I have often felt that many vehicles travel too fast down barry road, however I feel the 20mph limit is not appropriate and Speed humps would be a disaster for buses etc. Re instate the 30mps and why not just have a few speed cameras? one at each end and one or in the middle.

And Charter are not the only school that do this?

no one at either of those organisations give a toss, so that's why they can vent here. At least there is a liklyhood that someone will acknowledge the complaint!

I was going to sign the petition, but as I am not a resident of Melbourne Grove or the roads leading off it, I wasn't sure if I was eligible or not? I live in East Dulwich tho? what do you think?

If it was a wedding that ended at 12.30 = well, let it go. Does not sound like a regular occurrence so surely not really worth making a song and dance about.

yes you are being ripped off.

and have a space in their car?

I thought that junction had been worse lately! so it's not my imagination after all

Whilst popping into one of the shops in DV (Jigsaw sale, couldn't afford anything) I was approached by a lady with a clipboard, asking me to participate in a survey for the council about my usage of the shops in DV, how often I visited and how Much I spent, where I lived and how I got there. All fine, except she was asking me how important I thought the parking in front of the shops was (the stretch from the audi garage to harold georde). I mentioned how often I visited, but when I said that I thought the parking was VERY important and I didn;t want any change she did not write that down. For good measure I also said I didn't want any more yellow lines or road closures, so maybe she clocked me as a nutter and left it at that. The logo on her sheet was tps/tsp.

perhaps the discussion about this (which is on the tail end of the townley road thread) should be carried on here? I suspect a lot of people are unaware of this suggestion and this will have a considerable impact on a lot of local residents and road users. edited to mention new petition organised for this

I have two teenagers at a local state school, and I am so glad they are growing up here. I grew up in a small market town, and was bored rigid. Ditto the drinking, drugs and young boys dying on their motorcycles on country roads. My kids can hop on a bus anywhere, but can enjoy the 'local feel' that we have round here. I remember there seemed to be a mass exodus to Lewes a few years ago and we had a bit of a 'should we be doing that?' moment, but to be honest, we didn't really want to leave our neighbourhood. Our children have the advantage of mixing with all kinds of children from lots of different cultures and backgrounds - which can only be a positive thing. They soon get to understand the types to avoid, and better still, how to deal with them!

oh what a shame. perhaps James can get to the bottom of why it has gone.

sounds a brilliant idea.

what about this? they actually use your exiting worktop and slot a new thin one on top? I have no knowledge of this, but just remember seeing it somewhere http://www.graniteoverlay.co.uk

hear hear James

Off kilter, but don't understand Wandsworth's new policy

Yes always good to retain valuable land. I am not sure of your example though - The housing development (under which the school has a large dinner hall/performance area, art rooms and smaller specialist class rooms as well as special needs equipped washrooms, used to house the old school dinner prep areas and a derelict house. The area built on was never part of the playground. They managed to retain most of the playground, gain nice new facilities, as well as provide in the air space social housing.

signed. The estate is going to be depriving a fellow albeit less privileged educational organisations of valuable space in the name of profit. not very 'charitable' of them.

There was a camera car sitting on lordship lane at ten past nine this morning with his engine running monitoring the bus lane. I asked him why the engine was running and he said the equipment might stop, but he was running a low emission car so it didn't matter. I don't mind emergency vehicles so much, but not non essentials. If that stretch of bus lane is felt to be badly abused, then shove a camera on a pole.

hmm my dog insists on going round anticlockwise?..he is born and bred SE22 so he must be correct

and one by the skate park on peckham rye

Oh what a shame - loved that place (and we were regulars) - loved the food and the service. I wish them all the very best.

oo goody
