Spartacus

I guess, in a few weeks we will see if he is still a councillor or goes back to teaching 🤔

Thanks CHAV GPT, is there anything you don't know 😂

That is assuming the traveller isn't in a wheelchair or has other mobility requirements which requires assistance getting on and off a train, whereas a bus simply extends the ramp and makes it a lot more convenient for the traveller at both ends.

Or maybe let @malumbu come round and test it for you, thus potentially getting two birds with one stone 🤣

If I was cynical, I would say that he has jumped ship before the May elections where Labour councils across the country are in fear of a blood bath

It is looking like we will.get an increase of 4.99% by Southwark plus the additional increase of £20.13 by the GLA https://opencouncil.network/meetings/96736 Whilst there are compelling reasons that councils need more funding, it still is a painful increase whilst we are still in the cost of living crisis, unemployment is rising and other factors.

Define unnecessary What may seem unnecessary to you could be critical to how others get around Looking through your rose coloured cycling glasses ignores what for some are necessary journeys Therefore please define unnecessary talung into account other peoples needs.

Ferris Bueller having a day off ?

@DulvilleRes is this who you think runs one dulwich 😂

Blimey, the Modern House has some interesting properties There goes my evening and my impending lottery win 🤣

With May fast approaching, anythings possible 🤔

I sometimes have to question when schemes like this are "rushed" through without the correct level of due diligence, if someone in the council or a good friend lives in the area concerned. Possibly wrong but makes me wonder 🤔

What isn't clear from the data is how much are LTNs responsible for the drops , how much is down to ULEZ, the impact of moving away from diesel vehicles, the increased electrification of the bus network and cars plus cleaner petrol engines. So many factors behind those figures , however all great seeing drops in pollution.

Maybe, as there are 7 of them, the front one could be Chris Adams and they are here to save the East Dulwich townsfolk from the gang of bandits led by Calvera 😅 Although I suspect that there maybe a problem further up route and they are waiting for it to clear.

You have raised a useful pount. Here, and other areas, signage is often positioned too close to the road closure, not giving drivers sufficient warning to take another route to avoid it. An example I saw last year was where you only saw the "school street" signage as you turned into the school street itself thus potentially incuring a fine. Clear and early signage is always helpful to reduce transgressions and /or unexpected 3 point turns at the restriction entrance.

Oh please, not another anti anti LTN post 🤣

Is Larry the cat about to get a new housemate and the current one moves out ?

Good question

This thread is about thw gyratory proposal not cycling training Maybe ask that question of Rocks in the thread it is posted in rather than derailing this one. James, like any poster on here, is entitled to an opinion however you "butted" in on his comments so maybe you should consider why you see others as butting in on yours 🤔

And JD Vance just joined the discussion 😅 The cycling video was a different thread and has funk all to do with the gyratory Keep on track

Blimey you two, stop bickering over who is Trump and who is Melania. All this "foreplay" between you is just distracting from the real issue. Let's get back to debating the scheme, merits and issues and if you want to jibe at each other I am sure the best western in Peckham can provide you a room!

With regards the proposed scheme Removing paid parking will have an impact on the shops and resturants in the proposed area as it will be harder for "passing" trade to stop quickly and pick things up It also makes it harder for disabled drivers as they will have to park in the middle (5 spaces?) And then cross the road to get to the shops Currently, with the exception of a short time period in the morning, buses flow fairly freely through the proposed area so is this over engineering the solution? Unless i am wrong, the bus gate on Peckham Rye appears to stop cars, vans and taxis going to the gyratory from east dulwich road and from the forest hill / Barry Road direction, does this then impact traffic that needs to go to nunhead from the latter direction as there is no right turn at the lights ? How will this be managed or are cars going to be forced down to turn around at the goose green roundabout ? Basically, this is a poor design that will have massive negative impacts across a wider area fixing a problem that doesn't really exist and should be objected to and brought into scrutiny.

Blimey Mal, thats a bit rich even for you James, when he was a councillor, helped keep the council in check and under scrutiny I for one would welcome that level of due diligence again as over the last 4 years they have steamrollered over public opinion. Has CPR Dave posted anything positive, in your opinion no, but in my opinion neither have you, however it is a public debating platform so everyone's opinion is valid, (sorry not just yours) and we all need to respect each other and have good discussions otherwise it becomes a vocal amplifier for one view or the other and this is not twitter/x where the algorithm feeds and amplifies your own views and strokes your ego.

Suella Braverman has just defected Can anyone explain what the lure of reform is? Or are MPs defecting because the way the country is going to vote, it may well guarentee them a seat (and nothing to do with their political beliefs)

I've heard of this, similar to rural Cow Tipping, looks like Van Tipping has arrived in ED 😆
