Is this true or is it just neighbourhood gossip?

I used to live in a converted block of flats in North London where residents were not permitted to get parking permits. I expect many new builds and conversions will be like that in the future. fwiw I think in a few years with more electric engines Lordship Lane will be much quieter and the air cleaner. Being a couple of floors up will help. " I doubt there is a shortage of expensive flats for sale in East Dulwich" Flats in East Dulwich aren't going to get cheaper if we don't allow any more of them to be built!

Don't turn another thread into another personalised fight about these bloody road closures.

Two new coffee shops and a deli all next door to each other in Dulwich Village! They'll be a few doors down from the existing deli/coffee shop, and around the corner from the existing coffee shop, and down the street from the deli/coffee shop that's next to the barber/coffee shop, opposite the restaurant that does coffee and the bakery/coffee shop... I do like coffee, and it would be great if Amy of these places opened early or did more caff style food, but I wish the Dulwich Estate was more considered about which tenants it chooses so that there is a balance. Other big landlords are... https://www.dulwichsociety.com/

"Roads were built for Traffic. Open them all up to traffic and everything will balance out." This is just silly, and classic "pub bore knows more than entire highway engineering and urban planning professions" waffle. Dulwich and Peckham have a late 19th century/early 20th century road layout. The current volume of traffic was literally never imagined when the roads were built. You could abolish every speed limit and restriction and nothing is going to "balance out" to remove congestion. Demand for road space is always going to exceed supply in London. You just can't fit a quart into a pint pot... ...especially when someone is adding more to the pint pot already. There has been huge growth in traffic in the last few years with Uber, UberEats, Amazon and their imitators. The population of London is growing long term and so is the demand for transport.

I am on another forum and there was a report of another incident on Peckham Rye at around 0130 last weekend. If anyone has experienced any incidents - please do try to report them to police independently of anything you read online. It would be awful if your memory/recollection of what happened got confused by someone else's account. Even worse would be thinking "oh, it looks like the assailant has been arrested" and in fact it's someone completely different! I am totally cognisant that reporting sexual assaults and harassment must be very difficult and can be very traumatic.

Why not? Lots of facilities for kids are still closed because of COVID and lots of parents have lost jobs and money because of COVID. Peckham Rye playpark is somewhere healthy and free that parents can take kids for a couple of hours...but there is little shade there and without the water it's oppressively hot.

It was definitely on the summer before last... If that's the reason, it's outrageous. I'll email the council and ask.

The water features at the kids playground in Peckham Rye Park aren't turned on today. It's 26 degrees! 🥵 Is this COVID, malfunction or still too early in the year? Does anyone know before I email the parks department?

That is awful and totally unacceptable that cops had to be called 4 times. I understand there's a huge number of cops in Cornwall standing around protecting Joe Biden and ensuring protestors only exercise their free speech rights many miles from anyone powerful.

You want to concentrate all the private school traffic within 100m of the two state schools on Dulwich that are already choking on illegal levels of pollution?

You're moaning about being kept to a speed limit in densely populated areas that's higher than the real average speed of traffic anyway. London has 8 million people and 2.6 million cars in it. You could remove every speed bump in the city and you're still not gonna be getting anywhere at 30mph.

This is the same technology that has already been installed for the ULEZ. It works because it's accessing information already held on the computer at Swansea: the emissions of each vehicle. The OneDulwich fantasy is of a scheme which inconveniences everyone except them, administered by a computer system that already magically knows whether a car benefits from all the specific exemptions that OneDulwich wants, and without having a Controlled Parking Zone. It is not a good faith request: they know it is not practical. Like the totally bonkers suggestion that HGVs could turn around in the area covered by flowerpots at the end of Calton Ave, the point is not to propose solutions that would actually reduce congestion or emissions. It's to gum up the process and spread confusion. Meanwhile, someone in the militant wing of the anti-LTN lobby has been ripping up plants from the plant pots and scattering them across the tarmac, and spraying yellow paint across "Road closed" signs. That includes the one at the top of Gilkes Crescent - when Gilkes Crescent has been a dead end for years and unrelated to the LTN scheme. What is wrong with these people?

And the kids there aren't breathing in the air from the roads with "illegal levels of pollution"? Is this like the gun nuts in the US that just deny school shootings happen and there aren't any victims, just crisis actors? When the people with multimillion houses on Dulwich Village want rid of LTNs so they can drive their cars whenever they want, where does that score on the class warfare scale?

Stay classy, flippit.

Short version that claimant's lawyers would argue: because the stuff had been all over the floor all night, and part of running a pub is sweeping and mopping the floor when there are obvious risks so that people don't slip and brain themselves. Same reason why Tesco cleans up the slippery wet lettuce leaves from the veggie aisle etc.

6.45pm garden music might be perfectly reasonable or it might be pisstaking if it's blaring loud, been going for hours and accompanied by pissed-up adults. This is one of those cases where you'll never understand the story when you only get one version of what happened. 🤷‍♂️

Seems odd that this is your first ever post on the forum. The claimant did not "admit to causing a ton of mess". Things can take a long time to reach court especially due to lockdown.
