Hi curlykaren, I've had a response already. The discount is ?40 and ?65 depending on what the offence orginally committed was. If you provide more details - ideally email me - I'll get the detail of what you've suggested investigated.

Hi curlykaren, That sounds remarkably silly. I'll check with the had of parknig enforcement and come back to you.

Please email me the details so I can ask oujr local East dulwich Police what they intend to do about it.

The attack sounds appalling. The local East Dulwich Police team has anti attack alarms still in stock. If any East Dulwich ward resident would like one please email me with your details and address and I'll arrange delivery. I'm also ensuring we get buy some more. I know this isn't a solution but if it avoids a single further attack...

Complain via email at [email protected] if it doesn't get fixed tell me and I'll escalate it to senior officers.

Southwark Council are responsible.

I requested this planning applciation be called-in. This has been agreed. It will now go to a planning committee and yesterday the officers I chased about when told me after the summer holidays. Talking to a local residents they believe they've found a legal problem in that the application assumes rights of ways that they don't have. That after the death of a resident whose property was accessed via a service yard it wouldnt be legal for this application to do that. The more I hear the more of a pickle this application appears to be. For those that want an M&S Food - and I do REALLY like their chocloate biscuits - I'm sorry the developer appears to have made a mess of the applciation. Those against it wont happen anytime soon without a major redesign.

Great reason to report it via the non emergecny number 101.

Hi OliviaDee, Not yet but they have been working on it. Hi Fazer71, I'm asking about anti skid covered steel plates covering road works when things not happening. Great example where this would help junction of Denmark Hill with Daneville Road.

Matham grove has 15 properties on the northern side and 20 on the southern side but obviosuly many are subdivided into flat. When I responded to an email asking what the scheme was about I described what had been applied for. I had assumed neighbours had been asked so I'll dig out the paperwork and check with the applicant. But no one is suggesting putting apple trees in other peoples front gardens without their agrement and my assumption is it's about climbing apple trees that remain small etc. See them against walls in gardens.

The sinusoidal road humps will be installed, weather permitting, the week commencing 6 August. Apparently the road will remain open to traffic while these works take place and will be completed within the week.

Well done to the whole school community for this. Amazing brilliant. Result.

Hi Fazer71, TG, Hmmm let's continue this as pm's please. Trams used to run up and down Dog Kennel Hill. So they can cope with steep hills. My understanding is if a tram link is blocked they divert across and alternate over the remaining single tram track until the blockage is cleared - this enables everything from emergency road works to broken down vehicles blocking the line. I don't see any evidence that first work countries are moving to trolley buses. As for the price of tracking my understanding is it can be done for significantly less that TfL have costed.

Hi AlexC, Yes I agree, long overdue. ?52,617 should mean the rest of Landcroft Road, but not the pavement, is resurfaced.

This financial year central council budgets have just been decided to pay for the following East Dulwich streets to be resurfaced ? Landcroft Road (?52,617) & Underhill Road (?53,591) being resurfaced; Chesterfield Grove (?206,569) & Colwell Road (?134,464) these roads will be rebuilt. I've asked for more details about the degree of works and when they'll be undertaken. As soon as I know I'll post it here. This is on top of the ?39,979 East Dulwich councillors allocated for North Cross Road to be resurfaced during financial year 11/12 which only actually happened recently. This leaves us with ?26,021 to spend this financial year 12/13. Overall of Southwark Councils 323km of local roads 11% of roads and 19% of pavements need rebuilding. Also some 19 ?amber? lamp posts on Barry Road will be replaced at a cost of ?38,000 ? ?amber? means lamp posts about 2-3 years away from failing. But we do have a Dulwich problem with Southwark Council chopping down 70 more trees on our streets than were planted. And this is despite local councillors allocating extra Cleaner, Greener, Safer funding towards planting such street trees.

Hi the-e-dealer, East London Line extension phase 2 going to EPckham Rye, Denmark Hill isn't a tube extension. It's a regular local train service planned for every 15mins but as part of its implimentation the South london Line is being removed which ran twice hourly. So ELL2 will add two trains an hour - hardly the frequency you'd associate with a tube line of every 4-5 minutes. Hi Fazer71, 25% of Mahcnester tram users used to travel by car and Sheffield 20%. Plenty of buses were in place before the trams were reintroduced into those cities but those passengers preferred private cars. So yes trams, trains and tubes do attract people away from cars when new routes are opened. Trolleybuses are buses powered by electricity. They have the cost structure of buses & trams but without the mechanical efficiency of riding along tracks.

Dulwich Helpline is always looking for volunteers.

Hi Fazer71, With running a regular bus service from very early to very late people couldn't rely upon it. So yes, at the extreme ends of the service schedule buses often carry very few people but makin gtraffic lights nuanced enough to cope with timje of day would add to the cost of running them and make such buses more expensive to run. What we really need is a tram service across Southwark which is much more likely to persaude car drivers onto them than buses have ever been found to achieve....

I've had a number of residents contact me to complain about speeding vehicles there and as the road cuts through Peckham Rye Park young children are not acting the same as near regular road.

Hi fazer71, I know a lot of road works havetaken place there for gas and water pipe renewals and about six to eight years ago the phasing changed with the aim of making it more bus friendly. Eitherway it's not working now and plans to review it after delayed by all the Olympic changes. As for the traffic lights contractors. The maintenance service is provide 'free' to Southwark by Transport for London. BUT it means they have huge influence over when changes take place due to their lack of capacity. It also mean TfL have sign-off for schemes.

Hi fazer71, This junction is outside East Dulwich ward but I've had a number of ED residents contact me. The junctions is funded to be revamped this financial year. Due to the Olympics this wont happen until towards the end of the FY as a long queue of such works is developing across London and to enable the Olympic Zil lanes many pelicans etc are being switched of and obviously will need to be switch back on before new projects are started. The current traffic light timings are resulting in many people jumping red lights. I've asked if some measure to increase adherence to the traffic lights can be implimented until the lights are revamped - no joy so far. It's a cliche but it is a crash waiting to happen - as per past crash data - but Southwark Council have decided to accept this risk. I don't like traffic light cameras but in this instance they would really make this junction safer for all users and be self funding.

I've just been advised that as this planning application is not a major scheme and that officers appear minded to approve that it would not, under the new rules introduced in May, go to a planning committee - slam dunk. So I have made a formal request as a ward councillor supported by my ward colleagues Cllr Rosie Shimell and Cllr Jonathan Mitchell that the decision is formally referred to one of the two new extra centrally run planning comkmittees. Long shot but I've also asked that if one of these committees does decide this application that it meets locally in East Dulwich.

Hi Cornelia, Weirdly this is outside East dulwich ward but if it was inside ED ward I'd... Try and arrange fencing and gating which can go some way to fixing such problems. It's a funny little corner. Get the management company to install such gates and fencing would help as would CCTV so the Police can be shown the offenders. It might also be residents of Holmes Close. Are you a resident of these blocks who can ask from within about this?

Up to May 2010 Lib Dem councillors in charge of street trees and the council generally. Labour one the local elections then and have been in charge since - specifically cllr [email protected]

Hi citizenED, I've not heard back yet but have asked. For Dulwich area it is a relatively large site. Would be great to use to enlarge the schools playground but doubt this is the plan.
