I attended the Dulwich Village/Court Lane/Calton Avenue meeting at St Barnabas today. It felt more like a sixth form project than a professional consultation. A complete Horlicks! Five years or so ago, the Southwark traffic officers presented three or four options for the Calton Avenue junction and there was a consultation process. It appeared that the options presented today were no more than straw men, i.e. they were some way away from being viable options and we were invited to put sticky blue circles on the option we preferred. (Although a local resident, I had neither received nor heard anything previously about the proposals.) I only hope that no council tax was expended on paying for what seemed to me to be a complete shambles, guaranteed to make a messy junction into an even messier one. Bring back the traffic officers, please! This needs a serious consultation and considered planning proposals not coursework for an urban planning GCSE.
