because they are trying to claim it as an open space, being used for community purposes, to dissuade a reversal of the planning decision which closed that junction ?

Maybe , like the communist party of China does in Tiananmen Square, the council could put on an annual show of its might by driving dust carts through it once a year whilst the crowd politely clap chairman Peter John (if they don't clap they will face death by a thousand CPZs ) and the villagers can all release doves dyed red in his honor and to celebrate crushing the evil West's plan to allow freedom of driving


All hail emperor Ming.....

I love the way they celebrate the fact the "Square" has been created whilst the newly-created A-road that is Dulwich Village roars in the background.


I may be tempted to complain that they are blocking a major cycle route with these events....;-)

It is interesting to see our Councillor turn up to support, no effort to social distance at this Covid-19 designated closed junction and Southwark Events confirming that the organisers have no licence to use this space as none have been issued under Covid measures.


Southwark website:

Please be aware that we are not currently accepting, or processing event applications. We are working to produce guidance for the recommencement of public outdoor events in Southwark, in line with recent Government recommendations and this information should be available shortly.

He hasn't been answering questions on anything for some time...not just the closure of DV which he supported and actively used to lobby the residents of Melbourne Grove to gain support and lobby for his proposed closures of said road......


Probably on holiday, he's a schoolteacher so this is officially his time off.


The goings on at that junction are annoying now - there was some sort of musical duet there a couple of weeks ago, people standing around. It's still a road - there were still cyclists and pedestrians and a couple of people on mobility scooters looking to get through it all and finding it quite difficult, especially to maintain social distancing. Not going to be long before some idiot dancing in the "square" collides with a scooter or cyclist and blames the legitimate road user.

As I pointed out, interesting to see our Councillor turn up to support. Southwark Events have confirmed that the organisers have no licence to use this space as none are being issued under Covid measures.

I'm disgusted about it and I live nearby but do not want to be associated with the people there. By the way, Au Ciel is one of the two businesses supporting the closure. Wonder why? Lucky they got their alcohol licence virtually nodded through.

I understand that gatherings of no more than 30 people are allowed. Looks like more than 30 people in the video. I wouldn?t be happy if I lived on Court Lane/Calton junction with all that going on outside, think the closure will be losing any remaining support with locals.

Yeah, it was so much nicer and safer when it was an endless chain of white Range Rovers driving 1.5km trips on Really Important Errands.


I can't stand people enjoying themselves.

Really ... the rare white range rover, a very endangered species normally seen in its native environment of the scrappus yardus of Sloane


Bit of an exaggeration there tbnhg , now if you said family cars filled with families doing family things it might have been credible.


I think rouwj is referring to the risk presented by a large gathering of spreading the virus during a pandemic that hasn't gone away despite the way people are behaving

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
