One last year thread /forum/read.php?5,1992773 response from M&S was vague ,no promises , maybe there were other threads ?

I did wonder if TW might pay more attention to S'wark .Thanks for explaining !

Is reporting a manhole cover ,owned bt TW ,to a department in S'wark so that they can pass it on to another department who will then in turn pass it on to TW preferable to using the "Report a damaged or noisy manhole cover " facility on TW's site ? It seems odd .

I think a very large Thank You is due to James McCash for his work here and updating us . A teacher and a councillor .

Have been asked if I know of any men under 65 with Alzheimers who wouldn't mind taking part in a interview for research .They would be paid ?50 and their carer would also be paid a fee ( lesser amount ) It would be in their own home . Any interested parties please reply asap .

of course if it'a drain and not a manhole cover ,it may be a different procedure .

I report them to Thames Water https://www2.thameswater.co.uk/leak/ Enter your postcode and you will be taken to a page where you can report noisy manhole covers . In a road like Barry Road Thames Water will say they have to liaise with Southwark about directing traffic . Then after many many months cones will appear and signs indicating that Thames Water will be working . Nothing will happen and the cones will be removed . After many many months a few shovel fulls of tarmac will be thrown over the manhole cover from a passing truck . Sometimes the tarmac will set and remain on the cover deadening the noise . More often , as passing traffic drives over the soft tarmac it will be broken up and spread across the road .At which point you start over with Thames Water .

Does anyone have a view as to which perform best in this hard water area? My newish ( one 2years old ) taps with ceramic discs are dripping like crazy .My old ones with washers are not . Of course I don't recall make/model of new taps and anxious about getting and fitting new cartridge .

Please don't ban Christmas .I like fairy lights and environmentally friendly glitter .I like decorating things . I like public holidays and eating special food .

oh no ,that was what I was hoping wasn't the case ! Thank you so much Penguin for explaining .

Thank you for posting that Ilona . I've signed . Richard Ratcliffe's letter to Boris Johnson has shocking detail of how this case has been handled and of Johnson's refusal to engage . How can Johnson sleep at night ,let alone gurn and buffoon his days away .

Penguin could you say a bit more about Honor Oak Park ,which roads ? Is a road closed ?Is it Forest Hill Road up to the station ? What are they doing ?

Having read the Dulwich Foundation Schools'Coach Service study v v few of the "lots of options " seem to be acceptable . Yes the routes have been changed so that Calton Ave is no longer driven down but others( parking/more parking on school site/ using third party venues for parking,alterations to Townley Road ) either seem to be dismissed or deemed unfeasible /too expensive/dependent on Southwark's approval resources or are v vague "managing travel demand "

The photograph looks odd to me as well . Roberts's left hand isn't touching her body and P.A.and Roberts seem to be looking in different directions . But neither P.A.or experts are going for the manipulated line ,so either there's a reason for this or I'm imagining things .

bels that's a very interesting report ,thank you for posting . It is indeed comprehensive and I'm still digesting the contents . Have hopefully attached some of the key points. https://imgur.com/a/YUe9pAn https://imgur.com/a/MGn1hyk https://imgur.com/a/Ogcbiuz

The coaches are so large ,the ones I saw leaving Townley Road had no more than 5 passengers . So one has to believe that the other schools have much higher numbers of users . I wonder why the disparity .

I do understand the one coach v. lots of cars ,though when I've seen coaches driving off they have v. few passengers .Possibly picking up at Townley and then off to other schools ? The need to soak my head is prompted more by the plethora of groups all considering similar issues but this glaring aberration persisting plus the narrow vision of some eg focussing on Calton Road . Plus the clear breeches of law by some drivers of coaches and the apparent lack of will by the authorities to address this .

And this http://dulwichsaferoutes.blogspot.com/p/school-initiatives.html indicates that all Alleyns sites have been awarded a TfL Gold Star award .Which involves "Gold Be among the top 10% of London schools, setting high standards to inspire others to transform travel habits, fully engage the wider community to promote best practices, and see a measurable reduction in the number of journeys made by car every day. What you need to do Within three academic years complete 25 different travel activities, 15 supporting activities and 8 consultation activities Provide evidence for each activity completed Demonstrate at least a 6% modal shift away from the car or at least 90% of pupils travelling actively" so the coach situation is obviously not only fine but recognised as a good thing . So I'm off to put my head in a bucket of water .

I've been searching ( without success) on Dulwich Society because I'm sure I saw some info on what's happening re the LordshipLane/South Circular crossing issue . I don't really do Twitter and all that stuff so I was surprised to see all the organisations all interested in pollution/congestion etc . https://twitter.com/CleanAirDulwich/status/1197810078201647104 I see the clean air group have asked the police to intervene re Townley Rd - or more specifically and narrowly the Calton Ave junction with . So I can see that this thread is redundant .

I quite agree re those two mikeb .

I did go to 2 workshops - one at the library and one at Christchurch at top of Barry Rd ,I didn't attend the Dulwich Village ones because I wasn't aware of them .And I only knew about the one at top of Barry Rd because I got an email from a councillor who I'd spoken to personally . It seems such an odd consultation ,and really it shouldn't be difficult to unpick because you haven't been to a workshop .

I've taken the opportunity to express views on what measures I think might help the issuesin Townley Road . Are you saying that the consultation is only about junctions ? That would be odd .
