One (part of) Dulwich

[OutOfFocus]

Can someone please explain who "one Dulwich" are?

[Spartacus]

I have no names for you, as I'm neither a member or signed up support, but a quick search will allow you to ask them directly

Richard Aldwinkle is always referred to as their spokesperson in press pieces. These are some of his distasteful tweets.

Well worth signing up to become a "supporter" as they send their updates and often shed light on things the council and their supporters would rather didn't get too much attention!

I feel like I need a 'Rory Stewart' style quick explanation on the debate around Dulwich LTN. Would anyone have any pointers to a balanced summary?

I'm moving to the village soon and I feel like I need to understand this better given the strength of sentiment expressed on some of these threads. Any help appreciated!

I tried to engage one Dulwich by email.  They sent me a lot of flannel but were not prepared to discuss things.  I clearly will not be joining.  I support groups  that campaign to improve the environment, our health and well being etc not single issue groups who want to maintain the status quo.

Doesn't sound too dissimilar to my engagements with the council!

Zero chance of a balanced summary in a single place I am afraid - read anything by Peter Walker in the Guardian on the matter, then read anything in the Daily Mail on the matter and plot a course for somewhere between the two and there you shall find the truth!

You probably don't need to understand it better!!

But basically you used to be able to drive up and down Court lane and Calton Avenue across the Dulwich village junction with gay abandon and now you can't because that part of junction is now blocked by multicoloured woodwork and planters.  So Dulwich village is split in half for vehicles and you have to drive a long round to get from one side to other.  Some people (the majority who responded to Southwark's seemingly flawed consultation) hate this, especially those living on roads to which the through traffic has been displaced and those who have to drive alot further to get from one side of DV to the other and some people like it.  The debate will go on forever without a happy ending for some of the people.  That's it really 🤔

I enjoy cycling with gay abandon down Court Lane, across Dulwich Village and onto Herne Hill.  I sometimes put my feet up on the beach too.

One of the many, many beaches around the world you have flown to?
