Dog Kennel Hill is far from Walworth Road, so how does that fit in with its shrinking rollcall?

Policing the DYLs of a morning and afternoon on all corners would be a cheaper and more profitable solution, at least in the short term!

Maybe, and/or other "solutions" but the blokes in fluorescent kit only talked about measures in general.

As for wearing masks indoors by workpeople....? Because there is no official rule, people are using their own rules. I think that is fair enough, at this stage in the pandemic. If you want someone you have in your home whose vaccine status you don't know, just ask them to wear one or go away! Simple

many families walk in the road - then don't! It is a ROAD not a FOOTPATH and as such is there for permissible wheeled vehicles, like bikes, e-bikes, scooters, wheelchairs, etc. LTNs are not just about pedestrians - they are there for certain forms of transport, just not motorised ones. Take care!

I don't understand - how come it is permissible to go across council borders if there are schools that have places to fill in your home council? Or have I misunderstood? Can't really understand the idea of local level school administration - why not be national, like in France?

Men in full flouro kit with theodolites measuring up for plans that will be used by the council when setting out new road measures in and around Goodrich, they say. (They measure everything so a scale plan can be used by the council when they are deciding on doing whatever they decide to do.)

It is just to allow cyclists to know that this is an alternative route and not necessarily a proper, sanctioned one.

Does this mean that classroom numbers will necessarily fall? If so, could this be a plus-point from this situation?

Why not allow mopeds below a certain CC through these roadblocks. In time they'll be electric and not as noisy. On the whole I think two-wheels, whether motorised or not, are much less of a problem in terms of congestion and pollution than four-wheeled vehicles (even the leccy ones take up a bigger physical footprint on the road, after all). If cycles, which can go at a fair lick, are allowed then why not Vespas, etc? Are LTNs about pollution, congestion, safety, sending signals? Hmmm

Perhaps it is part of the London-wide cycle network, or simply a nudge to remind people that cycling is an option. I think road closures will be few and far between given the LTN debacle. (I wish the council would encourage and make safer walking by making overgrown bush owners cut them back and smoothing out dips and trip-hazards on footpaths as well as promoting cycling, which I am in favour of.)

? There is violence that derives from two men trying to go illegally through a barrier ,commonly referred to as LTN although that actually means the area rather than the means to make it low-traffic. It is shorthand - please don't see it as anything more than that. Sheesh - talk about sensitive! The men were told no to go through by well-meaning citizen/nosy parker, depending on your point of view, got arsey and violent. Up to you whether you prefer to discount facts and/or put a motive on the article writer and/or EDF poster.

18/10 was the date announced by the council a few weeks ago.

Some send a label and then collect. Worth a quick search to see which are operating here in London.

HIya - I pick up a fair bit of litter (cans and bottles mainly) along the side of Colyton Road, park side, especially nearer to the girls' school. Some of it is hidden by bushes, etc. I don't have a picker-upper so only touch the surface so maybe the hard to reach ones are for you and your volunteers!

Then it?s performative squared.

Performative nonsense.

Given it?s not a legal requirement and that most adults are double jabbed I can see why people don?t automatically think they need to wear one if they?re a tradesperson. If you?re concerned ask that they do so, ideally a day before they arrive. As for the shoes, most people I know and have ever known don?t take their own shoes off or ask me to do so. It?s your house so just ask visitors to do what you?d like them to do and don?t rely on people picking up on messages they?re unlikely to intuit.

Another barbershop? There is a lot of competition already so I hope it does well.

Are there similar reports on walking/wheelchair use alone, ie. not lumped in with "cycling, scootering, etc."?

Yes, they like the crabapples near me and are very largely silent, unlike the green flying devils! I saw two dunnocks out back the other day but have not seen a jay, blackbird or finch for months.

Councillors and officers sometimes seem to live in the flat-but-joyous images that adorn plans for communal spaces, leisure centres, transport interchanges, and as such like to believe that such pictures are reality. How anyone could think removing public transport in an area where locals are much less likely to cycle than in adjoining (richer) areas, let alone one which has a busy rail station hitherto served by five or more routes from all compass points, baffles me. Cycles, buses and limited commercial vehicles can easily live together; people don't want to feel that their mode of transport is being promoted or demoted so don't segregate where it is unnecessary. Cycling is great but not for everyone by a long chalk and provision of public transport on main thoroughfares (especially where an important rail hub is situated) is egalitarian and progressive, as well as making economic sense.
