Also an interesting summary of cycle hangar roll out and waiting lists on the agenda http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/documents/s94701/Cycle%20Hangars%20-%20Feb%202021.pdf

Wasn?t trying to make a point actually just thought people might be interested. I?m quite a fan of school streets as it happens.

Some kind of table of schools which have identified as feasible for /perhaps don?t want school street closures locally http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/documents/s94700/School%20Streets%20Schemes%20-%20Feb%202021.pdf Given DCPS (assume they mean DPL) and Kingsdale have been identified, is a school street for Alleyn Park on the cards?

Agenda for Thursday?s Environmental Scrutiny Commission meeting now up with what looks like an entirely different parking briefing... http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?MId=6957 ETA: the comparison with the original document looks like it will be telling

Bit behind this week, but here?s the link to info about tomorrow?s Council Assembly meeting http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?MId=6775&x=1 Some public questions about LTNs (based on last meeting expect these may be given written answers offline), request by Dulwich area independent high street business to give evidence on the general local economy theme. Other interesting things including an LD member?s motion advocating return of trams to Southwark. At 6.2 on the agenda info about allowances paid to councillors, and LDs asking questions about whether / what ?loss of office? payment may have been made to the outgoing cabinet member for housing (after his Twitter scandal related departure).

Plus I think I saw (not sure where - possibly twitter), that the hard copy leaflets went to residents on Melbourne Grove but not the businesses (who were missed out last time) - similar for closures on Rye Lane. The One Dulwich FoI info is also on their website. Not sure what the base data looked like / how they extracted the positive info, but looks interesting... https://www.onedulwich.uk/news/who-closed-dulwich-village-junction

Yes that works for me, where do I need to get to?

Heteromysis hornimani. Love it.

Just to add, although headed Dulwich Healthy Streets this review also includes the experimental measure at Champion Hill, which wasn't part of the original Dulwich OHS discussion I don't think (and I guess is sort of ED/ Denmark Hill border).

Here are the second two pages, including brief description of review process.

Just had a council flyer about review through the letterbox. Pics of first two pages attached.

Just had a flyer with info about the review process through my letterbox. Will take some pics and post on other thread.

I agree Siduhe and I also think that there needs to be a way of ensuring that the voices of those who work in the area, while living outside the area, are heard. I will be forwarding info to tradespeople I have used who work regularly in this area, it would be good if local businesses could make staff and regular customers aware.

Yes, I noticed that when registering...

I've posted this on a couple of other threads but for completeness here's a link I just found where you can preregister to receive info about the review of the Dulwich, East Dulwich and Champion Hill closures. https://consultations.southwark.gov.uk/environment-leisure/dulwich-review-registration-form/

I don?t think Living Streets need any more supporters here - the chair of their London campaigning arm seems to be a de facto councillor, coopted to various committees and advising the scrutiny committee on what their work programme should be, if I?m not mistaken.

Our local councillors would say exactly what the Southwark Labour whip told them to say, presumably. Still don?t approve of the whipping arrangements in local govt (or generally). (Just googled and saw this as an example - but must not derail the thread! https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/labour-councillors-break-from-party-in-brexit-vote/) Rockets Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Legal - what would our Labour councillors be > saying about that if the Tories or Lib Dems were > the ones pushing these LTNs on the community? > > 22.5k in just over a month is shocking and the > council should be forced to review the signage.

Agenda for next Environmental Scrutiny Commission now up (no parking related documents this time - they are ?to follow?). http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?MId=6957&x=1 There are some council answers to specific traffic related questions asked by the Commission including this: ?Answer -During the last year the council has used experimental traffic orders to introduce several Low Traffic Neighbourhoods with complementary modal change improvements to walking and cycling, bringing forward certain cycle lane improvements (e.g. light segregation Cycle Superhighway 7 ? Southwark Bridge Road), work with TfL and Guy?s and St Thomas Trust Charity, and introduce a large number of School Streets. All these schemes have responded to the Covid- 19 pandemic and requirements regarding social distancing, together with other public health and air quality priorities. They also support other highways measures to reduce traffic and encouraged modal shift. But it will require a sustained period of monitoring and evaluation to assess their full effect as they take time to ?bed in? and because of fluctuating traffic levels due to lockdowns, school closures, the backlog of utility works, etc.? Looks like more ?bedding in? and blaming of utility works. They do realise that utility works in general aren?t going to evaporate? It?s now pretty obvious that the Croxted crisis was not caused by the bridge works at Herne Hill. Meanwhile, the tension between the Commission?s recommendation to limit the use of electric vehicles, and the Council policy of encouraging the uptake of ultra-low emission vehicles, continues...

So, I gather Southwark have been taking in ?? from the Dulwich LTNs..according to Twitter, quoting an FOI response revealed on radio - nearly 22.5k penalty notices in a seven week period in Jan/Feb. Apparently we have guerilla road user charging... maybe the signage isn?t very good?

The various decision notices seem to refer to the EqIA done on the general Movement Plan, which you can find here https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-and-building-control/planning-policy-and-transport-policy/transport-policy/policy-and-guidance-documents/movement-plan - there's a 2019 Joint Equality and Health Analysis. Which doesn't exactly help on this specific issue as the evidence for almost all the conclusions is stated as "Consideration has been given to specific impacts that might arise as a result of the implementation of the Movement Plan .The Equalities Analysis has also been informed by feedback through consultation events and responses, our evidence base document and our local knowledge and expertise." Oddly it notes that a pregnant women might rely on using a car but doesn't say the same thing about someone with a disability. The Evidence Base document referred to is at that link as well. alice Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > It says that some roads have up to 60% BAME > residents.

Interesting read - report on a proposed decision to adjust/ replace the experimental orders for the LTN around Great Suffolk Street in the north of the borough. http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/documents/s94599/Report%20-%20Great%20Suffolk%20Street.pdf. Looks as though the local (LD) councillors have been talking to residents and pushing for tweaks. Gives an idea of council's general approach I guess. Emergency services pressing for cameras, not roadblocks, as they've indicated elsewhere. consultation seems to be commonplace plus some unspecified more detailed consultation. Still interesting that the council rely on their general Equality Impact Assessment in their Movement Plan rather than anything specific to this scheme. I guess the CA might give more guidance as to whether a general or more specific analysis is needed when the TfL / taxi thing comes before them. Must re-read the EqIA for the Movement Plan at some point....

Otto 2 - I think in relation to the private schools, it's really the younger/ primary age groups than secondary - when they generally take the train or coach.
