Thanks - will be interesting to watch.

[legalalien]

Off topic slightly, but I?d hate to have my work video calls streamed and stored on YouTube.

[Abe_froeman]

thanks

[Abe_froeman]

Has it started? I can't see it?

[Rockets]

Nor can I - can anyone find it? Nothing appears to be being streamed live.

[Abe_froeman]

It's started now....

[Abe_froeman]

It's a shame the quality is so poor

For anyone that wants to watch the presentation - it's available here:

They're just reading from scripts...what a load of crap.

[Rockets]

Is it a co-incidence Dougie's video didn't run properly.....ahem....?

Well done Dougie, great job.

[ali2007]

ditto. well done Dougie!

[Abe_froeman]

Yes, well done Dougie, thank you.

[Abe_froeman]

Quite a positive message from the council leader about addressing concerns to find the best way forward.

Yes I thought so too.

And thanks Dougie!

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!

For anyone who had technical issues - here is a link to the video presented by Dougie.

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)

[legalalien]

Serra I think she said schools AND the Dulwich Estate.. am still watching the call to see what happens on the clean air agenda item so can?t check...

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.

Sorry - didn't spot you'd already done it!

[Rockets]

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?
