This is relentless tonight  

So noisy.

I wish the watermelons in Tooley St and City Hall would do something about the awful noise and air pollution caused by planes in this area instead of carrying on their poitnless war on road junctions.

Was there anything on twitter? I did check but couldn't see anything at all yesterday.

Lady Milhaven, you might be correct. I was just guessing the time tbh. Fire engines could have been around 3.

There is no cold stock in there at all today really so I would guess their sub transformer blew and the fridges went out.

There were some fire engines out the back earlier around by the cer wash at about 5pm. Might have been related.

Yeah, I cycle a fair bit in London. The main factor that puts me off idoing it more is other cyclists.

It's the professional commuters that are the worst. On race bikes in lycra doing their daily Tour de la Office. 

The best cyclists tend to be Boris bikers // other renters // amateurs on sit up and beg bikes. 

The worst are those who are throroughly committed to cycling. They go through red lights, push people off the road, cycle on the pavement, weave into oncoming traffic and give everyone else a bad name. I had some 5star s**t in clip on shoes actually lean on me going round a bend in the road once to speed himself up. Absolute bell end. 

Are southwark good at paying attention to the consultation responses from the emergency services when it comes to closing road for cyclists, like Calton Avenue etc?

it goes against the principle .... which was as described in the consultation

 

Who could possibly have guessed that might happen.

I only know one doctor down that wa,y Northern Monkey, and they drive a Porsche to and from the office every day. Wouldn't be seen dead on a bike.

As if the council give two hoots beyond collecting any fees they may have agreed to license out our roads or footpaths.

 i haven't seen detailed traffic flow data.

It must be out there somewhere and easy to find if they were really going to spend £1,800,000 to divert that traffic away from a few cyclists  in the middle of a cost of living crisis.

Perhaps one of the lycra warriors on here would be kind enough to link us up to that data.

It's pretty antisocial to start it so loud during working hours FFS!

Pretty high when a thread starts off talking about the cabinet member for streets?

We get to give more of our money to them. That is the benfit to us.

It was obvious two years ago when they accidentally published that document that were coming for the roads that aren't CPZ yet.

They will. Regardless of what people who pay for them actually want.

Hello James

 

I understand that the council intend to implement a CPZ in this and all the other wards in East Dulwich, in spite of the views already expressed by the people who live here.

 

On the basis of what you said below, will you resign if this happens?

Before I was elected last year and when I was a Labour candidate, I was frequently asked about controlled parking. Whether the person questioning me was for or against I always said the same thing: a CPZ should only be implemented if local residents want it"

It's not positive, it's an absolute sh!tshow as the many thousands of consultation replies amply demonstrated.

I find it utterly hypocritical in light of how his fellow councillors are prepared to galsight and ignore vast swathes of their own constituents .

It's worse than litter and vandalism. There are people openly dealing drugs on the street there now becuase no vehicles at all pass by so it is almost completely unpoliced

Duliwch central, if you got a better job that helped you afford your own 2T metal box with en suite leather sofas I think you would appreciate all of the good things in life as well as in electric cars.

Every day I trust them less and less

Fine let a ban all vehicles except for bicycles. I'm convinced.

Close all of the roads. All of them .

"The consultation clearly points to the lack of support for LTNs"

This is not quite right. The consultation has shown that a large majority of people do not support THESE LTNs.

People are behind the cause, to reduce pollution and traffic, but the believe that the measures taken so far have categorically failed to achieve that

Too absorbed with internal socialist versus hard left Marxist party politics ahead of the Labour party conference I guess.

The councillors for East Dulwich. All of them.

I'd like to see One Dulwich stand some candidates against the councillors across Dulwich for the May elections.

The East Dulwich councillors who have been silent on this issue for months each only have a wafer thin majority.

OD should go after their seats.

Well after their success shutting down the roads, they need to look for more things to shut down...

The tests are quite easily passed in our area. The schemes they have put have neither increases cycling nor reduced traffic.

They have failed dramatically.

Residents siffering the consequences of thst failure have made that very clear to the council. The council has even acknowledged the failure becuase they are pretending to make changes to the schemes.
