I think the Nursery is still planned. Looks like part of the planning application is still to be approved https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=R429UUKBKMU00

Looks like ours is being collected this morning.

Our bins haven't been emptied today - Glengarry/Tarbut/Trossachs/Thorncombe area - anyone else ? (Reported to Southwark)

If you're on Twitter you could try asking "Dulwich Local History" @DulwichHistory - they might know

Agreed on car use. What we really need here is the equivalent to the e-scooters/bikes for cars. Reduce the spaces available for privately owned cars and partner with a electric car provider. I'd give up my petrol car if I knew that the chances of me being able to pick up an electric car when I needed one was largely guaranteed.

Getting to the Traffic Counts data Here are some instructions on how to use the Southwark Maps Portal to get a list of the published Traffic Counts. Go to Southwark Maps Portal here: https://geo.southwark.gov.uk/connect/analyst/mobile/#/main?mapcfg=Southwark%20Highways&lang=en-gb It'll flash up Pitney Bowes (who I guess are hosting this map software) then bring up a map centred on the Old Kent Road. You'll need to drag the map to the location you want or use the search in the top left. The link above should load the Southwark Highways map configuration - if not you'll need to make sure that's selected top right. Then click on the folder icon next to "Traffic Counts" and select the Checkbox next to "Traffic counts (2016-now)" This should highlight on the map the places where a traffic count is/has been located. If you click on an individual blue spot it opens a panel on the left with details of each count and a link to each counts spreadsheet. To get them all this way is laborious so if you instead click the three dots next to the "Traffic counts (2016-now)" checkbox it opens a little menu starting with "Multi Select". Click on the "See tabular results" and it opens a pane on the left with a list of all the traffic counts Southwark has (2000+). (You can limit it to those shown on your map using the Query option but this is more advanced). Then, if you select the three dots next to "Traffic counts (2016-now) in [All data]" at the top of the list you get an option to "Export all pages as CSV". This will download a CSV file which contains the same data in the list including a link to each spreadsheet containing the count data. Some of these are publicly available - those starting with https://geo.southwark.gov.uk - and some are not. East Dulwich Grove is attached. Now you just need to download the spreadsheets and wrangle to the data.

The train service is appalling at the moment. 45 minutes between trains in the evening.

The British Heart Foundation take various furniture items and will collect. You could try them. https://www.bhf.org.uk/shop/donating-goods/book-furniture-collection-near-me

I found this thread where a number of posters said their bills had gone down since having a meter. Just sayin' /forum/read.php?20,2030886,2040647#msg-2040647

Decided to pay Find My Past the ?2.50 to see who lived at my house in 1921. Family of four, both parents roughly the same age as my wife and I. Adult son living with them also roughly the same age as my son who lives with us. Wife's mother also lived with them, that doesn't have the same current parallel. Father worked in the City as a Bank Messenger for a bank in Moorgate that I've passed a hundred times and is only a few hundred yards from where I work now. Plus ca change.

I thought you were moving to the Isle of Wight ? Are you bored or just looking for a new challenge ?

I normally would have bitten the bullet and moved up to Windows 11 but for once in my life I've decided to stay where I am for as long as I can. I have a newish laptop and am reasonably technically competent so don't think it would be that painful but just don't see the point really. I expect I'll stay on Win10 until they stop rolling out security patches. Anyone else tried it ?

I never to use the dedicated cycle lane on Lyndhurst because (a) I can cycle in traffic quick enough to avoid issues and more so (b) my route takes me down Holly Grove and so you have to pull out right from the cycle path on Lyndhurst into the traffic to get across which is dangerous. Sticking to the cycle lane is only worth it if your going straight on.

I'm sure that you've read this already but I think that you are correct and you'll buy a new one for the new car and apply for a refund for the car you've sold, and they deduct ?14.50 as an admin charge. They also only refund full months so better make sure you get in the request before the end of January. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking/parking-permits/on-street-permits/resident-parking-permits

Could calling 111 be any help ?

/forum/read.php?30,2254041 Does he just put them outside his own house and charge you a fiver ?

If he has designs on becoming an MP one day, this could come back to bite him. Tabloids would love it.

?750k maybe but isn't the LTN funding part of central governments grant to local authorities, i.e. not funded by council tax ? Also looks like there is a threat to remove funding if schemes are removed. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1007807/active-travel-schemes-supported-by-government-funding.pdf

Hi James - regarding the Air Quality Report. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/77414/Air-Quality-modelling-report_June-2021_Dulwich-Streetspace.pdf Regardless of the argument over traffic levels, no real change to the levels of pollutants along East Dulwich Grove, Dulwich Village, Half Moon Lane, Village Way. Wasn't reducing pollution a key objective of the LTN implementation, so perhaps the measures don't go far enough ?

Thanks JohnL - I don't have a BT line so had to use the address version of the checker below and that, if it's picked up the correct cabinet, say that FTTC is available. Strange if true then that the ISP's aren't offering it.

Can you really say **insert shop name** are the best unless you tasted them all ? 🤢

Hi ianr - I have tried numerous sites (BT, Sky, Vodafone, Plusnet, John Lewis, Uswitch), most of which don't offer anything faster than 11-13mbps. Uswitch threw up Poptelecom who did offer fibre but they sound a little dodgy. My guess is that they all using the same database which may or may not be out of date. It may be possible to get something faster than 13mbps but because they don't think you will, their websites will not offer you any fibre-based packages. I'm not sure that I want to sign up for an ADSL package and then just hope that the actual speed is better. Also considering 5G from 3. I am supposed to get top quality 5G reception indoors where I am and its sold on a 14-day money back basis so could be worth a punt.

@Artemis - if my comments, in relation to Rockets and this thread, came across as a criticism that wasn't the intention. On the one hand I was simply interested to find out whether or not this thread was their only activist outlet. By all means keep asking questions and providing commentary but I'm not convinced that you will ever have an official, i.e. council-approved, response or engagement via a thread on the EDF. On the other hand regardless of who is presenting their argument or information, I prefer that we're provided with facts, as much as they can be verified by bunch of web forum users, and by stating that the council said they would behave in a particular way without being able to back it up is simply wrong. But hey, maybe I'm fussy.

OK - so (a) you've failed to provide any evidence that "that's not the democratic process they claimed they would follow at the outset of this." You run the risk of undermining your own integrity by presenting opinion as fact. (b) in a practical sense your efforts to change Southwark's stance on the LTN's are confined to posting on this thread. Glad that's clear. Merry Christmas everyone (anyone got a football ?)
