I have just started to do a research project on car clubs. I work at the Centre for Transport Studies, UCL and got interested in car clubs when Streetcar did a big promotional activity in East Dulwich. Funding for the project comes from UCL so I have no vested interests although I do think they are a good idea.


I am interested in finding out about people?s experiences of using a car club and what their views of them are. I would like to know what sorts of lifestyle car clubs fits in with and where it doesn?t seem to be appropriate. I would also like to understand more about the economics of it ? for whom and when does it make economic sense to use car club and when not.


If any of you are car club users or have views about them I would love to hear from you. Here are some questions to get the ball rolling:


? What sorts of trips is car club good for and when doesn?t it make sense?

? Do you think there should be more parking bays allocated to car clubs?

? Is it possible to manage with young kids with car club as your only access to a car?

? If you have used a club car would you recommend doing so to others? Why? Why not?

? If you own a car would you think of giving it up now that you have joined car club? (Or not buying that planned second car?)

? What stops you joining a car club?


Look forward to hearing from you, Belinda

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.

      does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
