I was sent this link today. Janice Turner wrote in the Times this morning. Her ?hood? is Camberwell so this is a reference to Loughborough Junction. See extract below and link at: http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/opinion/columnists/article4586026.ece I wonder if she signed the petition https://www.change.org/p/lambeth-council-reverse-the-loughborough-junction-road-closures-now?recruiter=9143844&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=autopublish&utm_term=mob-xs-share_petition-no_msg Notebook An older Times reader wrote to say that ?transport policy is now being made by and for fit-ish, middle-aged men in Lycra?. Not everyone wants, or is physically able, to ride a bike, she added, yet cyclists? needs are paramount. I was torn. My husband does a daily 18 miles on his carbon fibre machine in full rig. I wish his journey was safer and that idiot drivers, like the one who opened his car door and knocked him off last week, were prosecuted. But in London, cycling has ceased to be a mode of transport and become a religion. ?Cyclist? ? rather like ?feminist? to some ? is now a political identity whose absolute righteousness excuses every deed. To the zealots, no car journey is justifiable and drivers must be erased from streets. And so, in my ?hood, the council has shut a triangle of residential roads to cars. No warning, no diversion signs, just concrete blocks in the road: deliveries, ambulances, police, tradespeople, funnelled on to choked main roads. Businesses within the triangle are stranded; homeowners feel ?kettled?. Huge, furious public meetings have been held. And in frustration residents have moved aside some barriers ? only to have cyclists re-block the streets with paint-cans and rubbish bags. Why must every debate now be so angry and polarised? Many of us are, at various times, cyclists, pedestrians and drivers. Why can we not, with safety adaptations and mutual respect, share the streets? My correspondent may be interested in a Transport for London report that a cyclist is ?typically white, under 40, male, with medium to high household income?. Boris with his super-highways is spending ?1 billion on these guys.

NormalForNorfolk Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- ......... various above Yes, correct. East Dulwich has a variety of options, as has H Hill and I'm not on the doorstep of the Village, so I am not worried about direct impact. But I do value Dulwich Village as a unique place and one that attracts people to live and visit. And these changes can happen in the blink of an eye if locals don't have a view and rely on the Dulwich Est. The majority of kids are not spending their money at the Dog now (well for sure as its closed) - unless coming from the well funded pockets of those fortunate enough to live locally. No, they and most under age drinkers will use the cheaper supermarkets and stock up for a night out. The odd top up at the Dog is neither here nor there and the kids that indulge locally at present have not been an issue as far as I am aware. Access to cheaper alcohol will be attractive to a wider range of kids, local or otherwise. But hey, it's not the main point nor the only one about the change of licence. As you will see from the link of case studies that I posted, Sainsburys are used to interacting with the community when they set up new stores and there are a fairly consistent set of issues raised - particularly about impacts on the streetscape and community. Maybe miracles will happen and the extent of Sainsburys branding and its lorry deliveries won't matter a jot. The convenience of the shop will override any downsides. But I don't think I am prepared to leave it to chance while there is time to comment. And I don't live on the doorstep.

Sainsburys seem to be able to be flexible about making the shop facade sympathetic with a local environment. Beyond that they seem to push past other concerns by claiming the greater good for local shoppers and business. http://www.j-sainsbury.co.uk/about-us/property/convenience/case-studies/ A bottle of 'Taste the Difference' will be in ready and cheap supply for all who use this route. Will the age limit be 18 or 25? What good news for the local schools and locals....

I think you should post this to the Townley thread also. The road development at Townley has had some new traffic light funationality which links it to this junction. I am not sure it is fully operational but it is intended to be. That may be the cause. The other development is the closure of Loughborough Junction which is throwing traffic and causing congestion in many adjacent areas areas.

Take a look at the attached. Won't this fit in beautifully. After all: What distinguishes Dulwich from its environs is the preservation of the character of the area - the appearance of individual properties is in harmony with that of neighbouring buildings, maintaining the integrity of streetscapes Not my words - extract from the Dulwich Estate?s entry on the Charity Commission website............

http://www.brixtonbuzz.com/2015/10/another-u-turn-from-lambeth-council-as-review-for-experimental-road-closures-at-loughborough-junction-brought-forward/ Another U-turn from Lambeth Council as review for ?experimental? road closures at Loughborough Junction brought forward BY JASON COBB ? OCTOBER 7, 2015

Lambeth Road SCheme Risking Lives - see attached Evening Standard p24 Monday 5th Oct Calls for a dangerous new road scheme to be scrapped were mounting today as the London Ambulance Service claimed the congestion it causes was putting patients at risk..... In a written statement to the meeting MP Kate Hoey has written to Lambeth demanding closure of the sceme by 5pm today. etc

The existing tenant needs Dulwich Estate permission to assign the lease (not to be unreasonable withheld) but they seem to support it - no doubt it's a sure way to secure the rent. I have been told that DE has already insisted on some changes to Sainsbury's original layout/design. There is currently no planning application for a new shop front with Southwark but this will come in due course. For deliveries, because it is the same sort of shop, the Council will have to accept the existing situation - unloading in the street, and parking likewise - it's as now. The only planning application will be for the shop front - and loading/parking is not part of that. If there is an application for a different 'use class', there will be a chance to comment.

Posting this in case the two consultation dates are of interest - the first is tomorrow. Charter School East REMINDER - PLANNING CONSULATION EVENT THIS WEEK 6th October, United Reform Church East Dulwich Grove, 6pm-9pm Dear Stakeholder The DfE approved The Charter School Educational Trust?s proposal to open a new secondary school, The Charter School East Dulwich, in September 2016. We have been working closely with Southwark Council, the Education Funding Agency and architects on initial plans for the school which is proposed to be sited on the current Dulwich Community Hospital site. We intend to submit a planning application in November 2015 for the first phase of the development, but we are keen to hear local residents' and others? views on the options that have been developed in advance of the application being submitted. We have arranged for two consultation events to take place on 6th and 17th October at the United Reform Church on East Dulwich Grove, SE22 7RH. The attached leaflet (http://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/attachments/download.asp?file=15&type=pdf), also available on our website, provides further background information and details regarding the events. You can also provide comments through our website at www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk. We recognise that there are a number of local groups, organisations and individuals in the area that take a keen interest in local developments and we are particularly keen to hear your views. We would be delighted if you, or a representative, could attend one of the events, but should that not be possible and you would like further information on the proposed scheme, please reply to this email or alternatively contact us on [email protected] in order that we can make alternative arrangements. Yours faithfully, Elizabeth Brown Chair, The Charter School Educational Trust www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk @chartereast

Your last chance to comment on the Sustrans led consultation for interventions on the Quietway is this coming Saturday. Sat 26 Sep 2015 11.00-13.00 St Barnabas Parish Hall, entrance Gilkes Place SE21 You will get chance to review options along the route itself and recommend interventions such as double yellow lines, zebra crossings etc that might be viable. The major area of focus for TfL and Southwark, is the Dulwich Village junction. See here for 4 pre-designed options that were provided at the meeting for discussion. These are clearly positioned as not being fixed ideas but they may indicate the direction of thought on the scale of the challenge: http://turneyandburbage.org.uk/2015/09/24/dulwich-village-junction-possible-redesigns-photos-of-drawings-for-discussion/ You will see some radical change suggested, for example for Court Lane to become one way. It is worth making time to go to the meeting on Saturday to input your local knowledge and views at this early stage. These proposals could have a major impact on Dulwich and need local knowledge to determine what is workable.

PM me whether Village or East Dulwich and I will share what I have experienced Jules-and-Boo Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > @ @Woodwarde - please do!

I could name a few.

Putting tonight's meeting on your radar because it and the equivalent meeting on Saturday will be the forums that Sustrans will use as evidence of public input for their preferred options and recommendations. Especially if things like One Way on Court Lane are to be suggested...... Tonight: First workshops: initial discussions of possible interventions Wed 23 Sep 2015 18.30-20.30 Southwark Community Sports Trust Pavillion Turney Rd

BNG Any photos of these with time and date would be helpful as we may need to collate them to explain the problems to Southwark and TfL.

Further to my post above, First workshops: initial discussions of possible interventions Wed 23 Sep 2015 18.30-20.30 Southwark Community Sports Trust Pavillion Turney Rd First workshops: Initial discussions of possible interventions Sat 26 Sep 2015 11.00-13.00 St Barnabas Parish Hall, entrance Gilkes Place SE21 The walkabouts have been taking place next week, so well worth showing up at one of the above workshops where Sustrans should be discussing what they believe are possible interventions. IF you are not in the discussion then you don't seem to have a voice.

Agree and I would also mention 4pm when I understand that 7 coaches in a row make the turn left from Townley onto ED Grove.

Some photos to show the difficulty of coach turning/car movement conflict and the tailback. It would be helpful for any photos showing conflict to be PMd to me, as I will keep a record. Also to email them to the councillors perhaps.

Talking of attachments, why the same file limit. It is a barrier to photos etc.

Slarti b. I have noticed similar and have photos that I will try to post up that show the exact conflicts that you describe. If there are photos or other observations posted here, then I am minded to collate them for our Councillors to pursue with Southwark. The file size limit on attachments may make this a challenge. Any advice on getting around that?

thank you!
