For all of you interested the council meeting where they will discuss the e-petition to remove the road closures across Dulwich can be found here:

And...doing my very best Martin Tyler from Sky Sports.....It's LIIIIVVVEEE from 4pm!!!

It was a positive overall message, but incredibly light on detail. I was hoping for a clearer step plan of what the council is going to do next, but I do welcome the commitment to implement widespread monitoring of the impacts of the scheme with a focus on social fairness and particularly the rights of children.

Well done Dougie. You put the points across very well. I?m glad this coincided with a day of annual leave so that I could watch!


Re: engagement with schools, am I right in thinking that councillor Rose?s commitment only extended to engaging with those on the Dulwich Estate? That presumably excludes, Harris Primary ED, Charter ED and Goose Green (all of which are no doubt bearing the brunt of additional traffic on Lordship Lane, Grove Vale and EDG). I don?t think it?s at all fair to consult with the schools on the Estate whilst ignoring those elsewhere, particularly as we know that one of the big issues with the Dulwich scheme is that it is designed to banish traffic from the green leafy streets of the village and dump it elsewhere!

It will be up to everyone to keep expressing views and make sure something happens. But it didn?t sound like a blanket ?no change, let?s wait the full period and see? as advocated by the clean air etc lady ... the door seems to be open to some immediate tweaks to address the major problems (at least that?s what I heard, although that could be confirmation bias at work)

Ah, ok. I might watch back later to check.

That was my take home - 'we are going to do some reviews'. Urgent ones I hope.

We have to ensure this is an area-wide consultation and that the councillors are engaging with all RAs and all stakeholders. For too long they have treated this issue on a ward-by-ward basis and this is why the problems are so bad. Any discussion has to be with ALL stakeholders across the whole of Dulwich - not just in the pockets where there are the most vocal pro-closure activists.


The gentleman at the beginning is he from the Dulwich Village RA?

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
