Another complete waste of money by a totally irresponsible Council that spend taxpayers money with gay abandon. What on earth do they think it will achieve - apart from scaring pets and creating more particle and noise pollution.

Looks like a wind up!

He was doing the family weekly shop at Sainsburys DKH because he works full time and he lives close to Alleyns. Multiply that by hundreds of others who are time constrained by work and other circumstances and so the weekend traffic is congested. It would have been the same if he went on the 42 bus from Sainsburys. Is that difficult to understand? Maybe you are favoured by more fortunate circumstances. Does your butler do the shopping? And your nanny look after your kids? Why not get out there and see what has been happening with traffic.

The increased traffic congestion on Saturday & Sunday is horrendous on EDG, LL, DV, Croxted and Gove Vale simply because:- 1. Locals use their cars for a weekly shop as it's the only time they can reasonably do it if the work mid-week. 2. Most of the roads off EDG and the others are blocked. 3. People travel to socialise. Last Saturday, my neighbour took 40 minutes to travel from Grove Vale to Alleyns school. Your assessment is just so, so wrong.

If it's good enough for ULEZ and Birmingham Clean Air Zone plus the Police etc, etc. why are you against it? Are you some kind of computer-sceptic technophobe? Do not assume that everyone subscribes to Onedulwich's views on the matter. Also, there is no mention of ANPR cameras on OneDulwich's website or any of their documents that I've see. As to your comment "gum up the process and spread confusion" - that is reminiscent of the way in which totalitarian regimes comment on dissenters. Think China, Iran, etc The manner in which Southwark has :- (a) Introduced LTNs under Covid emergency measures. (b) Manipulated the stats © Failed to respond to requests for data (d) Issued a blatantly biased review questionnaire. I don't support aggressive anti-LTN action (that's for XR juveniles) but I do understand why some locals are incensed over the way this has been introduced. These people's lives are being made unbearable by increased pollution and disruption.

Dale Foden ( Head of Highways, no less) should take a trip to Birmingham where the council implemented their ANPR scheme today. Maybe if Southwark used some of the funding they received for this rather than expensive benches (?1,000 a pop) and the planters then we wouldnt be having all this grief over displaced pollution and congestion. This is from https://airqualitynews.com/2021/01/27/new-cameras-installed-in-birmingham-ahead-of-caz/ Siemens Mobility has installed 67 automatic number plate recognition cameras (ANPR) in Birmingham ahead of the new Clean Air Zone (CAZ). The ANPR cameras will identify and register every vehicle that enters the CAZ in order to identify which vehicles are exempt from charges. The Class D CAZ has been designed to deter drivers of the most polluting vehicles from entering the zone, drivers of all vehicles will be charged, including cars, if they do not meet the latest emissions standards. The ANPR cameras at the heart of the scheme.

All politicos lie. Nothing to see here, just move on.

Similarly, I have emailed the schools and the response received clearly established their position was sitting on the fence. They said that they would leave it to parents to decide on if/how they wanted to tackle the issue because it effected different families in different ways.

According to a locally-based Twitter a/c a tweeter saw the phantom sign maker putting up signs on trees. He said he gave the delinquent the proverbial Malocchio. Just as well he left it at that, as the same perp has been done for GBH, twice!

I would like to add that it is best to leave noting in view inside your car. Empty the glove box and leave it open. If you must leave something in the car, put it in the footwell and cover it with some dark cloth and they will leave your car aside. If you dont do the above, they will smash your passenger side window to get what they want. It's usually coins for parking that they are after. My neighbour's side window was smashed 3 times in 6 weeks until be learned the lesson

Thoroughly agree.

The dog is bulging at the seams.

Are you a business?

You have made the same point several times. It's beyond boring. rahrahrah Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > 164 pages? You?re forgetting about the other 10 or > more threads 😂

I am sure that the LTN measures has not reduced the number of actual journeys car users are making. The people I know locally still make the same number of trips however they just time them so that the do not get caught by the timed exclusion arrangements or whatever they are called. So if it's a weekly shop at Sainsbo's they will make it between 10am and 3pm. So all this does is move the pollution to a different time of the day

Excellent suggestion about the shops on LL. So far we have been door-knocking on EDG only as we are EDG residents primarily. It's a long street and it takes time to visit and discuss matters! We would be delighted if some of the shops displayed our signs because I understand many are suffering badly. If you or they want to obtain signs, please PM me a phone number and we can discuss. We can also deliver depending on where they are needed.. These road closures are so unfair, unjustified and damaging to many that we will do anything we can to assist other with expressing their views. Please consider saving the attached photo on your phone and showing it to others who may want to help the cause.

kmtrade wrote.. ---------------------- > SO YOUR A MONEY MAKING MACHINE TOO. Great. @kntrade, I find it very sad that you have taken such a cynical stance. We are actually subsidising the cost of the signs. Our actual cost is ?5.40 each. They are made by Xpress signs in Sydenham. I am quite prepared to show the invoice to you and anyone who wants to view it but should you be in doubt, ask any supplier for a quotation for the following: 1. Correx sign 5mm thick. 2. Size 705mm x 705mm 3. Two colour print. 4. Qty = 50 5. Inclusive of delivery. If you come up with a better price, let us know. This is a community project and not a profit-orientated venture. In addition, the make up of the signs/poles and their installation is being done free of charge. To make the poles secure and vandal-proof, they have to be securely fixed and this is most often to brick/concrete walls which requires a fair amount of time and effort. So kindly spare us cynicism. It is unjustified and inappropriate. kntrade2012 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > {Great, every one on display counts. > > The deal is ?5 per sign, so you probably need two > so you get one facing each way to the traffic and > ?5 for the pole if you need one. > > Please PM with your phone number and we can > discuss collection/delivery. > > David} > > SO YOUR A MONEY MAKING MACHINE TOO. Great.

We have had a fantastic response on the latest version of the signs . See attached We will be ordering more shortly so if you would like to get your order in. please send a PM.

Joseph, You have been advertising the letting your cottages repeatedly in the "For Sale/Offer" section of the forum since 2015. The appropriate section is "Businesses".

If continuing to be suspicious then phone the Bill. Continue observation and follow to see where he lives. Do not challenge even though most burglars/thieves are non-aggressive.

Well said Heartblock and CPR D, the silent majority are right behind you. The vocal "Thought Police" have us all walking on egg shells these days. Not to mention the "No Platform" brigade.

Have checked the regulations and they would not be infringed. The rules on Estate Agents boards are quite simple and largely refer to size, position and quantity. Check this out.... https://www.hendersonsigns.co.uk/blog/estate-agent-boards-rule-and-regulations/ https://landlordlawblog.co.uk/2015/10/28/about-letting-agents-boards/ Google is a friend.
