  1. I guess they assume that no one has the resources to go through judicial review and they've picked people off in a piece meal enough fashion to avoid there being group initiatives. On this: Have you seen the state of what the Councillors put in on Grove Vale. Those benches and planters etc that costs us tax payers tens of thousands of pounds now look utterly dreadful. The council doesn't even look after the stuff it makes us pay for.
  2. I suppose it's relevant because, just like these new CPZs, it's yet another example of Labour picking our pockets and pretending they are going to do something "Green" with the money.
  3. 225 people have signed this ePetition now. Spread the word!!
  4. First Mate, re "Everything turns on the notion that parking round here is scarce" It looks like that is going to be the tactic for the Goose Green councillors to avoid a charge of dishonesty being levelled at them. Goose Green is not included, yet, in the consultations. So if the CPZs come in all over Dulwich Hill and Dulwich Village a lot of those residents, especially on boundary roads alongside Barry Road and Lordship Lane will start parking their cars in CPZ free Goose Green. At that point some people here will start asking for a CPZ and the councillors can keep their "promises".
  5. The pool has been closed for about 3 weeks. Ever since Southwark took over.
  6. Quite a few of the Clean Air Dulwich people have left London altogether.
  7. jamesmcash Member 330 Author jamesmcash Posted May 15, 2019 Hi MarkT Just realised that the document you linked [referencing borough wide CPZ by 2025] was a consultation document and not the final version. The final version includes no reference to 2025 and instead talks about a general strategy to reduce car use by 13% by 2041. Best wishes James Posted June 8, 2019 Dear all ... Borough-wide CPZ The Southwark Local Implementation Plan 3 states that the council wants to reduce trips made by car/motorbike to 13% by 2041. It further states that introducing a borough-wide CPZ would be a means of achieving this. Personally, I do not think that this is necessary. I think that the council's current policy - to be led by requests from local people - is the right one. But there are 22 years (and 5 local elections!) to discuss this before we reach that deadline. Of course, there are definitely some people who would like to see this happen and want to see it sooner. I am not one of them though - and I will continue to argue in favour of existing policy jamesmcash Posted June 12, 2019 ed June 12, 2019 Hi all Policy on CPZ implementation I am afraid that I am unsure of how these different documents interact. But I do know for certain that the current policy in practice is the one I support: CPZs to only be implemented with the consent of residents. This will be confirmed, no doubt, when the East Dulwich CPZ is implemented in an area with majority support from residents.
  8. This is coming to all of Dulwich now so it's worth any affected getting behind the Nunhead campaign too and trying to stop this as much as possible. There is a Southwark petition here: https://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/mgEPetitionDisplay.aspx?ID=50000035 Southwark aren't going to do anything with this at all unless it gets to 250 signatures, and realistically it needs at least 500. If you want to stop CPZs in East Dulwich, the nest place to start is by helping Nunhead. We can then ask them to return the favour when petitions go up for our CPZs. Get your voices heard, and get those you know who are also against this to sign the petitions.
  9. I've found the council's report on their consultation on this movement plan, here:https://www.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/9429/Movement-Plan-2019-Consultation-Summary-Report-April-2019-.pdf Some highlights: And then, the only mention of parking in the whole document comes from "Stakeholder submissions": That's it. No doubt that this particular stakeholder included some cyclists many of whom don't even f***ing live here.
  10. Did he mention the forthcoming CPZ in Dulwich Village when he met them?
  11. It's a good point about skips, Earl A. At present in non-CPZ zones you only need to pay £96 @ month for a skip licence. When they bring in parking zones you will need to pay for a parking bay suspension on top of that which costs an additional £45 PER DAY plus an administration charge of another £79. So the cost of having a skip for one month will go up from £96 to £1,525. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking/guide-to-parking/suspension-of-parking-bays
  12. A reminder to everyone that "Malumbu" doesn't live or work in Southwark and has no business pretending on these threads that they do. Sorry Jules but this is a Labour policy through and through. The local Labour Councillor is a self declared Marxist. By his own definition he doesn't believe in people owning private property. Taxing people out of car ownership is the definition of this man.
  13. It's in that consultation, Duncan. "...we plan to put in place more local parking zones to cover the whole borough over the coming year." Worth remembering too that they have doubled the costnof parking permits in CPZs this year. They will likely do so again next year.
  14. "...we plan to put in place more local parking zones to cover the whole borough over the coming year. Your area does not currently have a permit system, so we are launching a consultation to ask you how we can make this work..." They aren't asking if they should do it, they are doing it and this consultation is a joke.
  15. The way that consultation is worded shows that the CPZ is a done deal. That's why there is no option to object to the CPZ . It's a consultation on how the CPZ will be implemented, not on whether it should be. It also seems that they are implementing these in Dulwich Village and Dulwich Hill, but not Goose Green. Presumably that's so that local councillors can pretend they've not broken any promises.
  16. Still no and getting more sceptical.
  17. The gullible muppets who voted Labour can't say they weren't warned about this.
  18. That video is shocking. It makes me wonder if she stole anything else from inside that shop. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12255731/amp/Moment-university-academic-tears-anti-LTN-petition-poster-shop-near-south-London-home.html
  19. When are the council going to start clearing all the other obstructions off the pavements like peoples bins, overgrown hedges, fly tipped rubbish, litter, broken glass and all the dog shit everywhere. These bikes are a nuisance, sure, but they also have some utility, unlike all the other detritus the council seem quite happy to ignore.
  20. Is it the Labour Council or the Labour mayor you are calling a halfwit? The South Circular is a TFL road and I think Croxted Road is governed by Southwark council.
  21. Looks very nice indeed. Cant wait to try this.
  22. Our local councillors don't seem to engage with anyone locally at all any more on any forum. They've given up here, their newsletter hasn't been updated for many months, you never see them in the area and it makes me wonder they actually do for us at all. I wish we still had James Barber looking out for us tbh
  23. Looks the fee for renting out your own home is actually £900, not 600
  24. Maybe it's because of this. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12111087/amp/Sadiq-Khan-admits-low-traffic-neighbourhoods-arent-perfect-need-REMOVING-London.html There's a photo of Melbourne Grove in the rogue's gallery. Hopefully they'll row back on some of the local ones here although I think the councillors are to proud to ever admit a mistake round here. This is shameful, and presumably includes the roads in East Dulwich: "The Times reported it had asked DfT to supply evidence that LTNs reduced distance driven but it could not provide any."
  25. So will they keep both shops or will something replace the flower shop? And what will go in Frogley Rd?
