"No Through Road" has a specific meaning in the Highway Code. "No Through Route" doesn't. I was pointing this out (unintentionally curtly - I went back to edit but the forum has been offline) because understanding what "No Through Road" means won't actually help, because it's not what the signs say.

I thought they say "no through route" and "restricted access ahead"...but obviously I haven't done an audit! College Road isn't "No Through Road" - there are no new restrictions there. Dulwich Village isn't No Through Road either.

Where is there a No Through Road sign, specifically?

"whilst acknowledging the urgent need to do something, oppose these measures. It seems an anti-car lobby has been allowed to manipulate and dictate the terms of the measures being put in..." The urgent need to do something, but not anything that causes anyone to use their cars less, apparently.

When, though?

Was in there the other day - I've ordered a khachipuri for Christmas Eve. The people seem really nice. I'll report back when ive actually eaten the stuff.

Agreed. Naughty owners.

"I shouldn't worry about noise from Palmerston clients, as it attracts sensible clientele." 🤮 Speaking as someone who used to live opposite a bar - all bar patrons (present company included) are a complete pain in the arse at kicking out time. Social class doesn't come into it. When I was in my 20s I lived on a street that was busier than Lordship Lane. Now I'm old and grumpy, I wouldn't do it again.

No no no, you're wrong. Driving around Dulwich before this year was effortless, safe and speedy before econazi cyclists ruined it and literally throttled kittens. "my view the signage was not clear at all. If no cars why not a sign with a red circle? " A blue sign means "only these things may go down here". A red sign means "these things may not go down here". Drivers are supposed to know the difference - however, I admit that the signage wasn't immediately intuitive to me and I was glad the council put in more red advisory signs.

"They are potentially lethal though, much like living is." Living is invariably lethal (with one possible exception). "Before we queue up to demonise all e-scooters, perhaps we should have a go on one." I regularly ride scooters - electric and manual. It's the small front wheel, poor brakes and hard tyres that makes them a much riskier proposition than bikes.

And to be fair, day to day management of the council is supposed to be the job of council managers. Councillors are supposed to set policy and it's not (supposed to be) a full time job by any means.

The place at the Plough is doing them again this year. We got ours there last year and were happy with it, this year's is looking good so far too. Edit: never mind, looks like they've already mentioned it above! Didn't read the thread properly.

"The Test to Release scheme is for people coming from countries not in the safe corridor area therefore likely arriving from high covid areas" True BUT the infection rate is generally lower in the "high risk" countries than it is in the UK.

You could sue them. They could also get a ticket from the police but that doesn't help you. It doesn't help that most early adopters of these things have been kids and dimwits, both groups know for acting inconsiderately.

Isn't a critical difference between the two scenarios is that people who are self-isolating "domestically" are doing so because they've had contact with a COVID positive person while people who were self-isolating due to travel have not had contact with such people (and are usually coming from places with lower rates of infection than England)?

I would like to clarify my earlier statement. Although I am in favour of being ruled by lizards, I am also highly xenophobic and therefore HATE alien lizards coming down here, taking our British lizards' overlord jobs.

"The (completely mad) suggestion that it is in any way related to Covid-19 is promulgated by the same people who believe we are ruled by lizards" If 5G spread lizards, I would be strongly in favour.

An additional health issue...?

I do sympathise. My next door neighbours are gut renovating their house and three of us have been working from home throughout. However... - we did the same thing to our neighbours 5 years ago - there have always been people working or living from home during the day who had to live with noise from builders. There are probably more of than now - but we can't tell the building trade to stop indefinitely - building work is sometimes noisy. - if we want to live in houses, everyone's house is every so often going to have to get done up. At some point your place was built or redecorated and your neighbours had to put up with it.

I left a message for the parky (who has a > much more elevated title)! I don't think the playparks are closed. The stickers on the gate (if that's what you mean) have been up (and not taken down) since the first lockdown. Did the parkie reply saying the playpark WAS supposed to be closed?

Not everyone acknowledges that things have to change, and many people who acknowledge things have to change want those changes to happen by way of other people driving laws and no inconvenience to them. Ain't gonna happen, chief.

There will be a London and Southwark trial soon https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/rental-e-scooters-set-to-come-to-southwark-streets-in-tfl-safety-trial/

What a drag!
