But failing that I'm going to buy one of the disused DUKW vehicles that the tour company in London isn't using any more (they look like this : https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/23595/lot/143/) DC you need to get your DUKWs in a row if you are linking installing LTNs to stopping global warming as the UK and European car industry is being moved away from fossil fuels ...

I'm now getting the next iteration of the Amazon prime renewal calls It goes "You have spent ?399 pounds on your amazon order and your purchase will be dispatched soon. If you did not make this purchase press 1 to cancel." Really can't wait to see what I bought, hoping it's at least something useful or frivolous like a drum kit so next time a spammer calla I can play my drums down the phone to them.😱

Just saw this on the news : BBC News - Car smashes into Newham house in early hours https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-56174464 It happened in an LTN which is a bit weird.

With shows now starting to match actors to their roles Disabled Actors in Disabled roles LGBT Actors in LGBT roles BAME Actors voicing BAME characters in animations What's going to happen to characters like Peter Pan in pantos? Will political correctness see boys playing the leading roles and Dames being played by girls ?

Goose Green councillors - how can we help?
Spartacus replied to jamesmcash's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
James With the roadmap announcement last night and all covid restrictions to be removed no earlier than the 21st June, is there any justification to keep or install new driving restrictions which were imposed under the partial reason of "to enable social distancing to keep people safe from Covid" past the 21St June ? What's the councils stance on this ? -
With last nights roadmap to unlocking announced and the plan for full restrictions to be removed no earlier than the 21st June, does this imply that making streets covid safe will also be removed ? Could make an interesting challenge to part of the reasons used by Southwark for closing off roads in East Dulwich and Peckham 🤔

I guess this is appropriate as a choice for chocolate (sorry DC, may not be up your street 😱)

21st June for everything, if all goes well Then we can really party like its 1999

There are deniers (conspiracy theorists and such like) and vaccine refusers Both groups are not mutually exclusive and they may well die out as time goes by.

But that's what you have been doing by saying its only a small minority and going on about the pressure to get rid of cars As there's been no other formal or informal consultation (as you are dismissing the streetspace common place and other petitions) then you are only interpreting your hearsay and views of like minded people. Simple solution is a transparent, defined and fair consultation where the rules and assessment criteria are known in advance. But you never seem to agree to that. Why is that DC ? Are you afraid that you will find yourself in the minority ?

DulwichCentral Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Everyone is free to openly support the LTN > if they want to. Again, its a free country. Interesting you say that yet you also said in an earlier post: "As pointed out above by @March46 the commonplace feedback is open to corruption, as was the petition against the closures which didn't request postcode verification." So which is it, people who don't live locally can get involved regardless of which side their support land on or they can't ? I'm nightly confused by what you actually want DC !🤔

Not according to the King of Leon BBC News - Leon boss warns longer lockdown 'will cost lives' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-56137815

I'm sure that every person who's life is saved by a slow unlocking, wouldn't agree with your last statement Cat It's a matter of perspective, too slow for businesses and economy, but too fast to stop additional infections and deaths Not a roadmap I would want to draw up or be held accountable for.

And if the 729 were in favour of the LTN would you will be discussing it as unrepresentative ? That's democracy in action, whomever gets the majority vote (regardless of whom voted) wins

Most sites like this are built and maintained by third parties including some of the tools on southwarks own website However the key is that the council told people to use it as a comment gathering service. Do you have any evidence of bot activity or are you just speculating?

Ex and DC You sound like children caught with their arms deep in the cookie jar and trying to blame everyone else when a grown up finds out the truth As rockets said, it's not a vocal minority and as a minimum it demonstrates the need for a fair, unbiased and accountable consultation to occur Do you deny the need for said consultation to get an accurate picture or are you still grabbing at crumbs at the bottom of that jar ?

I'm waiting on the new album by Tash Sultana, Terra Firma, to be delivered today and I'll see if any tracks are worth adding to this list But based on her last album I hope/expect so.. . -
Lol There was a strong field of contenders to be the architect so it wasn't a case they were too busy, just didn't win the bid. https://www.designboom.com/architecture/the-factory-manchester-shortlist-zaha-hadid-oma-rem-koolhaas-diller-scofidio-renfro-09-23-2015/ There is a denier question that I thought about this morning. If a worker in a care home refuses to be vaccinated and subsequently gets Covid and people in their care catch it from the worker and die. Could the worker be charged with manslaughter for not taking appropriate precautions ? It would be an interesting legal case I think

DR Maybe the ones who post in the same thread just like talking to themselves, gawd knows this lock down has found me asking myself questions and not being happy with my own answers But I'm in two minds over my theory 😱😝

DC I've asked a similar question before but didn't get an answer If the analysis from one Dulwich showed an overwhelming positive response for the scheme would you be crowing about it or still be saying that the site is open to abuse and the results should be disregarded ? What's your answer DulwichCentral ?

That's something you need to take up with the council as the site was created, maintained and promoted by the council The one Dulwich report just used the same data that the council would have access to. If you believe there is something underhand about the data and site then discuss it with the council who can put your mind at rest or confirm the situation

I assume Henry and yourself are aware of Soutwark's Commonplace site that was set up to collect feedback on the road closures and other measures ss the part of the Council's Covid Streetspace scheme And the summation of the data https://dulwichalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Dulwich-has-Spoken.pdf It's where southwark asked us to tell them our views and the majority said there are problems and want the scheme removed.
