Thanks for sharing, it would be good if at the very least this could result in a properly conducted and properly worded consultation, where councillors also indicate they will listen and take into account the views of residents, rather than impose.

I think that's all anyone really wants and if it had happened all along, 100s of posts may not have happened. 

But instead it feels like a council steam roller is trundling back and forth on local residents and their views (positive and negative)

Would love to contribute but these costs seem high and it would be disappointing if, say, £10k was raised for the preliminary stage  and the initial advice was then that the chances of the JR succeeding were hopeless.

It would also be quite annoying if the advice was that there was a good prospect but to proceed further you then need to raise even more money.

Have you shopped around for fee quotes? Can you not get a quote that is all in - i.e. includes the initial advice and the cost of the application and court proceedings?

You could also look at a direct access barrister specialising in local government public law to cut the costs of the initial review.

You need to get as much bang for your buck as possible to better your chances.

If anyone is thinking of donating it’s worth remembering the now defunct Dulwich Alliance’s efforts to seek a judicial review.
 

Donations totalled £28,250 and it would seem all that happened was lawyer’s advised against pursuing legal action.

LTNs were somewhat different, brought in during the pandemic and initiated by Govt. Borough-wide CPZ is very different and no mandate for it.

Always keep in mind the judge's summing up from the ULEZ lawfulness challenge and the robustness of the consultation (which will put more pressure on any consultations):

"While the consultation conducted was not in-depth, it was lawful."

 

The ULEZ consultation included a response to respond against the plans - the CPZ consultation doesn't which may not qualify as "in-depth" and I sense this is why Southwark are promising a second consultation for some CPZs. That is most likely in direct response to the judge's comments and the warning shot he fired across their bow.

Are these secondary 'consultations' the one and only forum where Nunhead residents will be able to say "no" to CPZ but where they have already been told that CPZ will be imposed on them anyway, whatever the outcome?

It is beyond cynical and I believe this was out of the mouth of that great champion of the people and socialist/marxist, Cllr McAsh. It is this attack on the democratic process that really gets me.

Talking about McAsh, are we any closer to hearing about missing LTN data?

    • 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
