The silence is deafening......

What times are we not allowed on these roads please?

Well said exdulwicher. Khan does not want the extension to north and south circulars and he was not responsible for the tfl deficit. He was reducing it and then no one was travelling due to Covid. I understand Johnson has now actually retracted this lie but of course no everyone knows this.

The problem is compounded by the current situation- we are reluctant to use public transport at present due to health risks - but also as most buses are not moving due to gridlock caused by planters.

Also can hey have removed several customer parking spaces in Melbourne Grove

Good article in Southwark news about the impact on businesses - it?s a real concern that independent businesses may go to the walL due to the council?s inability to engage or anticipate the results of their actions. They seem to be Utterly myopic where everyone eLse can spot the bloody obvious.

And destroy a load of small businesses

I?m surprised the residents in dulwich village are not contacting the council - if I had that traffic jam and associated increased levels of pollution- I?d be a bit cheesed off Also to add that apparently the businesses have had a distinct downturn in business

😂

It took me 25 minutes to get from the primary school to the whately road traffic lights today. I could actually smell the fumes - pity the cyclists having to weave around the jams plus the walkers on the pavements. I really cannot fathom where they think the cars are going to go. Public transport is not popular due to covid, but also these traffic jams make it ineffective. Alot of the vehicles are work type vans (yes lots of cars too) would love to know what the pollution readings are at the moment - I suspect these will be well and truly buried.

seems a bit strange - who are the landladies going to get in there instead who are able to pay rent given current climate

that's a real shame.

On EE in east dulwich and no problems at all?

Apologies - when I posted earlier all the threads seemed locked - I can see that there are still 2 that are not.

I know they were all rather similar but why have they all been locked? Clearly a cause for concern for lots of forumites- apologies if admin had posted something somewhere

The congestion is basically caused but a lot of traffic having to do two sides of a triangle rather than straight up the obvious route. Also the lights have not been adjusted - for example at the dulwich village / east dulwich grove junction only 2-3 cars can turn right - and a lot of the jam in the village is cars wanting to turn right. If a filter were introduced that could smooth things?

Glad to see there has been a rejig of the barricades to allow larger vehicle access

I was assured by a councillor that the emergency services were the first people to be consulted. perhaps some wires have got crossed ? (I am being very diplomatic here)

Brilliant news

This was exactly my thoughts serena! I have been informed by a councillor that the emergency services were the first to be consulted and they had no issues with the proposals - perhaps they thought they would still have access? Who knows but this has been me ?beef? since sitting in a stationary south circular when 3 emergency vehicles were trying to get thru. Everyone pulled up on the pavements

Rockets - spot on

It?s not that cut and dried I think.

Oh god.....
