It’s been said before, but worth reminding everyone that a consultation is not a referendum. Cllr McAsh was clear to state that resident feedback would be one element considered when decision making - “Resident feedback is one part of it but then looking at all the evidence that we’re gathering as well. That is all important.”

They sound deranged and, in the interests of accuracy (something One Dulwich care little for) the Streatham LTN hasn’t been ‘scrapped’ or removed, it is suspended.

I saw it this morning, it's the C6 route for the Dulwich Foundation Coach service. Contact details - Contact - Foundation Schools' Coach Service (dulwich.org.uk)

No Rockets, that’s you trying to repeat your stuck record. Evaporation is evidenced by the fact the traffic levels are mostly still lower than pre-Covid levels. The more recent rise in traffic is due to the hours of the timed restrictions reducing which has induced demand. As traffic has increased, it follows that cycling has reduced.

The dashboard showed traffic on most roads was significantly lower than pre-covid. The recent trend (Jun 22 compared to Jun 23) showed some increases which reflects the change to the timed restriction hours (halved I think?). Reducing the timed restrictions has induced demand.

Only if you’re travelling by car, many don’t. The changes make my journey by bike to do our weekly shop at Sainsburys much safer and probably quicker too.

This thread on X/Twitter is a good summary of the positive permanent changes the council is proposing with their latest consultation

Thank-you for sharing @AylwardS. With so much anti-social & dangerous parking in Dulwich it is good news. “The number of people receiving penalty charges has increased by 50% over the last 12 years and we are concerned that the current penalty levels are not set high enough to act as a deterrent.”

Fire at a waste transfer station in Herne Hill, likely to be highly polluting. It’s a horrible smell, we’ve just shut all our windows.

Would love to see your evidence for those statements @Spartacus. The data shows a different story, as does my lived experience.

If anyone is thinking of donating it’s worth remembering the now defunct Dulwich Alliance’s efforts to seek a judicial review. Donations totalled £28,250 and it would seem all that happened was lawyer’s advised against pursuing legal action.

Exactly. A consultation is not a referendum, nor is it a vote.

Surely you’re not also against school streets? @Rockets @heartblock

No conspiracy Rockets, statutory consultation happens for every key decision after the initial consultation has ended.

https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/southwark/its-made-the-place-much-nicer-residents-speak-about-life-after-controlled-parking-zones/ Good to see Southwark News reporting the positives of CPZs

CPZs clearly have a role to play in reducing car journeys. It’s worth noting that ‘Small-area Controlled Parking Zones borough-wide’ is one of 6 key measures the Healthy Streets Coalition call on all London councils to implement. https://www.healthystreetsscorecard.london/ Lots of well-respected charities and campaign groups make up the Healthy Streets Coalition such as RoadPeace, Action Vision Zero, Wheels for Wellbeing, London Living Streets etc…, supported by Asthma & Lung UK and Clean Cities campaign.

That’s such a depressing photo with so many cars blocking the pavement, isn’t it illegal in London?

Well done for reporting Jim, I find East Dulwich Road is terrible for speeding drivers. Worth giving @DulwichRoads a follow if you’re on Twitter. They seem to be getting traction with local police, flagging hotspots etc

It’s strange how some drivers think they should be entitled to store their private property in the public realm for free.

Dangerous drivers are mounting the pavement on Rosendale Rd in order to avoid roadworks. Take care if travelling this way. Hopefully these videos will be acted on by the police.

The problem is drivers parking inconsiderately - CEOs no longer having to wait 5 mins for a driver to switch of their idling engine when asked is a good thing.
