How come those streetspace sites are so skewed to leaving positive comments?


Following the experimental road closures, what is working well at this location?


That's a bit of a leading question. Why isn't there one that says:


Following the experimental road closures, what is not working well at this location.


These council websites are so skewed towards the narrative they want to deliver.

This on Southwark Cyclists.....


'The closure of Peckham Rye to cars should extend all the way from Peckham Rye up through Rye Lane so that it's possible to get from Peckham High Street to Peckham Rye Park via Rye Lane without encountering cars.'


.....is precisely the problem with single issue lobby groups.

Half expected this as it's the way we are headed - seems to be roadworks on the bit of Rye Lane that's open every day - maybe they'll make them permanent. is something down there ? I think outside my flat is Quatermass and the pit.

There needs to be a legal challenge by means of a Judicial Review. I have obtained legal advice which confirms that in order to legally enforceable the roadblocks, there needs to be a second order under section 9 and 10 of the Road Traffic Act 1984.


Furthermore, the 15 October 2020 order experimental orders under sections 9, 10 and 63 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 can be challengeable within six weeks. In the the first instance a pre-action protocol letter would need to be served on the council.

I took advice, you can do this - it will cost you to send a letter as first course of action, it will get them to pay attention - but may not do much more - anything beyond that could get very expensive - but you have time to do it.


I will PM you with a local solicitor's details who has experience in these matters. He gave me some good advice but we sadly didn't have time on our side.

Is this something One Dulwich might do?

    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.
