@LTNBoohoo where does it say on 1D website or duwlcih calliance website that volmums of traffic hasnt increased pver [ast decade? cant find it. thank you. and how do you know that their app developers.or compromised media.

agree with replacing planters at dulwich vllg junction with cameras @exdulwicher, so does london ambulance. trouble is that southwark isnt that keen on any changes to its experimental orders

wish our mp was like rupa huq labour mp for ealing speech 27 April - she says we shoujld re-examine low traffic neighbourhoods, recognising that all streets matter. https://www.theyworkforyou.com/whall/?id=2021-04-27a.105.0

problem is that the council says it wants to know what people in the area think but doesnt deliver leaflets to them. so no one hears about the review or knows its happening. meanwhile local councillor retweets call to people passing through who might not know about eg traffic now clogging up neighboring roads to take part. this isnt the transparnet consultation promised

@Northernmonkey think trevor is trying to get @DulwichCentral to answer. which he hasnt so far.

@DulwichCentral shwere are those drawings from? also about the packed meetings - the more infomration that comes out, the more you realize that all the stuff we were told was rubbish. like the 47% more traffic through the junction - thats just not true

i think councillor leming was talking about teh grant for the old stone beds either side of the road in court lane (outside the houses either side) they didnt give teh total asked for. and he said something like "at some point in the next few years the greening of court lane wil cost a lot more than that" which sounded like theyd already decided the closed junction was permanent

Rockets, whenyou said about the DV junction planters"I am very surprised that they are still immovable - perhaps they have assessed that it is not a route used by emergency services." you were joking, right? southwark didnt assess anything. but the ambulance service has been asking them for months to chnage the planters to camera so ambulances can come through

good points heartblock and legalalien personally worried that teh council will suggest modelling. i think modelling can prove what ever you want it to prove. agree with what dulwich central said that data is difficult in a pandemic but its what we need to see if this ltn works. so then also agree that we need to stop teh experiment if we can see huge traffic jams on roads on the edge of the ltn. children living on those roads shouldnt have to live with massive increase in pollution even for six month/year

you may be right exdulwicher, but friends in lambeth say baseline is baffling and eqaulities impact Assessment very vague. so it sounds all open and clear but doesnt build trust. Agree with penguin and legalalien that trust is important. but also agree with legalalien tjat getting angry with councils doesnt help us come together on this forum. just hope - really hope that southwark will get the reveiw process right this time.

sorry you feel that way Se22 and @Otto2. i dont think Rockets is doing anything diffrent from anyone on this thread - listens, and replies, puts forward other suggestions. basically southwark has set us up to argue. thats why i think the next stage has got to be proper consultation. southwark said they would announce teh rreview in february. anyone know whats happening?

@RM_Leeming (Richard Leming, one of the duwlich village ward councillors) having tough time on Twitter right now trying to defend dulwich ltn...

i wonder where this review is. promised in february. march nearly here... anyone got any news?

so @legalalien do you know if people can ask to see details of who is behind this project? the councillors must know so isnt this public information?also if something depends on whether or not they get a license, what happens to the money if the license is refused?

I meant What you said about timid attempts at reducing traffic on a hndful of minor roads. Thats all. I dont thnk they're timid -i think they have a major effect on traffic over a big area. so i dont think reaction is OTT. And pro LTN people say, but you have to close roads to increase cycling. And there was a report that said just that - how cycling had almost doubled because of blocking a road, and the dulwich alliance looked at this and there is no evidence that backs this up. not saying this is all your fault rahrahrah and sorry if it soundedlike that. Thought youd be interested.

@ rahrahrah just saying that dr goodmans study makes great big claims about one of your timid attempts at reducing traffic, but duwlich alliance doesnt agree https://dulwichalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Wheres-the-evidence.pdf

And one of those minor roads @rahrahrah was studied by dr goodman, and here is what the dulwich alliance have to say about it https://dulwichalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Wheres-the-evidence.pdf

you know what would be great @dulwichcentral Maybe Southwark could publish its data for all to see. then anyone could analyze it. eg. how many emails objecting to the Duwlich road closures have they recieved? it would be good to know.
