Thanks for the UKMTP link above, I have joined. I am lucky in that I have a garage but Southwark could use more bike parks with rails for us to lock our bikes to. I alerted James Barber to the fact that the one on corner of Lordship Lane and the pub on Northcross Road is great but on Saturdays as it is closed to traffic there needs to be another nearby. We are never near the top of the list for funding though.

I did post a while go that I thought that some secure motor bike spaces should be provided within the yellow line zones that the council insist will be installed on every junction in Southwark. No one responded so I contacted James Barber. He thought that I meant parking on double yellows. When I clarified that I meant a motorbike bay within the 7.5 metres so that the desired sight lines were still maintained while also providing secure parking he kindly forwarded it to the appropriate council officer for consideration including offering some local funding for the secure anchors. I don't have a motorbike but I do think it could also alleviate some of the extra pressure on car parking which will be caused by the yellow lines. A motorbike can take up as much room as a car especially when it needs to be chained to a tree or lamp post to stop it being stolen. I'm not holding my breath that the council will see any sense in this proposal but I must say that James Barber has done whatever he can to help. Thank you James.

      Where can you smell Wood Burning stoves in East Dulwich

      Enforcement costs money which I doubt the fines actually pay for. Presumably it hasn't been a priority.

      Where can you smell Wood Burning stoves in East Dulwich

      Per Cllr McAsh, as quoted above: “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution. " Is anyone au fait with the Clean Air Act 1993, and  particularly with the state of 'Smoke Control' law and practice generally?  I've just been looking  through some of it for the first time and, afaics, the civil penalties mentioned  were introduced into the Clean Air Act, at Schedule 1A, in May 2022.  So it seems that, in this particular,  it's a matter of the enforcement policy trailing well behind the legislation.  I'm not criticising that at all, but am curious.

      Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274
