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?

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
