Mal you started a thread on the subject of licensing, can you continue your discussion on there?

I erroneously posted this on the wrong thread:

The thing is, it is already the case that cyclists can be fined for cycling on paths that are not shared, so why not add this to the work of community wardens as they do their CPZ rounds?

Here's what happens when you mix cyclists and pedestrians....happening all over London because our active travel leaders care only for cycling.

No idea who 'our active travel leaders' are. But yes, that's a terrible design. I suspect you'll find most people travelling by bike are not particularly keen on that layout either, but of course, you have to to make it 'us versus them'.... on that, do you have to keep reposting divisive anti 'cyclist' stuff from Twitter on here? If people want to follow you down a Twitter rabbit hole, they can do it on.. err, Twitter?  That platform is toxic and you're going a long way to making this section of the forum just as bad.

Couldn't agree more. This local forum feels like it is being subverted by culture war nonsense of dubious political origin. Smart move by admin to split off the roads and transport stuff, it feels like less and less people can be bothered to engage with it

But here you are; you are engaging with it.

It is amusing that you, along with various other anti car/pro LTN posters on here, keep trying to shut this stuff down. Why? Why the need to even try? 
 
As I have said before, I am reasonably sure that most of the posters that disagree with your stance are annoyed local residents who dislike the way the council have handled their strategy on road closures, sometimes using less than transparent methods, spending millions on projects like Dulwich Junction in the process.

Why don't you become one of those people you say cannot be bothered to engage with 'it' and stop airing your frankly outlandish conspiracy theories on here?

I do not drive, I do not have a car, never have owned one. I cycle but not in London. I walk a lot.

I am sick and tired of the cycle lobby bullying everyone into their own tiny tiny world.

@DulvilleRes "This local forum feels like it is being subverted by culture war nonsense of dubious political origin.' - what does this mean?

 

Malumbu, absolutely nonsense. You can support active travel measures but oppose a specific implementation of an active travel measure. Stop viewing the world as a binary one - a lot on the pro-lobby really struggle to see that there can be a middle ground and this is why so many think their behaviour can be a cultish - it's their way or nothing else. 

Lockdown was an active travel measure, you were allowed to walk a bit but otherwise had to stay in your house. Pollution caused by traffic reduced etc etc. What's not to like? So let's have permanent lockdown as an active travel measure and anyone who disagrees with a permanent state of lockdown is a fascist secret Tory who must be despised for their views.

Pretty much

Nearly mowed down by female cyclist whilst crossing on Green man to Dulwich Library. Yelled at her (woman in 20/30s) but was ignored and no apologies given.

She probably had earphones in. Nobody cares about others any more that's the root issue. How do you get people to have more empathy and consideration?

More of a major issue is cyclists consistently cycling fast through red lights at traffic lights. Usually lime bike cyclists.

    • I agree that someone somewhere must at one point decided on their purpose, however if anything was ever written down it is probably long lost, given the turnover of councillors and council staff . The Crofton Park noticeboards I mentioned above are solely for information about the council  and various community groups and activities, plus  various community related things such as the library times and services.  I think they are very bright, interesting and inviting, however I am not going back there solely in order to take a photo The ones in East Dulwich don't have much on them because ... well, for the reasons on this thread 🤣 Quite apart from the fact that these are supposed to be community notice boards, there are all sorts of reasons why they should not be used for private businesses to advertise, as I and others have already said. Yes there have been huge changes in the area, but I can't see how those changes affect the purpose of community noticeboards, unless you think that the changes mean that there is no longer a "community" in East Dulwich. Which would be very sad indeed. Anyway, I am stepping away from this thread now, I have other things to do 🙄
    • From experience, it's the norm that the local authority reject appeals regardless of facts. Suggest you appeal and highlight that you followed the requirements by using the app to log the parking session and the failure of the app / network to register this is a technical issue beyond your control for which you can not be held responsible for and accordingly not penalised. Also that the traffic wardens records confirm you were parked for less than the free period so again should not be penalised. Do a search on web for similar appeals The 'fight back forum' website used to be very good for people sharing there appeals experience; and looks like this is no longer running but try https://www.ftla.uk I've appealed loads of Penalty Charge Notices for myself, friends and family and all been successful. In approx half of the appeals the local authority did not even respond and were won by default.  Re 20p fee - check if you you have text message alert 'on' as these are generally charged for and if so turn it off to save text fee. Hope this helps For Clarity, you need to follow the process, so have to first appeal to the local authority that issued the PCN (sounds like you've done this).  Then you can appeal to the London Tribunals and the local authority have to tell you this and tell you your reference number to submit this appeal.  
    • I’ve read the thread, but no one on the thread has authority over the noticeboards. There must be something written somewhere spelling out the purpose of them;  if they’re not serving that purpose maybe the purpose should change.  I’m interested, not because I have a business which I wish to advertise, but because I’ve seen noticeboards elsewhere that have a richer more reflective feel maybe a bit like a physical manifestation of the What’s on on section of this forum but more 
    • There has already been pages of discussion about this. Please read the whole thread if you haven't already. These are community notice boards and not for the use of  local commercial businesses. I need this to be quite clear before I spend  time on it, because if they are to be used for commercial purposes then I am not willing to be involved at all, and shan't be speaking to Monica
