Well it was started by someone who would fit that mould.

Increasingly the people I work with like to "opine". Ugh.

After 260 pages and 7700+ posts isn't it time the two sides met a pub one evening and let this thread die gracefully ?

I'm confused - are you saying the Melbourne Grove LTN changes are OK but at the same time they are doing more harm than good ?

This is rapidly becoming the new Natty's moped. /forum/read.php?9,2239144 It's the second attempt to sell a 10 year old macbook for probably twice what it's worth (original posts deleted).

Assuming you mean Crystal Palace Road then it's probably part of the Southwark Spine. https://consultations.southwark.gov.uk/environment-leisure/eastdulwichtopeckham/

Got some at Morrisons early this morning. Not all pumps were working. Also looked like there was some at the Esso on East Dulwich Road.

Hmm. Feel free to continue to think you were voting for or against LTNs but you weren't. You were being consulted. You've been consulted. They've spun the results. You don't like the outcome and by all means protest. But just like the *whispers* CPZ, this wasn't a vote with a binary outcome.

Each of the Streetspace measures was rejected by two out of three people living and working in the three Dulwich LTNs, who opted for ?return it to the original state?. Look I'm no apologist for the council who I know have heavily spun their presentation of the data but surely this is factually incorrect. Each of the Streetspace measures was rejected by two out of three people, who responded to a survey, living and working in the three Dulwich LTNs, who opted for ?return it to the original state?. We don't know how many people are classified as living and working in the three Dulwich LTNs but we do know that the consultation newsletter was posted to 19,729 addresses and of the survey respondents 5,538 classified themselves as living and working in the three Dulwich LTNs.

Not as far as I know - just Melon Road.

Not watched much US Open Tennis before. Blimey they need to sort themselves out. Empty seats. Lots of shots of people on their phones. People popping down to the court for selfies in-between points. Heart of Glass. Thank god for Wimbledon. And well done Emma, fantastic.

Looks like the council are dropping "Everyone Active" and moving it all in house in June 2023. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/news/2021/sep/southwark-council-to-bring-leisure-services-in-house

Really ? Have you counted the occupied car parking spaces at the Health Centre ? Maybe 20 or so. You can stand on EDG pretty much anytime during the day and count 20 cars in a minute or two, so "contribute significantly" seems a little OTT to me.

Here's the list of businesses on FH road from the Kelly's Directory from 1910's. It looks like 120 was a confectioner back then, even though there was another at 116 (118 was a dairy). Perhaps they bought a lot of sweets back then. http://specialcollections.le.ac.uk/digital/collection/p16445coll4/search/searchterm/London/field/place/mode/exact/conn/and/order/nosort

And what about the 55 staff ? Nursey education is not the best paid of profession's and East Dulwich and environs is not a cheap place to live so you can assume they would need to commute from further away. I wonder how many will drive and where will they park. Plenty of non-CPZ spaces on Melbourne Grove (south).

Self Amalgamting Tape ? Stroll up to Toolstation https://www.toolstation.com/self-amalgamating-repair-tape/p23876?searchstr=self%20am

Maybe it's in the name ?

I think they do - Mon-Fri - regardless.

Ahh - found it. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/housing/new-council-homes/where-we-re-building/peckham/flaxyard-site Seems like a real shame that the Council are building on green space. Isn't there also a huge new set of flats being built where the old timber yard (Whittens) was ?

Anyone know what's going on Melon Road around the entrance to Peckham Pulse - there are a load of hoardings in place which seems to have sprung up now that the testing centre has been removed from the PP car park. I tried to cycle through there to Sumner Road but it's now all blocked by the new hoardings.

We no longer have problems, difficulties or issues just challenges.

Went to Grove Vale library this afternoon. Closed until further notice the sign on the door says. Though council website says it's due to a water leak. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/libraries/find-a-library?chapter=8

Another poorly advertised Southwark Consultation. Closes on 1st August. https://consultations.southwark.gov.uk/environment-leisure/melbourne-grove-temporary-street-market/
