Councils want to cock up traffic flows so they can bring in more and more control. It also does not help that young and thrusting graduates with throbbing red felt pens need to make their mark for saving the planet and introduce the theory that they have learnt from books. Why did we never have this mass balls up before?

This response I had might answer your question Further to your subsequent question below, my response is as follows: The council does not receive the income from traffic speed cameras; we understand that the income from them goes to Transport for London/Metropolitan police and then on to HM Treasury. Yours sincerely, John Williamson Business Services Manager So why did TFL go along with lowering the speed limit? If they had said no that would have been it. Again just for the money

Did anything come out of this meeting that we should worry about for the future regarding the clearway and one way, roundabouts etc? Unable to get there would appreciate any update

I do hope that the remark made to RCH is recorded in the minutes as an accurate report of what went on and who said what. As is normal in minute taking.

Why are things in a mess because the vast majority of residents have a living to earn and do not have the time to monitor Southwark. So the vocal minority with help,from pet Cllrs push through what they want. Fact but true

To use a Cllr Barber approach what do the statistics show for accidents say over the last 10 years. If you look at the traffic approach and road markings from Grove Hill Road something is afoot after all the road works. You are right in saying people today are much more protective than is necessary

The whole thing is starting to confuse me, tbh. Why are they talking about radical changes at Champion Hill and perhaps Rosendale Road if the aim is only to cater for "nervous adults"? That can't possibly take enough traffic off the roads to justify those changes. It feels like they can't decide whether they've got the huevos to actually go through with it or not. Do it properly, or not at all. Because it works well and has done for the last 68 years that I have lived on and around Champion hill. It it works well so change it. Young people with a red felt pen and a map in an office and no experience. Madness.

What?

Saw a man with a clip board and a worker with one foot on his shovel this morning. Not much else

Is that the one opposite Harris Academy that today looks like it has been taken over by squatters?

Forget S G Smith which is a different matter. Do you think it should be shut down for the benefit of a a few. Ignore Cllr barber. Who will do a LibDem U turn if it benefits him

Don't worry. The word is Cllr Barber has collected his red undergarment from the dry cleaners and will be swooping out of the clouds to save the area that is MG and lap up the adoration I for one cannot wait.

The longer this goes on the bigger joke it becomes.

Cllr Barber Said 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. Why are all roads being targeted instead of the above? If people think most people are driving faster than they actually are but in fact are going a lot slower there cannot be a problem.

Clark Barber wrote Hi Bob Because many people are not driving at 20mph. further measures are required. What others measures are hiding in the wings that we don't know of. Perhaps it would be better to accept that most people do not drive at 20 mph because it is not sensible Ill thought out labour manifesto dogma All roads 20 mph madness.

There was also talk of cycle parking which takes care of this

Perhaps if the Cllrs had told people that the road had been looked at before and did not present a problem there would not be this mess now. Still we all need to be loved.

When the scaffolding came down on Chadwick Road I noticed as I walk up every day they did not bother to paint where the scaffolding had been. Don't they have snagging anymore?

YEs

Cllr Barber wrote "After having a useful debate with some residents last night. I'm really not clear closing Melbourne Grove southern part close to East Dulwich Grove would work". Why did you back it in the first place then?

Fly tipping increase then. Any other proposed money earning schemes we should now about?

A ruse used for introduction of the 20mph. This was buried in the manifesto on page 7 of 10 under heath benefits. By the time you had waded trough all the first papers you gave up the will to live and I doubt many people even got that far. Government is particularly good at this when they want to slip bad news etc through. Local Authorities are learning fast.
