The Post Offcie certify copy documents. Check with whoever needs it if they would be appropriate

Its not free. Most of us who own cars also pay council tax at the full rate without discounts. That covers the cost. The council actually makes a profit from ttaxing motorists. They have more money than they know what to do with when it comes to roads, hence the extraordinarily lavish expenditure on landscaping the LTNs on Grive Vale etc. They are awash with cash they have extracted from car owners.

How about the "local" councillors look after it? They're here all the time anyway, right，so it wouldn't be much of an additional burden for them to update olit once a month.

He supported it, but if residents voted against it he would respect that. Many of the CPZs round here were implemented after he left and Labour took over.

That's fantastic news. Good on him.

I pass here almost every day and have never seen the local business struggle to load. There's plenty of space as things are. Seems to me this is just the meddling council being ****heads yet again. These are their reasons: "BAWDALE ROAD Goose Green add a total of 35m new 'DYLs' on both sides south-east of its junction with Lordship Lane (22m on the side of No. 157 Lordship Lane, 3m o/s No. 2 Bawdale Road, and 10m opposite No.2 Bawdale Road) to protect access for large vehicles coming to collect from and deliver goods to the nearby businesses" Consultation here: https://consultation.appyway.com/southwark/order/1c3a8926-8f51-47e1-8460-2727fec6d895

Is this the council supporting local businesses like what they said in their Melbourne Grove parking consultation?

It's a park, not a meadow.

That's absolutely disgusting. If it's true they should have closed the shop until it was fixed.

The reimagining of Kings Cross came with a huge amount of social cleansing.

What's in this deal for East Dulwich then?

Bob, your neighbours sound like the kind of care free fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants people who like to have fun. You should try to make friends with them and see what other tips you can get to make your life more exciting!!

Those floor plans remind me of the layout of the houses they built on the site of the Old Police Station opposite the Actress.

Are those images all AI or artists impressions?

It's probably time to ban dogs. On top of all that plastic waste, and the biohazard crimes left on our pavements every day, the average pet dog has a worse annual carbon footprint than a new Range Rover. Keeping "pet" dogs adds a terrible burden on our climate and is an anachronism that has had its day.

Hopefully it fares better than the public space outside the library / leisure centre

It's just a war on motorists Jazzer. First mate, I think you are spot on - raising that area must have been to liberate the street space for the revolutionary utility of the people when not being used for loading. It's the public who own the street space, let's not forget. Even though the planning for the desperately needed housing above M and S would necessarily include a shop which in turn would necessitate deliveries by lorry, using and parking on a road.

Last night I went to M & S and there were three cars parked in that bay facing towards the shop front (i.e. parked perpendicular to the road rather than parallel to it in the bay). That meant the front wheels of all three cars were across the brand new paving. I accept that is a total liberty and they should have been ticketed. It will destroy the appearance and possibly sink the new paving stones causing ponding and an uneven footpath. It's incredibly selfish. However, if the loading bay had been at road level rather than raised, I don't believe this would happen.

The works on Melbourne Grove are part of the Low Traffic Neighborhood scheme that cyclists campaigned for so vociferously. The bay outside M and S is a loading bay. It is intended to be used to park vehicles for loading, notwithstanding that it is raised. It has different paving to mark it out from the footpath and different curb stones that are angled to make it easier for vehicles to mount the curb, so they can park there and load.

The situation outside Oru is far worse with their large tables immediately adjacent to badly parked bikes using the bike racks there. And the lamppost also blocking the pavement.

Presumably a sub-post office could choose to use the shop space to replace unprofitable services with other commercial activities that a crown post office can't (like having an off licence business instead of taking back everyone's over-ordered clothes that don't fit etc)?

It's not, it's fine. Leave it alone.

Not at all. One of the EDT's best moments was the historic celebrations of Dulwich Hamlet being promoted. That night there actually were people all over the roundabout and it was great fun and wonderful coming together of large numbers of the local community. I wouldn't go that far, dogkennel, but I do think a more continental style approach to restaurants and bars on our high street would be great fun.

They do that in Chelsea. Bars and cafes can buy the parking space in front of their shop to put tables in. We should be more like Chelsea.
