No but that was the suggestion. Given your role as part of the cycle lobby are you aware of any cycleways that have been paused in Southwark?

 

I can assure you I didn't read it in a One Dulwich post or Tory leaflet and nor am I making it up. 

 

Glad you are acknowledging that the council could well have had to reign back certain projects because their revenue projection changed due to their inability to roll-out borough-wide CPZs. They clearly thought the CPZ was a shoe-in because they signed the contract with APCOA on the basis of them rolling it out - again another item that will be causing a deficit elsewhere now it isn't recouping the revenue.

 

0/10 for deflection tactics Rockets.   Also noting still no source...

That's a good point Trinidad 

Roads across the Borough seem to have the worst potholes in years despite it being a mild winter so the council can't blame it on freezing and thawing damage. 

Why hasn't the extra cash generated through CPZs and LTNs been used to repair the roads? 

With the amount of revenue raised, which should be reserved for road based projects, one would almost expect tje streets to be paved with gold 🤣 

Therefore why are the potholes worse thos year which is a danger for motorists and cyclists alike ? 

Not just roads but pavements too. Paving on NX already looking shabby and in places a trip hazard; ditto other local streets. Could some of that money be used for maintenance of street trees? Perhaps that is already happening? The other thought is fly-tipping on street corners?

Ah - i see you've gone from trying to deflect with word twisting, to just deflecting with some kind of weird attempt at belittling. 

 

Its ok - just post the source of the 'thing that you heard that definitely wasn't from a crank group or some kind of desperate leaflet from the local unelected Tories.

Going back to the question on potholes and why fines / fees raised via schemes like CPZs or LTNs aren't being used to fix them, this article was on the bbc today: 

BBC News - Potholes: Roads in England and Wales at 'breaking point'
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-68598875

Question is where is all the money going, obviously not fixing potholes with it. 🤔

    • Apparently there was a motorcade on Lordship lane about 40 mins ago. Did anyone see it? Two blacked out 4X4, with police convoy. I'm intrigued...
    • Harrow.  I wish that I had done more before Covid, including putting my name forward as an executor and seeking power of attorney.  I performed the latter for my later mother, and with no executor named in her will I did probate and executed her will, all very straightforward as financial affairs all in order particularly due to the work of my sister who managed our mother's accounts. But from 2020 onward it was difficult to tell someone who was very frail she needed to change her will etc. There's a further tail about the 'friend' of my aunt who gets around 90% of the estate, and some manipulation of my aunt's finances by this friend.  Police wont get out of bed for a million or so for fraud cases so didn't go to them.
    • Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.
