No wonder Tessa Jowel never answered my email About the adventure bar.it is a noxious piece of legislation And goes against residents rights to object. Ashbourne Grove objected the last time against the licence And now it would seem that it's all been done behind our backs.

Thank James for your reply. It seems a bit premature that all the gubbins for putting down this crossing are already on the road ready to go, when the signs on the lamp post say you have until the 9th Feb. to put in your objections. It seems to me that residents are the last to know about anything that is going on to do with their area. As for the adventure bar opening times, it seems once again we are the last to know when there hours were changed to 2am, as no one in Ashbourne Grove knew that they had successfully applied for longer hours and they now have a 2am

.According to the notices on the lamp post it ends the 9th February. Yet they have everything in place on the road to go on the 14th February. Ashbourne grove residents opposed it the last time it came up, not because of safety reasons, but because of the lack of parking spaces and the overspill once again to the side roads. I don?t think Southwark Council know the meaning of democracy. Consultation, It would be nice if Southwark Council knew what it means, and started to consult with the Local residents,giving it enough time to do so would be nice.

Once again, Democracy in action in Southwark. Proposed Pelican crossing outside the Co-Op in Lordship Lane. Two years ago most of the traders and residents around the Co-Op opposed the Pelican crossing, on the grounds that more parking spaces would go, and there would be little room for lorries to load and unload to supply the shops, and that the parking in Lordship Lane would once again be pushed on to the side turnings, like Ashbourne grove. It would appear that, in spite of putting notices up for consultation on lamp posts, everything is in place to go ahead with the crossing, even the marking of the roads and traffic lights are there ready to go. So it does not matter what the consultation reveals, they will go ahead anyway. This is the democracy of Southwark Council. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO LISTEN TO RESIDENTS AND TRADERS?

There is a problem in the whole East Dulwich with parking. And it is not going to get any better in the future.and CPZ is not the answer.perhaps Southwark council might go back to the drawing board with local residents and traders And try to resolve the problem, but it will not be resolved by pooring more people into East dulwich.I for one would never vote lib dem again.the govs policy to keep building Flats and house without any consideration for car parking,with policies like this you can Expect more parking problems. Well down the EDF.

Gsirett wrote: "Personally, I'm feeling quite bullied by Southwark Council over controlled parking." Nail. On. Head. Is this not the case, with all Councils and Government? They say one thing to get the power, and then do the opposite.

One answer to the parking problem, especially around the station, would be for Southwark Council to acquire part of the pulled down Dulwich Hospital, it looks like it is going to be vacant for a long time, I think it?s been a couple of years now, and use that as a car park for Dulwich. What with all the markets that the Council wants round here, and the closing off of roads to accommodate these people from out of the area. And the Council allowing car parks to be built on. I think it would be a good investment for the council, as they could charge a small fee. But probably knowing Southwark Council, it would go up to a large fee.

First mate. I will be there with you and I hope all the sensible minded people in ED, will be there as well. It?s about time the Councils start to practice what they preach, involvement in your community, for a better future, but what they mean is: we will do what we think is right, and what earns the most money. Keep piling people in to East Dulwich and elsewhere, without any consideration for car parking, more offences committed, more money for the Councils to squander on hare- brained schemes that are of little use to the community. Cars are here for life, make no mistake, and we will have to deal with it, but not by letting excess people into an already overpopulated area. The Councils are a law unto themselves and imposing schemes on an unwilling community.

Actually Fred, if you look around you, you'll see that East Dulwich residents are doing an awful lot of breeding, and have been doing so for some time, which may explain a lot of the increase. Add to that the excellent medical facilities in the area and a reluctance of the older generation to retire to the seaside (as they might once have done) and it's going to get ever so crowded round here even if not one 'immigrant' moves here. Thats the problem overcrowing by who ever.

Why should the Car club drivers always have a place to park? they paying the council for the car club parking spaces ! Ah yes, Money making venture again. And as for more houses and people in Dulwich, Most of the people I know in East Dulwich, and I have been here since 1963, do not want Dulwich turned into a Town or a metropolis , and that is what the Council is trying and succeeding in doing. This is from a Politian mouth: ?The predictions for east Dulwich are an extra 6,000 people on top of the current 33,000. God knows where they'll all go. Also all the political parties are avoiding the population problem of a predicted extra 1 million people living in London within the next 10 years needing an extra 500,000 homes. This prediction is mostly from immigration of other Europeans.

One way to start to resolve the problem with parking in East Dulwich. Would be to change the stupid UDP planning laws, that allows the Council and developers to convert and build houses, without any consideration to car parking, this has been the main reason for our problems with parking. AND STOP TURNING EAST DULWICH INTO A TOWN. When it?s always been a Village. None of our problems are going to get sorted out on this site, but I must say it?s a good place to start. The council need to consult with the people in these roads, not over a five minute period, but as long as it takes, it seems that Mr B Hargrove is in such a hurry to get this through, why? It?s taken at least ten years to get to this state, so a few months more won?t make any difference

I think that most of the support will be at the meeting of the 24th January 2011. I know I will be there.

Just out of interest, Southwark Council, has Dulwich down as a Town and not a village. This is on there site:Draft Dulwich SPG and draft Lordship Lane town centre SPG.

Here is my reply from Tessa Jowell our Local MP. Waste of space but here goes Dear Tessa, Re: CPZ in Grove Vale. Thank you for your email and attached letter from your constituent Mr Fred Ricketts who has raised his and others concerns in relation to the introduction of the Controlled Parking Zone surrounding East Dulwich Station. The Council carried out consultation with the residents and businesses on a proposed controlled parking Zone (CPZ) in Grove Vale (East Dulwich station) area. The consultation closed on 11 November 201. It?s important to note that this is just a consultation and no decision has been taken to implement a CPZ. I have provided below, some background to the consultation and details on the next step. Background. The majority of streets around East Dulwich station do not have parking controls. The absence of controls on the public highway means that anyone can park: for some people this is a positive whereas others find it an inconvenience. We are aware that parking pressure is very high in the streets around the station and some of the demand can be attributed to commuters using East Dulwich station. In 2010, the council made a funding bid to Transport for London (TFL) so that a study about parking could be carried out in the Grove vale area. This bid was part of the councils overall, annual bid to TFL for transport projects. More details about the TFL bid can be found on the following webpage. http://moderngov.southwarksites.com/ieDecisionDetails.aspx?ID=1495 The Councils constitution sets out that, before consulting on the CPZ, we will discuss the consultation boundaries (and method) with the local community council. For this project we reported to Dulwich Community Council on the 15/09/11 and the Camberwell \Community Councils on the 22/09/11. It is normal CPZ practice to consult only with those within the Consultation area. Consultation documents were distributed to the study area (1159 properties) on 14th October 2011, with the dead line to return questionnaires detailed as 11 November 2011. 27 Street notices were erected wi8thin the consultation area to inform the local community that a parking consultation was taking place. We also wrote to the Councils key stakeholders as part of the Consultation. Furthermore the projects webpage was updated with the details of the consultation and details on the council?s main consultation page. It was not possible to extend the consultation period, as the programme did not allow for this and reduces the time necessary to carry out the detailed analysis, proposed recommendations and prepare the consultation report in time for the Community Council meetings. Although the meetings are not until January, the report must be submitted before the Christmas period. Decision Process. A full report will be prepared that presents the consultation results on a street by street and wide area basis. The consultation has generated a high volume of correspondence from both the residents and business inside and outside the consultation boundary. We have also received petitions for and against controls from the area. All communications received will be summarized and included in our consultation report. I expect the draft report to be presented to the Dulwich and Camberwell Community Councils in January 2012 before a key decision is taken by the Cabinet member for Transport, Enviroment and Recycling in early 2012. Yours Sincerely. Councillor Barrie hargrave.

Here lies the root of the problem, and this is from the Politicians. This is the new planning laws at work.The predictions for east Dulwich are an extra 6,000 people on top of the current 33,000. God knows where they'll all go. Also all the political parties are avoiding the population problem of a predicted extra 1 million people living in London within the next 10 years needing an extra 500,000 homes. This prediction is mostly from immigration of other Europeans

I sent this letter to Tessa Jowell our local MP. Dear Tessa Jowell You may be aware, that it is Southwark Council intensions to introduce CPZ in the roads around East Dulwich Station. This appears to be done with a minimum of Consultation, (and as I understand it, 50 residents in the area.) Our concern and some 1549 local residents and traders, who petitioned against this, that it will force vehicles into the surrounding areas, and our streets, are over crowed now. The Council has been asked to extended the time period and consultation, but have refused, and it is quite obvious, they have their own agenda. As most residents only found out about it in the last week. Most roads and streets in East Dulwich are suffering from parking problems, because there are too many cars chasing too few parking spaces, why because of the stupid law that you can build flats and conversions without considering parking spaces. Would you kindly look into this matter for the residents of Ashbourne Grove, and the other 1500 petitioners? Have had no reply as yet. Perhaps those of you that are against the CPZ for whatever reasons should email Tessa Jowell at [email protected]. And ask her to look into the way in which this whole business of CPZ has been handled and is still being handled. Ashbourne Grove put in a partition to the Council in 2004-5, totally ignored; the Grove still has the same problems, mainly because of BAD PLANNING LAWS.

The car club is another way of giving our parking Spaces away to private contractors to earn money out Of taking away premium parking spaces,and the car club probably Gives gifts to the council for our public parking spaces.
