There is a concerted effort to try and shame anyone who dares challenge the pro-LTN narrative at the moment and it has gone into overdrive following the protest.


It seems attack is the only form of defensive some people have to counter rational and pragmatic analysis of the true reality of LTNs.

I wouldn't worry, a lot of things that go in the blue bins can't actually be recycled - crushed tins and plastic bottles, even where made of recyclable materials, often are rejected if their shape doesn't conform to expectations. As is anything but bone dry cardboard (which would, actually, work well as a composted material, but can't be put in the kitchen and garden waste!).

Oh I don?t know that counsellors are to blame


I disagree. Our local councillors should consider their duty to represent their constituents and to comply with Southwark Council code of conduct, see https://www.southwark.gov.uk/council-and-democracy/councillors-and-mps/your-councillors?chapter=2.

I am not making a point. I am providing a link to information and details about transport policy goals re: the Gov't net zero strategy. I have not changed the link.


I specifically avoided making a point to keep things neutral. It is a good read.

Otto,

When I first saw you post it seemed to link to an article about % of short journeys in London that could be made by active travel. Hence my response that, in Dulwich, there was an extremely high level of active travel before the road closuree, much igher than in the rest of Southwark.


Re the link you currently have, diverting traffic onto the displacement roads, increasing congestion and idling, is not going to help teh Govt's "strategy".

That's a great article, not least because I am sure many of the usual suspects will be bombarding Southwark News with....it wasn't 1,000 people messages....;-)



All we need now is for some media to challenge Cllr Rose on demonstrating her claims of "extraordinary impact in increasing active travel and reducing car use" to take this story to another level. Unfortunately for all the bluster the council's claims don't stand up well under scrutiny. I did think it was interesting that in the BBC Radio London interview Cllr Williams kept trying to talk about Southwark wide and the interviewer kept trying to get him to focus just on Dulwich. I suspect the council knows the Dulwich numbers don't add up.

Be interesting if a 999 call LFB turned in when a load of cyclists come down Calton Ave, because of course it is their right of way, or so they are always saying.

Rachel Gates.


I am now on leave and will be returning Wednesday 27th October. I will have limited access to my emails during this time so if there is anything urgent please contact [email protected]


Query the TMO and this comes up.


Would have thought if they give a name for the TMO's they would be there to answer any queries. Perhaps hoping you might just forget

The consultation on the new TMOs opened on the 21st and runs through to the 11th November


Details of the results of the recent consultation are here

https://www.southwark.gov.uk/transport-and-roads/improving-our-streets/live-projects/dulwich-review?chapter=3

Anyone wishing to object to or make any other representations regarding the proposals, may use the form labelled 'Parking - Road traffic and highway schemes - responding to statutory

consultation notices' at https://www.southwark.gov.uk/statutoryconsultationnotices or send a statement

in writing to: the Traffic Orders Officer, Highways, Southwark Council, Environment and Leisure,

P.O. Box 64529, London SE1P 5LX or by e-mail to [email protected] quoting

reference the reference for each individual traffic order by 11 November 2021.


TMOs are

?TMO2122-EXP13_Melbourne Grove north?

?TMO2122-EXP14_Grove Vale Trial?.

?TMO2122-015_DS Calton Avenue area?

?TMO2122-16_DS Champion Hill?

?TMO2122-017_DS East Dulwich area'

?TMO2122-18_DS Melbourne Grove south?

?TMO2122-19_DS bus, cycle and taxi routes?

I?m going to guess either (i) something to do with social care or (ii) the kind of exemptions for residents on school streets that it looks like Waltham Forest has (labelled things like SC1, SC2 etc - see https://www.walthamforest.gov.uk/schoolstreets), or (iii) Southwark has considered (ii) and decided not to but left a ref in the TMO by mistake. Disclaimer - haven?t looked at the TMOs yet. Jb112jb are you on a school street?

Rather than scoff about climate change and the impact it is having, perhaps you can do something about it.


Bicknell - no, I didn't find it funny.


40 years time "granddad/grandma what did you do during the great climate crisis of the mid 20th century" - "Oh sunny Jim/Jan, I made facetious remarks"


Anyway, laid down the gauntlet - would be interested to hear what you are both doing to reduce your CO2 emissions including your transport carbon footprint.

SC2 appears to be a [CPZ] "permit identifier" as defined in Schedule 1 to the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016: "any upper case letter or letters, with or without a number, whether or not placed on a patch which may be of any colour, where the letter and, as the case may be, number are of any size, in a colour that contrasts with the background on which they are placed and indicate a type of permit".


If you look at the 'TMO2122-017_DS East Dulwich area' TMO https://www.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/66571/DS-East-Dulwich-area-notice-dated-21-Oct-2021-.pdf — one of those available at https://www.southwark.gov.uk/transport-and-roads/traffic-orders-licensing-strategies-and-regulation/traffic-management-orders?chapter=5 — for references to 'SC2' and 'permit' you'll find it's about providing exceptions for residential, etc (see page 9) permit holders.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
