Did these tickets start appearing when Southwark needed money when Government grants were reduced. As far back as I can remember people always parked there and there were never any accidents. Is it people people are more stupid than in the past and cannot see further than their phones or coffee cups so Southwark has to take action on their behalf to safeguard them?

police using speed radar checks on camberwell grove

No doubt the same group who many years ago wanted to put a toll gate across Camberwell Grove as it was used as a rat run and caused residents to suffer noise. Although it is a major road going at an excess speed is very difficult,rather like LL from Goose green up to Townley Road. If the police do not have a problem why should Southwark Council try to impose their speed limit. -
disabled bays.. do they 'belong' to anyone?
spider69 replied to shell's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I was always under the impression that a disabled bay no matter where was for anybody. The resident may have applied for it but it is not for their own personal use. I have a neighbour who uses it as their own personal parking space because the badge in a parents name. Who is housebound and never goes out so they make use of it. -

Good article surprised the Prince Albert in "Bellenden Village" was not mentioned. Been there around longer than many of the Peckham pubs

Southwarks aim is to make all the Borough a CPZ to generate revenue. What they could have done is make Southwark a CPZ and issued free parking permits to all residents. I have three children if they all come one the same day its costs me three residents parking permits even if they only stay for an hour. At some point all Southwark will be a CPZ as free parking is slowly erased. Southwark hates the motorist but has an orgasm if you mention cyclists and all things green. Unfortunately it is too late to stop this slow death of personal choice. They work for us. They seem to have forgotten this simple fact

But does she own the land or does the garden center or building merchants. Sets precedent, been happening for as long as I can remember many many decades That is the question. New incomer land grab? Answer on a postcard please. Suspect theres is more to this than meets the eye. Never a problem before.

have you any idea where this road is? Dropping someone off or collecting using this bit of road makes a lot of sense, better than blocking the main road/ That is anti social.

Fusion leisure centres contract not renewed by Southwark
spider69 replied to JohnL's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Why not ask the question. Why did Southwark not monitor the situation? Inexperience Southwark staff perhaps. -
Posted by James Barber Today, 11:19AM "Changes seem good to me. One-way gyratory systems usually lead to speeding and community dislocation - residents opposite sides of roads know each other less." As the only houses facing each other are on the first part of Chadwick/Lyndhurst Way one way and the rest of the system have no facing houses only warehouses it seems a silly point but no doubt these arguments will be put forward by Cllrs such as yourself. I am sure people are quite capable of speaking to someone on the opposite of the road if they want to. Just improve the junctions with better crossings. The rest works fine.

19% response out of 100% a complete ramp. Take a look at the actual numbers not the %. If this is a mandate for change there is something very wrong, still quoting the % as Southwark always does means they will force it through although the consultation had a very poor response. Still it was advertised far and wide for all to see. Should be thrown in the bin. A complete joke. Still labour Cllrs will push it through. They should resign as they do not represent the lane only a few.

When it has cost ?496.000.00 over three years. No. Put machines so they can buy their own or bring it in like many work places.

You get on a bus to get from A to B quickly. Get on in a good mood and get off fuming. Those that have sweet FA to do might think it green and saving a polar bear somewhere but many people who have to work for a living do not. The latest EU proposal is to make all inner cities congestion charge zones and start charging., No doubt Southwark will be up there first off the blocks.

New Playground - Dulwich Park

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3442542/I-ve-away-railings-expensive-90-year-old-book-shows-inventor-children-s-playground-complete-disdain-health-safety.html Perhaps we should revert back to these. I can remember these in Ruskin Park when I grew up. Magic. H & S what is that? -
New Playground - Dulwich Park
spider69 replied to Earl Aelfheah's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Perhaps the 2004 flood horror could have been prevented if the drains and sewers had been maintained. Unfortunately they were not, hence overload. From childhood I can remember the drains etc being sucked and cleared and this problem never existed, does it ever happen now? -
