Thanks P68, f71, A1011, But can we please get back to local issues in East Dulwich...

I'd also add that the electoral roll is checked versus Dept. of Work and Pensions record of where each person says they live. Effectively taking National Insurance number as unique identifiers to avoid people registering to vote multiple time - unless they're a student, etc. The aim is to reduce electoral fraud. The initial new system matched over 90% of people automatically with DWP records. Locally we've seen very little change in the overall number of voters. But we used to see the same person registered twice or more - probably clerical errors - and I've not seen this since. So my hunch is the general election small increase in turnout was related to removing spurious duplicate voters. But if anyone need help with their electoral roll entry and is finding getting a correction difficult get in touch.

Plenty of evidence that GENERALLY creating new roads generates more traffic. M25 classic example. Closing roads leads to traffic evaporation. People constantly make decisions about whether they can be bothered. Make it easier then they are and vice versa. It sounds like davidk is suggesting trial experimental closure - for whatever reasons - resulted in traffic evaporation. This doesn't mean it isn't a pain in the proverbial for some. The closure of Townley Road hasn't led to dire traffic levels along Lordship Lane/Melbourne Grove as far as I'm aware. People are amazingly smart and adaptable.

The proposed feasibility report of up to ?10,000 will have its terms of reference discussed at the next Dulwich Community Council 9 September 7-10pm Christchurch Hall, 263 Barry Road.

Why first mate? Neither North Cross Road or Whateley Road carry large volumes of traffic. I totally agree the local road works are painfully and unnecessarily long in being completed but exaggeration doesn't help our argument.

Harris Girls have been booking and using Peckham Rye pitches for years. I've not noticed any sliding - has anyone else? So we have Harris boys going by coach to Dulwich Village and other schools being coached to Peckham Rye park. Logic would suggest the other school/s be coached to Dulwich Village and Harris boys walk across the road but I doubt this will happen any time soon. The only open space being consumed is by a proposed new council leisure centre to replace Seven islands Centre in the NE of Southwark.

NB. Southwark Noise team have told me they've only had 3 complaints about noise related to Alleyns School in 2015 two from the same person. The noise team responded but the noise had stopped. I can't stress enough that if you don't report the noise it didn't officially happen. That the noise team response is based on number of complaints from different people. Whatever the anti social noise please don't suffer in silence unless you're happy for it to be repeated. The noise complaint number/teams in Southwark is Tel: 020 7525 5777 and operates: Monday 7am 2.30am next day Tuesday 7am 2.30am next day Wednesday 7am 2.30am next day Thursday 7am 2.30am next day Friday 7am - 5pm 6.30pm to 4am Saturday 7am - 5pm 6.30pm to 4am Sunday 8am 2.30am next day

Hi Andrew1011, Every local promise I and my colleagues have made to East Dulwich we deliver in each term after being elected/re elected. And yes your right politically we should have stuck to our guns over tuition fees and sacrificed other policies we wanted - in my view. But we wouldn't have had things like the pupil premium. But Labour introduced the fees having promised in manifesto's not and then increased them after promising in manifestos not to and not having to dilute and compromise due to coalitions.

Hi Oxenford, I've just helped two families do this in East Dulwich. If you email me I'll set the wheel in motions. The two families had been having a hard time from Southwark but my involvement they tell me has really helped.

The Section 106 was hoped to be signed yesterday but missed the Secretary of State red box so it will be Tuesday when signed. This then triggers demolition and the contractors are waiting in the wings to get cracking.

Can you guys email me about the problems you've had and I'll try and get them resolved asap

Hi ITATM! I can assure you most school have tried blocking other new rival schools. If you still have a problem with the Peckham Academy I'd be happy to try and help resolve it. Usual email or mobile number.

Hi ZT, landsberger, Manifesto are clearly framed at winning an outright majority. As I'm sure you realise. If you fail to win an outright majority parties negotiate. Since the Tories won a majority we've seen what they wanted to do all along and were blocked when lib demos were in a coalition with them. Do you honesty prefer unfettered torism?

Hi Richard tudor, Southwark Council as part of the 20mph rollout allocated ?700k for further physical measures based on traffic count/speed to take place. This amount is meant to cover the whole borough. Being in opposition I don't yet know what or when further measures are proposed. I hope some of this is used on Barry Road, and other locations around East Dulwich with crashes. But other parts of the borough have much higher crash numbers and should be addressed first. But of the tiny devolved budgets we have I'd like to see if we can look at one or two crash locations to make them safer. Hi blah blah, You are unusual. The Police report that most people think others are driving faster than they actually are. Traffic counts have previously before 2mph speed limits shown excessive speeding on Lordship lane around Upland Road junction, Barry Road.

Let me raise this again. What a nightmare.

Hi kford, We can with signed agreement from land owners - this is done if they agree to allow right of way. The area around Moxon's we've been trying to do this for some time. But if a single landowner doesn't wish to do it then very hardtop do without creating more ponding which is a major reasons for trying to do this. Hi bob, Because many people are not driving at 20mph. further measures are required. Hi ZT, Because they're allowed by Southwark Council to take so long. Not having a majority of councllors my lot can only do so much trying to get things completed in reasonable time scales.

I've checked the Planning Permission for the school and double checked with officers. Their is no planning restriction. The school from the planning application hearing hasn't wanted to antagonise the Friends of Peckham Rye who opposed them using Peckham Rye Common and Park for hiring pitches. Hopefully the friends will change their mind at some point. Irony not lost on me that most people consider Harris Federation to lack sensitivity and they could push this and book pitches. They're generally happy with their use of Kings College Playing Fields. So the boys get PE there when not using their own large sports hall.

Hi P68, How can a build out that does not protrude any further than parked cars "strangle" lordship Lane? Hi ZT, As I reported two weeks ago the works finish 7 September. Hi kford, we can't fix everything at once.

Hi bob, They will hopefully calm traffic but primarily make the entrance to our market much more attractive.

Hi yeknowmyeknom, If you email me separately I'd like to take your case up. if DMC CP records are that rubbish equally other may be recoded who haven't had the right immunisations.

Apologies for not being clearer. We opposed changing unrestricted East Dulwich ward parking to 1 hour restricted car parking. Success for our patch. Labour Southwark have introduced such restrictions in many other places - despite 50:50 consultation results - because it was in their 2014 Southwark Labour manifesto. They resoundly won that election so people get what they voted for. Always worth reading the small print before voting in local elections.

I'd also hope we'd let the new space happen before deciding to fill it! if we are going to fill it we have a real shortage of place for people to sit which we need to address - and was highlighted in the Living Streets reports about the walkability of the area.

The final decision about implementing 1 hour parking spaces has been issued: http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/mgDecisionDetails.aspx?IId=50007568&Opt=1 If you look at the schedule you'll see we've been successful in stopping current no restriction car parking space around East Dulwich ward being converted to 1 hour restricted car parking bays.

Hi Sazzle30, ALL food waste is taken to the new integrated Waste Management Facility. Put in massive concrete lined rooms. Effectively composting on a massive scale and can handle ALL food waste. The centre has an interpretation centre you can visit. And they do tours of the plant. Earlier this year I helped take a scout group there. My second visit and just as informative. Would anyone be interested if I organised a group visit from East Dulwich residents?

Please, please, please, do report this to the Police non emergency 101 number now. Local Police would have really appreciated a call at the time you excited around midnight last night. 101 if officers are free can see instant very quick response. The mere fact of a patrol car in the area might have avoided the further tyre slashing.
