Earl, I repeat...do you mean the temporary widening implemented with plastic bollards outside of Moxons?

 

By the way, looks like the council just completed their latest consultation...look for the results of which to be used to justify their next grand scheme.....;-) "You told us....."

 

....After years of, disastrously, using the LCC to single-handedly mould active travel policy across the borough Southwark Council tried a different approach and turned to Year 5 and 6 pupils in the hope of developing something more balanced, pragmatic and fairer to all transport modes.....;-)

So part of theCouncil's Streets for People Work is to visit local primary schools and do what exactly? How are the young children invited to make drawings and banners about the environment and pollution? Assuming this is a council funded exercise, I'd like to know more.
 

I am aware Cllr McAsh is a primary school teacher as his day job, but really this seems a bit desperate.

Remember they said that the mandate for Southwark-wide CPZs was a document that was born out of "research" conducted with a large proportion of school children and students in the north of Southwark.....so this could well be part of a "consultation" thay will determine what measures we get forced upon us in future ...;-)

Feel free to involve them but don't base future policy and decisions on their input alone (or use them to tip the balance in your favour) when you can't convince adults that live in the affected area to support your ideas...which Southwark Labour is doing and has done.

FM, then write to the major political parties as they have been visiting schools and kissing babies for generations.  Rocks, feel free to vote for another political party or if you want to influence Labour join the party, be active in your constituency and maybe stand as a councillor yourself.

Pester power ie kids understanding what is right and then pestering their parents is a useful thing.  Eg not letting engines idle outside schools, walk to school days and the like.

    • When I had a property with a basement there would often be a pool of water in the centre. I was told it was related to the fluctuating height of the water table in the area (se22) and would not become a problem and the only way to get rid of it would be to get the whole place completely tanked. 
    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
