  1. How does a CPZ reduce pollution Mal ? If a car is parked its not polluting, if the driver doesn't have a permit they will be forced to moved their car daily this increasing pollution. So as a pollution reducing measure it hasn't got any merit. CPZs are supposed to aid residents parking when there are parking pressures in their area, they are not designed as a green measure, also CPZs apply to electric cars as well so that's not encouraging take up of electric now is it. So please explain how a CPZ will reduce emissions as you claim .
  2. Fantastic So the councils "poster scheme" restricting access to the village is going to get parking restrictions, why ? Cars are restricted from the area, apart from an occasional flurry of parking around the picture gallery or the pub, the area doesn't have issue. There is limited public transport in the village so not commuter pressure 😉 I can only suspect that the council are hoping for apathy in the consultation as most big houses have off street parking so they won't vote either way. Let's hope and prey not and the village folk vote it down otherwise the impact on the shops in the area will be catastrophic with the double impact of restricted access and no parking.
  3. Looks more like an issue with the delivery driver than the resturant Complain to whomever you ordered it through and say that it looks like the driver dropped it.
  4. While you can’t normally be charged for speeding on a bicycle you could, in extreme cases, be charged with careless cycling (maximum fine £1,000) or dangerous cycling (max fine £2,500). Furthermore, local bye-laws can impose limits on cyclists. Bournemouth’s promenade, for example, has a speed limit of 10mph (and on some days bikes aren’t allowed there at all).
  5. Earl, let's be logical. If a cyclist is injured as a result say of jumping a red light then statistics say its a Road Traffic Accident regardless who is in the wrong and as a result, the vehicle hitting the cyclist may cause death or injury. In circumstances lile this it is still chalked up as a vehicle injured or killed, yet the fault potentially lays with the cyclist. So looking at the black and stark figure of 30,000 deaths and injuries glosses over the cause and fault. Not saying its always the cyclist but I am saying blame where blame falls when you examime a single number like that. It's got to be that everyone, drivers, pedestrians and cyclists take care on the road to reduce the stark death and injury number.
  6. Not if they are riding at night without lights they're not 😎🤣
  7. Who exactly are "We" in your reference Earl ? Are you part of a shadowy pro organisation like Dulvilleres tries to paint one dulwich as 😅 Remember what is key here is local data for our local scheme.
  8. Don't worry people It's time for the annual game of "when will the Christmas card from aunt Flo actually arrive?" All bets between now and next 3rd December are valid
  9. The council are not the keepers of the law What else would you want them to take on Mal ? Capturing robbers? Telling people their loved ones have died ? Responding to public order offences ? Absolutely not, don't diminish the powers of the police by asking the council to do it, who will reduce the service when times are tough ! The council are not the police
  10. CPZ now that's an annoying acronym as is LTN 🤣
  11. I didn't say it was unjust, I just said it's not something I would want to be in the hands of a council.
  12. Mal Imagine if they were allowed to continue, every council officers eyes alk over the country would light up.as they saw, not a a scheme to reduce speeding, but a massive cash grab by simply putting cameras on every road. Unfortunately, whilst preventing speeding is a good thing, giving that power to councils and allowing them to keep the fines isn't.
  13. Wandsworth were stopped from doing that https://www.localgov.co.uk/Wandsworth-Council-stopped-from-issuing-unlawful-fines/55629#:~:text=The council had introduced speed,drivers with the local authority.
  14. Major Incident obviously reports to General Calamity but out ranks Private Function. Hopefully Corperal Jones wasn't there to create a panic.
  15. Phew I was thinking, I know Peckham is moving up the gentrification league but wines that are nearly 200 years old would be ruddy expensive 🤔
  16. What on earth is a "Georgian" wine shop and how is it different to any other wine shop ? 🤔
  17. I suspect that should they go out to tender in the uture for the event, knowing how much they got paid would be commercial interest to bidders. Maybe the FOI needs to focus on understanding the percentage terms, how are the fees received for the event divided out. Thus will show where it all goes and what it is used for.
  18. Headnun, the footage you refer to has been questioned and is possibly from a different event a few years ago in different country. (Subject to verification) During the great wars, negative media atrocity propaganda campaigns were employed by both sides, One such story was that German soldiers were deliberately mutilating Belgian babies by cutting off their hands, in some versions even eating them. Eyewitness accounts told of having seen a similarly mutilated baby. (False) Care should always be taken to verify something before posting it as factual.
  19. There are a lot of adverts for Christmas on the Goggle box showing family Christmases with an excess of food and drink where the table legs look lile they are just about to give out. With the cost of living crisis and a lot of families not able to afford a lavish Christmas, have the advertisers struck a wrong note this year or are they going to drive people into unaffordable debt to deliver the advertisers dream Christmas?
  20. From the BBC news today "The Isreali military has told Palestinians in northern Gaza to leave for their own safety and has now begun telling people in the southern city of Khan Younis, where many thousands of people who have fled northern Gaza are, that they must now also leave " It opens up a question of what the end game looks like, once the IDF are satisfied Hamas is gone, will they return Gaza to the Palestinians and help them rebuild ? Or will a tranche of land be retained as a buffer between the two states ? What happens next will be key to future relations between the two States and the Arab world.
  21. As far as I understand it, they are a group of local residents who oppose the LTN and after the issues where pro LTN supporters targeted signs opposing the LTN, they obviously don't want to attract attention to whom they actually are. They aren't the illuminati pulling strings of world leaders and certainly not sinister shadowy characters trying to throw the next election.
  22. This post reads like a conspiracy theory 🤔 Are LTN supporters real? are LTN layouts in fact messages from higher intelligence (like crop circles)? Are there lights on every cycle ? Only the Southwark X files know !!!
  23. A CPZ just means you pay more for your car to "stand still" it doesn't magically remove all cars from all streets In areas where CPZs are introduced, there is still a high proportion of people who choose to still own a car. Your argument is nonsensical
