I guess what will be good is that only people who live locally and are affected by the LTNs can vote here so we shouldn't see outside influces from pro LTN groups (including the cycling fraternity) shepherding supporters into the area to influence decisions.

The chippie on North Cross Road is just about to start using delivery services but has been quoted that they take a 30 to 50% commission for each transaction. That's a ridiculous amount and if that's true across all small restaurants then for them to make money out of it they may have raised their prices Is having an app to feed your junk food addiction worth paying higher prices for or is it better for your bank balance, fitness and the environment to simply walk somewhere and collect the food in person 🤔? Cut out the middle man and deal directly with local businesses is my advice.

Apparently tractor sites are linked to porn. Who knew that Massey Fergusan is a chesty Sarah Fergusan impersonation act 🤣 Is it me or does anyone expect Neil Parish to do a statement like this

James Point 40 talks about encouraging zero emission or lower polluting cars and says "Lower parking fees ...across the whole of the Borough" Does this imply a Borough wide CPZ is on the cards if Labour wins?

Was anyone at the Dulwich Hill Hustings this week, what were the main points that cane out of it and what was said about building on green spaces, LTNs and a Borough wide CPZ ?

Got to say, this is doing the rounds and made me smile

I've had mine (or was it yours and mine is still to come) Do you pay by dd and are you band a to d ?

Jazzer Just had a similar conversation about end of year budget and the concept of "pre election" was raised (as in look what we are doing to improve things) No idea if there's a correlation or not but it was an interesting point. Also why were the Rye Lane roadworks not done when the lane was closed to all traffic is a mystery 🤔

Here's a question If a delivery company screws up your order and you claim a refund. Who takes the hit, the delivery company or the restaurant?

I don't think they have, from discussions with friends the fear of this going nuclear is scaring the cr@p out of most of them. Sydney's now deleted post asked why we are involved as we don't have a dog in the fight. The concept is that if many countries can help stop Ukraine from being taken then it will also prevent more countries bring invaded. It's akin to the question "what if Hitier was prevented from taking Poland?" Could ww2 have been contained or thwarted before it really started ? People are concerned but apart from protesting, taking in refugees from Ukraine, the real way to help is what is already being done by many countries, supplying defensive weapons, economic sanctions and weaning away from any dependency on Russia. More can be done to "sting" the bear I'm sure but I'm guessing measured steps are the way and seeing what each step brings (good or bad) before the next one is better then running head long into doing everything and realising that half the effort would have achieved the same. Regardless it will take decades (at least) before any nation trusts Russia again which is sad for the Russian people as they will be the ones who suffer sanctions and financial hardships due to the ambitions of one man.

Over the past week, I've noticed a lot more heavy vehicles (lorries and big soil transporters) coming out of the side roads down from Barry Road onto Lordship Lane. It's possibly due to the road works at the corner of Peckham Rye / East Dulwich Road but strikes me as dangerous as the side roads aren't wide enough for such heavy vehicles and pedestrians wouldn't expect them. Are others noticing the same?

It's going to be interesting to see the actual results

Interesting question. If it was a case of landlords exercising their right to close due to either previous incidents or fear of damage and trouble and or the police asking them to close, then what are forumites proposing should happen ? Or are we all metaphorically muttering into our pints by discussing it on here ? Ultimately it shouldn't really happen but for reasons we as non publicans or police may not understand or agree with, it does.

CPR Dave It does raise a question over this thread on the same day too /forum/read.php?5,2272638,2273166#msg-2273166
