Lordship lane and it's shops are not even within the incoming cpz and there will still be free parking on lordship lane and most surrounding streets so how is it affected?

Yes, you do,


"disabled badge holder?s vehicles - ?31.25 (12 months)"

Lots of people complaining about Southwark's tactics but are you all also complaining to the council as I suggested earlier or are you just letting air escape as the fight dies in you (which is what the council hope will happen)


If you truly believe the consultations were biased towards the council then complain and get something on record about your perceived injustice which makes any later enquiry more likely to deliver results.

Many of us complained before they made the decision and they dismissed every complaint and objection out of hand and shut down all debate on the issue.


If they don't listen to residents as part of the consultations they are legally compelled to undertake, I have no faith whatsoever that they will bother to do so after the fact.

Abe

Complaining is the first step in the process and must be undertaken so that you can get a letter dismissing your claim which then supports a request to https://www.lgo.org.uk/ to review the councils decision.


Yes the previous objections have appeared to be ignored but this is an important step that is required first.


As to whom to complain to , I would suggest copy emails / letters to the following people

Leader of the council

Head of parking

Your local councillor


Sorry I don't have addresses for any of them but if anyone does then feel free to post them here.

    • There is no equivalence between One Dulwich purporting to be a local organisation speaking for local people, and actually properly constituted organisations such as The Dulwich Society. A 3 -second google search reveals the openly published names of the trustees of Dulwich Society, so I can make my own mind up as to whether these individuals are coming at local issues with a particular slant. I can read minutes of their meetings online, and whilst I might not agree with their every position, I can have confidence that they are an open and fundamentally democratic institution. There is absolutely nothing similar in terms of publicly accountable information to be found about One Dulwich - no idea of who is behind it, who pays for it ( it is clearly expensive), and on what basis they make their decisions.  Given the Police involvement in the intimidation of people with a public pro-LTN view ( for which there is no equivalence in terms of severity of any incident for those with an anti-LTN point of view), I can fully understand why, for Dulwich Society's traffic sub- committee only, they want a bit of online anonymity. I also find it slightly disturbing that when The Dulwich Society current leadership asked the 'grouping' pushing for changes within it for a meeting to discuss their concerns, they refused it. Given the recent experiences of organisations such as The National Trust, the question can be asked - is something similar going on here?   
    • I’ll post it to the DVLA if i don’t find the owner by midweek. 
    • The most recent one did, despite the council making it very difficult for anyone to object (which interestingly they were forced to change for the CPZ consultation and look how that went for them). I will dig out the responses for you when I have more time so you can enlighten yourself.   Ha ha...the language used by councils when they see the results of a consultation and need an out to ignore the views of locals...;-) Did you not notice how this only became a thing once the consultation had been run....one wonders why!? Earl you can bluster all you like but you cannot ignore the fact the council closed the junction to emergency services and put lives at risk and resisted all calls (from the emergency services) to open it for them. Surely you can't defend that  or are you willingly turning a blind eye to that too? Ha ha, which kind of begs the question then why so many of you get so vexed by One Dulwich? Surely you could compartmentalise their work if the above was true? I suspect it has a lot to do with the accountability that they are forcing and the fact some don't like it.
    • I believe around 57% of the 5,538 people who were part of the self selecting sample making up the original consultation, opposed the LTN. So just over 3,000 people. This was around 3 years ago now. I think there’s something like 40,000+ living across se22 and SE21 🤷‍♂️  The LTN is a minority interest at best. Whilst it’s an obsession for a small number on the transport thread who strongly oppose it, I suspect most locals quietly approve of the improvements made to that junction. …and we still haven’t heard who has supposedly been pressurising the emergency services and how (are we seriously going with the far left / the commies)? Is anyone willing to stand up and support the 'One' claim that people are partially covering their plates and driving through the filters due to inadequate signage? Again, it all sounds a little ridiculous / desperate. Feels like it may be time for them to start coming to terms with the changes.
