ward residents. The CPZ proposals. We supported those streets that wanted controlled parking. It didnt happen because other streets didnt want it and formed a majority overall. We hten fought to maximise the space for car parking to ameliorate the parking stress. So what is the majority views for the former Police station and Dulwich Hospital site and how have you found this out? Have you knocked on every door asking peoples views as we do every year?

Hi firest mate, My recording s pips resisting sub dividing local properties. But the garden centre site was a development waiting to happen and we've ensured the best result possible in my opinion without the developer winning at planning appeal. And for this site I have attended a planning appeal in person to successfully block a more intense and uglier development at this site. Hi CL, Council officials have insisted that the only way to restrict this is if a controlled parking zone was present. I have explored a route I think viable of a condition where the council searches DVLA regularly for any cars registerd to addresses that are em want to be car free. It's illegal to register a vehicle to the wrong address. Officers were clear such a scheme couldn't work. But at least we tried to find an alternate solution.

Hi CL, Some, yes. Especially as it's free for occupants.

The site next to East Dulwich station is served by 5 bus routes. It's hard to justify under ground parking wine it sits on top of so much public transport. The level of public transport accessibility is called the PTAL. Sacle of 1 to 6. 5 or 6 is considered excellent. This site is a 6.

Hi A-chan, I beg to differ. Teaching 30 children in the context of a school is different to taking care of a few children out of a school environment. This is why school trips don't have a teacher pupil ratio of 30:1. The rhythm of the day is different. It's a tough job being a teacher but unlikely to stretch from 8am to 6pm in front of a class. A nanny would need that different stamina. Clearly the original poster has highlighted ageism. It should be about peoples ability to do the job not peoples assumption based on discrimination. I've found this a really useful prod to think about my actions and the actions of others.

Had word today that Southwark Conservative group also now support our campaign.

You make a very good points. Just to re enforce your point. A newly qualified teacher could start work at 21 full-time and have been on teaching practice earlier. They'll be in charge of classes of 30 children.

Hi P68, I agree. Hi AF, Our part of Southwark on average have 56% car ownership per average household. As majority of properties are houses it seems reasonable to assume these 20 flats will result in fewer than 10 cars. The developer has a condition on their planning application that they will provide free car club membership to occupants for several years. Not much else we can do while the majority of people in the area have expressed a desire to avoid controlled parking.

Hi cld, The number 40 bus goes an internally different route to the no.35 at our end. You've just suggested cancelling a third of the buses along Lordship Lane. Do you not like East Dulwich or buses?

Hi Sue In East Dulwich ward we only had 3 applications. Sorry I can;t recall the streets proposed. Residents living there have received letters asking if they would use one. Hi rahrahrah, Listed as Bike Hangars and listed on the minutes minus the street names.

I saved lots when I moved to a water meter while living in a 2 bedroom flat. Well worth it.

Hi rahrahrah, East Dulwich councillors agreed to fund 2 of the 3 applied for. Which 2 of the 3 streets to have being decided by how much interest is apparent for each street.

I contacted our local East Dulwich Safer Neighbourhood Team during February. They've responded that they're going to deliver lots of no cold calling stickers to the areas and investigate a cold calling zone. They've contacted ADT who stated that not their team but people selling their products.

I do agree with Shuggy that it is important to read the whole report.

Hi Edanna, I would not have thought so. The landowner owns Railway Rise and I would expect everything can be done away from Grove Vale - so I would not have expected disruption to the normal BAU traffic.

I'm very excited. I've just been told that the former Garden Centre next to East Dulwich station will be demolished during April and works will begin to building 20 new flats, a shop unit and long desired new Grove Vale library. I came up with the new Grove Vale library 9 years ago so can;t wait to see it open summer 2015.
