When have you ever read on this forum that I was in the wrong from either a biker or driver?

See my post of 12th November, all the breakdowns for work are available as these are needed to produce the Actuals

New shops in Dulwich Village Published on Tuesday, 12 November 2013 11:06 Increased competition has meant that Sergio?s, the delicatessen in the Village, is no longer. However, all is not lost as the lease has been assigned to another deli operator and the new shop should open in the next few days, a team of shopfitters are working to make it ready sometime this week. Last Updated on Tuesday, 12 November 2013 11:06 Dulwich Society One out another in. Life goes on

You will be surprised just how quick they respond. All inquirys are logged and have a time limit in which a response is required. No Council Officer likes getting such a request which is flagged to managers Any charge ask for a complete break down. dont take no for an answer The LVT is a last result

The whole area is a pit and needs a full revamp. It may be trendy at the moment until the hipsters or what ever people are called etc move on and then we the local residents are left with something we have been trying for years to improve. We will be left with the dross yet again. The area always had soul. I have to admit the scrap yard does add a bit of class From Rye Lane to Bellenden road the triangle needs removing. Look at the area without out the trendy rose tinted glasses.

Does this apply to Iceland when it was called slumlike. Or does it only apply to indy shops?

As DavidH discribed it as SLUMLIKE on another thread surprised H &S have not closed it before. Maybe busy with other trendy LL shops? Perhaps the happy staff have helped to keep it open.

I dont find Iceland slumlike in fact it is very clean and very acceptable as a shop. Please explain why you find it slumlike. Or is it because you live in a far different world to other people

"But a park clogged with cars is undesirable for all park users, so proposals to limit them are worth considering." People seem to forget or have no idea that Dulwich Park had parking all round the perimeter road in past years until it was restricted to just the Dulwich entrance and the small car park. It has all ready been considered and a workable and lasting solution has been provided. Dulwich park is not clogged with cars. So not sure why this is being considered. Would love to see tired old and young children, bikes, dogs and toys etc etc being taken on a bus or walking for 30 minutes after a days expedition to the local park or one reached by travel

"The surrounding streets are best bet and will be the natural plan B for those that drive and don't want to be constrained in how long their day at the park lasts." And then they will become CPZ producing more nconvience to all but best of all MORE FINES

There does seem to be a great interest in changing and enforcing things in Dulwich Park, is there an agenda we should be made aware of. Or is it the park is slowly being being made available to only immediate Dulwich residents. Keep the rif. raf out. Appears everything Southwark is now doing comes down to producing fines. Oh to go back to my youth when the park was open and free. When you could row all round the lake. Anyone remember that era, playing pirates and falling in?

Why do we need a local vigilante group to help with speed enforcement. This is the job of trained police officers not people who have their own agenda and will do all they can to push it. Think bikes on pavements and dogs in parks. You only have to read postings on this forum to be worried.

Pot calling the kettle black. More aggressive compared to where?

What will people talk about now in toasted? Strange how people coped in the past that lived locally with traffic

Hardly anyone goes into Iceland. You must be living in a different road on another planet. I feel sure some of the wonderful less busy independents would welcome Icelands foot fall.

Thank you for reply. But the figures will be high if you take reports from 2005 to now on a major traffic road to a local road. Ll is not what you call a local road. How are the incidents reported and classified. Govt costs. Think of a number ad put it in a report. ?14000 for a minor accident. What is a minor accident. Bent bumper

A little misleading as the majority of incidents shown are mostly slight and the figures go back to 2005 .Just how are these figures logged and confirmed.

Believe from melbourne grove to the roundabout. Community council passed it at a meeting sometime ago. 16 people wrote in for it 3 against. Cllrs believed it was needed because of the amount of people shopping in this short stretch of road. They dont have to consult people

It could be a niche shopping experience with only 2 people in the shop at any time. A shopping advisor on hand to sell the very limited but exclusive stock carried. Just what ED needs.

Saw a Southwark periscope car parked on double yellow lines outside the dog in Dulwich Village this morning with its money earning thing up and computer on Southwark must be short of money

When ever bills are produced by the Council be it for major works or actual charges on Service Charges always request a full and detailed breakdown of costs. From experience charges can be duplicated or just wrong.

I would ask that you walk up the road from the "village" to Grove Park on the pavement opposite , then on the house side and look. A picture is worth a 1000 words.
