Hi candp, Slightly out of my patch but happy to report it and ask to see the paper copy of the traffic light sequence. NB.I've been asking for all traffic light sequences to be made publicly available as we must have loads of traffic engineers and others who could finesse the current settings and squeeze more pedestrian time out of them. Whenever I give a specific example of a daft set of settings they get improved but never get whole set of traffic light sequences. This is a slow way ot improve things.

Hi civilservant, The extra crossing outside COop/Somerfield is meant to have happened this financial year! We will eventually get it. We'll also get one on Lordship Lane at the junction of East Dulwich Grove. My brai nwave appears to have cracked this junction conundrum of traffic lights causing more harm than good and doing nothing not good enough. I'll chase officers for the latest time lines. Hi Kraken, Those speed signs tend to reduce average speed by 1-2mph. Helpful but not a panacea. Hi rahrahrah, Speed sinusoidal humps on Matham, Ashbourne and Chesterfield. Remainder speed signs.

Hi Katie1997, Why do you think the budget is bad for pensioners?

Hi trinity, I'll report it for you today. Regards james

Hi SCSB79, Yes, most roads in East Duwlich excepting the area bounded by Lordship Lane, Melbourne Grove and East Dulwich GRove and the area bounded by Lordship Lane, Watelely Road and Barry Road. Both these areas are about to become 20mph zones or speed limites after requested from residents to local councillors and using our devolvled Cleaner, Greener, Safer budgets from this financial year.

The last speed data I was sent showed vast majority stick to speed limit but frankly I only notice the selfish idiots going faster. I take a look at the weekend but if you think any signage has been damaged or badly placed tell me the specific details and I'll try and get fixed asap.

Hi trinitiy, Yes Ryedale/Underhill are within 20mph zone. Lets se what happens with CGS - which should be clear by June.

Hi trinity, Yes, that junction from my experienc can be tricky to cross. Monies for changes to roads - such as kerb buuild-outs - usually get spent retrospectively based on crash data. I've asked council officers for a meeting to talk me through the end to end process and specifically crash maps for Southwark and East Dulwich. I'd imagine no reported crashes at this site but it must make you hesitate about allowing your child to go to school by themselves. Normally in such circumstances we get a pot of capital money under the Cleaner, Greener, Safer banner every year and we'd often use a few thousands to fix such problems that don;t directly warrant collission reduction money but do need fixing when they become apparent. This coming financial year we're unclear on whether we'll have CGS funding - it appears to have been diverted for an Olympics fund centrally administered from the new Town Hall. Fingers crossed the CGS money will be reinstated. If it is I'd encourage you to apply for kerb buildouts at this junction. Seperately we're using some of last years CGS allocation to create 20mph speed limits on all the roads bounded by Lordship Lane, Whateley Road and Barry Road. This wont be a 20mph zone with humps everywhere as the vast majority of vehicles are travelling very close to 20mph already but such 20mph speed limits do have the effect of bringing speeds down several mph and should result in vast majority travelling at or below 20mph. We'll then see which roads are seeing greater than 20mph speeds and would then expect to have humps installed on an as needs basis. 20mph speed limits should happen in 8-12 weeks time. A speed review after about 12 months which should be timed nicely for the next CGS round.

Hi cassidy, The part of Adys Road you're having this problem with represents the border between South Camberwell ward to the west and The Lane ward to the east. So probably best that you contact the cllrs for those wards: South Camberwell ward: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] The Lane ward: [email protected] [email protected] vacancy - cllr Keadean Rhoden I believe has resigned.

Curiously comments submitted by Cllr Stephen Govier are not in the report. He CC'd me the emails. He clearly appears to know his stuff about licensed premises. I spoke to him last night about cross ward issues. I hadn't realised Lambeth licensing sub-committees meet in the evening rather than SOuthwark daytime making it hard to non licensees to attend.

The really clever trick if people want to hurt Lockheed Martin is to maximise turnout for the census. They'll have factored in a level of completion. The gap between full completion and the actual completion will be a large factor in how profitable they'll be. Maximising completion should see below expected profits. That's how to hurt them - the wallet. Finally enough Lockheed Martin were involved in the 2001 census as well and were paid ?54M. 2009 revenue for Lockheed Martin ?45.2bn.

It would be sad if Southwark suffered the consequences of another incomplete census. We've just had 10 years of lower council funding as a result of that. If someone doesn't fill in the census then I hope they at least have the decency to never whinge about pot holes, air pollution, fire service spending, school places and forecasts, social care, etc, etc, etc. The irony for me is people who boycott the census are making the contract more profitable for Lockheed Martin. Its a fixed fee contract. IF they have less work to do they make more profits. Go on you boycotters make Lockheed Martin richer!

The licence review will take place 10am Monday 28 March at the Town Hall. The papers for licensing sub-committee can be found here: http://moderngov.southwarksites.com/mgConvert2PDF.aspx?ID=3757&T=10. The report appears to be missing several comments that I was copied. Hopefully the report can be rectified before the sub-committee meets. I'm hopeful the sub-committee will make a set of wise decisions. The Police have made very damning comments about how the current licence has been followed. It's clear some significant changes are required at this venue.

From what I can see "Trident 9.9m/Enviro400 double deckers introduced (from route 38)" will be introduced during April. The bus route is considered a high frequency routes with buses going every 7 mins in the rush hour and 7 an hour at other times mon-Fri. I guess this is what our bus fare rises are helping to pay for.

Hi Renata, So we're agreed. A cross party campaign to return the P13 to 15 mins frequency Mon-Fri?

Hi Renata, Specific examples of problems do add weight. But the key problems reported repeatedly is over crowding and reliability. To have this routes contract changed mid contract will need lots of evidence - ideally a diary of journeys. The P13 route doesn't make bigger buses possible but returning to pre Ken P13 cuts would be of great benefit in resolving the problems returning to 15 mins frequency rather than 20 mins. NB. I think it a bit disngenuous to suggest that any London Mayor who doesn't want to be told of any service cuts they are accountable for would be serving London well. Either he knew and wasn't bothered as the bus at that time went through safe Labour and Tory wards OR he hadn't told officials to tell him when they were cutting services OR he was told and thought them fine. None of these scenarios would reflect well on him from an East Dulwich, Peckham Rye or Dulwich Village perspective.

We appear to have reached the point where as many people are saying it's fine as not fine. Not much I feel I can do without a clear issue to get my teeth into. Hi Peckhamspam, Funny suggestion. My colleague Cllr Rosie Shimell has already said she'll pop along.

Hi Renata, P13 lack of reliability has been a perenial problem for years - which is why its route was shortened at the northern end 2 years ago. The timetable changes in 2004, during Ken Linvingstones watch, changing it from every 15 mins weekdays to every 20 mins clearly are coming home to roost. More recently reliabilitiy issues is why the P13 timetable was changed with effect 6 February 2011 to improve Sunday services. The P13 is a very long route 16km (10miles). Being a low frequency bus route - every 20 mins weekdays and 30 mins evenings and weekend - but with large sections along roads that can get very congested during rush hours such as the South Circular the reliability is an issue. In fact TfL undersatand the route to take between 41 and 72 minutes to complete which perfectly explains the problem. How to fix P13 reliability? Change the route to avoid roads that get congested - not easy with South circular being an integral part of the route. Chop the route into two so the variability is reduced for different halves - but some users would then need to catch two buses to make the current journey. Increase the frequency - reverse Ken Livingstone's changes and go back to the pre 2004 timetable with buses running every 15 minutes Mon-Fri.

Hi cassidy, I'm afraid I've not understood your post. ARe you saying the Adys Road arm of its junction with East Dulwich Road and Crystal Palace Road needs to have more double yellow lines going northwards to increase sightlines for littler people/children?

Is it possible we think the male and female temperatures of 22.2/3 C are fine but the family changing area which takes longer to change in trying to corral youngsters into drying and dressing feels cold at 21.7 C ?

Hi dreaminofsleep, The timetable is a little better. The new buses are E200 darts/Enviro200 9.3m long rather than previous EL2000-Dart DELs which were 9.0m long. The extra doors should make it much easier for people to get on and of the buses. The previous contract had 11 buses with one being kept as a spare. The new contract has 12 buses with presumably one being kept as a spare as well. With the extra doors it should be slightly easier to stick to the timetable. NB. I'm not a bus spotter but my curiosity was aroused! Hi Nero, The P13 was only recontracted a couple of years ago and isn't due to be retendered for some time. Only way to effect change on that is some evidence of overcrowding.

The feedback I've had so far is that today the temperature readings are: Family/accesisible changing areas = 21.7 C Male changing area = 22.3 C Female changing area = 22.2 C Lobby area = 21.6 C These all seem reasonable. As they've now been alerted to potential temperature and draught issues they're now monitoring these. As for pool hygiene any problems please do email me directly and post here so we can get things inspected quickly.

The P13 was retendered and only started in Sept/Oct 2009. So quite a while before the next retendering which is the ideal time to fix problems. I'll dig out Southwark formal input during the two year retendering process run by Transport for London and post it later when I'm at home. To have the P13 formally reviewed mid contract about its capacity would require evidence of overcrowding. Southwark Council doesn't have the resources for this type of data collection. Does anyone on this forum regularly catch this service who could note down the numbers of passengers at different points on their journey? Any parents who could encourage an A level geographer to record this?With real evidence we can do something much as the users of the 343 (Evolution Quarter Residents Association) have.
