Scooters/motorbikes being driven down cycle paths
spider69 replied to nbridgeman1's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Should have said, how big does the person or child have to be before you stop being a super hero? pity you cannot direct this Charles Bronson approach to some of our cycling brethren -

How big would they have to be before you pissed your pants? -
Look on the bright side, all 20 mph fines could be given to L/H to cover bodged repairs. As if.
-
Thanks for this info.where exactly are the cameras? As you turn right going up Sydenham Hill from Lordship Lane and then along the road from the roundabout up to Crystal Palace. You are correct kerching Will buses be flashed and fined?

Where did this happen.

As they drive all day I would think they have a better idea of safe speeds than a Council Officer sitting in their office ticking P.C boxes. No body yet has explained how this madness was included in the manifesto under healthy living.

As a matter of interest I drove at 20mph along the route above on empty roads and yes I did feel like cutting my wrists at the end. Can easily see how this will become a cash cow. A very badly thought out scheme from start to finish.

You could have also included It's clear that the Committee has agreed that the suggestion is really an excellent plan. But in view of some of the doubts being expressed, may I propose that I recall that after careful consideration, the considered view of the Committee was that, while they considered that the proposal met with broad approval in principle, that some of the principles were sufficiently fundamental in principle, and some of the considerations so complex and finely balanced in practice that in principle it was proposed that the sensible and prudent practice would be to submit the proposal for more detailed consideration, laying stress on the essential continuity of the new proposal with existing principles, the principle of the principal arguments which the proposal proposes and propounds for their approval. In principle.

Dulwich Estate - fit to run conservation?

Out of interest looked on Google at this very nice street, Just how many are still social housing and not been sold off under Right to Buy? Not an area one equates to Social Housing in ones mind -
New residents in ED have their head up their arse that they have no idea of the real world. All they are worried about is how I can protect my over paid house,s value. Lets wish for a new financial crash and see how things change.

I have used Iceland in Peckham and found the staff no where near as good and the store leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Once the store in LL closes I wont be going out of my way to visit Peckham. Great shame as the LL Iceland was an oasis in what ED was once all about. Still I have been in my house since 1966. Rock ON

North X Road Market - more road closures proposed
spider69 replied to nxjen's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Out of interest how many people have responded to you? More importantly how many people asked you for the above? If it had not been posted on this forum would we have been told before it all went ahead. -

Posted by richard tudor 13 December, 2012 09:32 Perhaps ED people believe they are in the film Independence Day. Went to bed one night living in their perfect fashioned world and next morning, it all changed.HELP Iceland is always mentioned but it was there long before many people moved in when not being able to afford elsewhere. Whilst it is welcome for the area to improve do not ignore the requirements of others. Rather like the old days of moving to a country village because it was cute and then doing all in ones power to make it over to to where they came from. People make an area not prissy shops.

North X Road Market - more road closures proposed
spider69 replied to nxjen's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Why would Council Officers ask for this just like that? Is this do do with proposed revamp of pavements around Lord P Pub at great expense for no reason Perhaps Cllr Barber could throw some more light on this and who has requested Cllr Officers to raise this -

I am sure you know. Road tax or what ever it is called. Cannot be bothered to look it up. -

Why? If people have paid their car licence they are entitled to use the road. There too much let's close this and that. The road has always been a thru road long before the recent influx of people. -

spider69 replied to James Barber's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
How long before people admit it should have been as it was? Change for the sake of change and lust for free money handouts -
When Cllr Barber came off his bike was that an accident or what?
-
How long? Both for TFL and Southwark roads. If you took the accidents on Townley road it would prove nothing. Do not think a short period of time will prove anything. You have to take things over a much longer period. Still Southwark will jump on a figure and convert it into positive spin for a flawed policy.

Most Leaseholders consider Southwark Service Charges and Major Works obscene. So it could have been

Protect Peckham's Future: art deco, cultural economy, & more
spider69 replied to Eileen's topic in The Lounge
I was under the impression that the buildings fronting the station were to be pulled down, opening up the whole area into a useable and people friendly square. The concrete mass should be pulled down. Dark and very depressing. In fact the whole block area should have been pulled down. -
why cant the Dulwich Park ones be open. Closed since they started the drainage works which finished sometime ago?
