Which points to the fact it is nearby locals that are walking and not others who are finding it difficult to get there with kids and all the bits. Which was the plan I suspect all the time.

So those cyclists in Lycra that go round the park have to go that fast so they also do not fall off?

Why has this thread been hidden away in the business thread. Is there a reason not to allow people easily to read what is happening at Sainsbury's?

You have to remember that Sainsbury's do not keep any stock anymore. i.e out the back, according to a Manager, the total stock is now on top of the shelves. He also said that head office are responsible for monitoring and ordering stock for the store. Explains a lot

For Southwark yes very successful. Parking now on your street, CPZ on its way.

Can anyone remember the time when people used common sense and thought for themselves and not as is usual today to be led by the nose by others. The world is a very strange place these days. Southwark is leading people by the nose to where they want you to be.

It would make a great deal more sense if parking charges are to be introduced, if they have to be, to impose them on weekends. During the week many of the people using the park are elderly walking their dogs and meeting up with similar people, a sort of mobile social club which saves Southwark money. There are not many other users during the week unless the schools are on holiday when it turns into a circus. Which I do not have a problem with. I would never consider going to Dulwich Park on a sunny weekend at my age. How many so called Southwark experts have stayed in the park for a full day for a full week and to see what goes on? It does seem that many of the decisions are made by, in my view, by children who have no concept of real life outside the classroom for another age group. For a good few years now Southwark has been reorganising and making redundant people who had real life experience and how Southwark really works i.e through the old system of Housing Offices and local Housing Officers. All now gone. Large offices only now Tooley Street and Queens Road, North and South Southwark. Now it appears that spreadsheet decisions are the norm plus consultations. From experience very few people using the park car park are commuters during the week. Did anyone ask the parks office for their take on the matter? Again this idea will impact on many who cannot afford to pay. If such decisions regarding parking are made it should consider those who cannot afford the charges. It appears that many on here support charges who do not have a problem paying, have no problems with mobility or public transport. Wait till they find their street jammed with cars.

Perhaps people should reflect that the poster is 73 years of age, able to walk on level flat ground with difficulty. This is applicable to many people. Completing an mini assault course prior to getting to the park seems missed by some of the forums posters. I also suspect that energy levels are not what they once were. It would be interesting to see what their comments would be as they age. Now most do not have a clue. Before answering with get a bus or walk consider what you might be like at that age or lower and also having pay an additional weekly outgoing to walk in your local park on a pension will in some cases will not be possible. Cars are not a luxury for many people but a lifeline to the world.If transport is so good in and around ED why are there so many large and expensive cars parked in most of the roads Why is Sainsbury's car park alway packed if transport is so good and everything can be done using public transport? Also no one has mentioned the huge prams that have to be used taking up a vast amount space on a bus.

From your forum name I have to think you do not live in East Dulwich or its surrounds any more. If you look at what is being proposed every where is being directed to having no cars. This is not right and will effect many people. There was a posting on this from a resident and shows this is not is not an overstatement. You have not commented on this posting. As you comment quite lot on this subject do you live in the area to be able to comment on what is going on?

Thank you for posting this. It least we now know for a fact that Southwark will be doing all it can to rid the Borough of motorcars. No original thoughts to improve things which will benefit the majority of an ageing population in the borough. who cannot walk or cycle. There was a post on this forum that explained one residents problem in getting to and using Dulwich Park, no thought given to him or other residents in the same situation.

What happens to the food waste and garden waste that is being put into the LARGE brown bins because they have not requested a sticker or a brown caddie therefore will not have had a small waste caddie delivered. For the moment I believe all garden and food waste will go into the same collection lorry. What brain in Southwark thought this idea up?

If you have never had a large brown bin ever why would you suddenly decide you now need one now? The sticker is only for the LARGE brown garden waste bin/s The only brown bin you are likely to get is a small brown bin caddy to take food waste which will just about hold 2 very small green interior bags. If you have a large garden bin and no sticker it will be taken away. If you live in a 3 flat conversion it would appear that you will need 3 small brown waste caddies in addition to the other bins for the flats. Possible 6 bins in total or more. It does not make any sense. Not thought through at all

After wondering why buses were still not running down Rye Lane after most of the works have been completed, the P13 in particular, this was the answer from TFL. It appears that it is Southwark who are keeping the road closed. If cars can use the road why not public transport? If the bus routes are clear why are they not opened for public use. Response from TFL. "Dear Mr Tudor Thank you for your email of 17 April about the diversion of the P13. I trust the following information helps. As you know, the gas renewals have been completed past the junction of Blenheim Grove. However, we cannot return buses to the normal line of route at present. The local authority is taking the opportunity to get all upcoming utility works and building development works done on Rye Lane while the closure is in place. This is to avoid closing the road again. Thank you again for contacting us. If there?s anything else we can help you with, please reply to this email. Alternatively, you can call us on 0343 222 1234 and we?ll be happy to help you. Kind regards Andrew Ackford Customer Service Adviser Transport for London Customer Services"

Reply from Cllr Livingstone is response to mine re brown bins Dear Richard Thank you for your email. Yes, the council has decided to introduce a ?30 per year charge to collect garden waste and this will start on 3 June. The charge will be for a financial year (April to March) but as the first year will be for ten months, the charge will be reduced pro rata to ?25 for 2019/20. Food waste brown bins will, however, remain as a free service to Southwark residents. The council will be writing to residents next month to outline the charge and there will be further information in May. Most other London boroughs already charge for garden waste and ?30 is the lowest level charged (one borough charges ?75). This has not been an easy decision for the council, but as you observe money does not grow on trees and this council has suffered some of the most drastic cuts in funding from government since 2010. Back then, government grants made up 72% of the council?s budget and since then the government have taken away 63p of every pound given. This is before inflation is even considered. If the council is still to provide quality services and protect what are its most expensive services ? those that protect our most vulnerable residents ? it is necessary for us to start charging for those things that other councils started charging for years ago. I hope this explains why we have had to take this difficult decision. Regards Councillor Richard Livingstone Cabinet member for Environment, Transport Management and Air Quality Labour councillor for Old Kent Road Ward London Borough of Southwark From: richard tudor [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 22, 2019 1:38 PM To: Livingstone, Richard; John, Peter Subject: Brown bins. There are many rumours regarding the possibility of charging for the use of brown bins for food waste and compostable garden waste. Why have we not been informed about the possibility happening and consulting with residents. Is this yet again like the charging for using parks, no one being informed just a decision taken hoping no one will find out until it is to late.It might be better for you and your fellow Cllrs to realise that money just does not appear from the money tree and life is getting more difficult meeting all these new charges. We would all like to get Southwark's staffs cost of living rises and progression up the salary scale every year. I would appreciate an answer.

Those works have been there for a long time. Both there and works outside the new Charter school.

Grove Lane this morning. All the way down to Denmark Hill. To bad if you wanted to get to Herne Hill or Rusking Park, Kings College.The master plan is working. Can anyone remember it this bad before Champion Hill was closed. A revision of this crazy plan is needed immediately. They could not see this happening.

Following an email to Richard Livingstone regarding timed restrictions the following has been received back. As it was never proposed as an option in the consultation document I do find it hard to believe it was ever considered but never mentioned. The answer could have come from Sir Humphrey Appleby, GCB, KBE, MVO, MA (Oxon), "Yes Minister.himself. If all viability and criteria had not been considered in full why implement the closure. This ridiculous idea should not have been implemented. So people you have been legged over 100% by Southwark who wanted this scheme and no other. They will not consider anything thing until a years time and then it will stay. I think we all know that. "Livingstone, Richard Tue 12/02/2019 16:15 Dear Mr Tudor Our officers have considered the proposal for timed restrictions. However, at this stage they are unable to implement such a timed restriction as they are still exploring the viability and criteria to introduce such a restriction I have bene told that our officers are happy to explore this option in the future, depending on the outcomes of trial" Regards Councillor Richard Livingstone Cabinet member for Environment, Transport Management and Air Quality Labour councillor for Old Kent Road Ward

Almost 10 years ago you mentioned you lived on the front of the estate facing the road beyond the grass and pavement where you found it was not to your liking so you left. Would those living in front and behind now in 2019 have the same views as 2015. Champion Hill is now very much quieter for cycles, pedestrians and for cars. A new consultation should have been made before closing this road off, since 2015 when this was conducted things have greatly changed. It is a very pleasant street and safe street for all to use, not that it was not before. So how many votes were cast yes/No is important to know. Distance from the front of a property to a road could be important as it might effect how to vote. To some not all.

Only in your mind. All I wanted to know was how many voted yes and how many voted no.

The question asked was how did Ruskin Park House vote?

From: richard tudor Sent: 09 November 2018 16:58 To: Livingstone, Richard; Ali, Jasmine Subject: Re: Champion Hill Closure Thank your for your prompt reply. I have now found the 2015 scheme on the Southwark web site that prompted this scheme and have already replied to the current scheme from the website. What I found interesting on the 2015 questionaire response is only 30 people from Champion Hill voted. The response from all the surrounding streets balloted just about got on the the reply side which shows peoples concern is not as urgent as is being made out but allowed the instigators to use these figures to push ahead. Ruskin Park House produced 99 responses. However there is no breakdown on how Champion Hill, on the actual road voted or how the flats of Ruskin Park House, with most way off the actual road, voted. It would be interesting to know how many actual local residents have asked Southwark to reduce the impact of cars along Champion Hill over the last few years as you stated below. I hope you/Southwark Council are going to produce the full results of the current survey. "We wouldn?t ask if we didn?t intend to listen." if people voted no from the current survey would you shut the scheme down? Again I appreciate your prompt response. Regards True to say I have never received and reply or response to thee above email of 8th November 2018. Like all of Southwark's Consultations they only take the figures they need to get what they want through. There is no need for this trial closure to happen.

Thank you

"As today is the first day of the DKH CPZ, can you confirm, as per your email below, parking will be enforced with the hand held computers to detect all non paying cars. Parking and permit holders? Second, We have just been told that the on street pay parking is ?2.70 an hour, hardly likely to deter commuters to the city. I have just seen a Zip car just park on a resident only bay when told it was resident parking he said "so what"and said I am leaving the car here and walked off Will it get a ticket? How long will that car stay there Top of the hill before the railway bridge on Chadwick Road I look forward to receiving your response". In response to this question below is the answer, Be under no illusion Southwark wants private cars off the road and a CPZ is taking us towards that aim. Good morning Mr Tudor, Thank you for your email. Parking enforcement started yesterday for the new Dog Kennel Hill parking zone. On street parking in a section of Chadwick Road is ?2.70 per hour. As stated, most of the kerbside space across the whole of the zone is for permit holders only and thus cannot be used by commuters. The council is actively supporting car clubs as an alternative to car ownership, every car club vehicle removes the need for our residents to own a car or own a second car. Zip Car and DriveNow have a contract with Southwark Council and they have purchased virtual permits for their vehicle fleet which allows them to park in any permitted parking bay in Southwark. Therefore this vehicle is not parked illegally and is parked where it is permitted. Kind regards Joanna Redshaw The Southside of Chadwick Road has resident permits CPR 11-1 ,the Northside is park and pay. So park up on Northside residents/commuter bays and ring up at 11am and pay to allow all day parking. Also commercial company vehicles just pay for a blanket permit and can just take residents spaces. Not what residents thought they were getting 'As stated, most of the kerbside space across the whole of the zone is for permit holders only and thus cannot be used by commuters." As another poster mentioned take a look at the signs now up and you will be in for a surprise, park and pay.

As I recall, but cannot like you spend time going through old posts, I am sure I have previously said I have no idea who Dullywood is. Up up and away with the clipboard and door knocking. Have other things to do now, goodnight.
