I can see that residents think, yes, a party would be nice and they organise it. Supposing there is a good turnout, you just know this will be spun as overwhelming support for Southwark's car/street plans.

It never crossed my mind. You do have a habit of trying to force your theories onto others and presenting them as facts. We had a closed street day here a few years ago. It was a success, fun, well attended and was never weaponised to push anything.

I don't think I have forced anything, just expressed an opinion and, also relayed what Southwark Council have said.

As for whether the Council spin their call for world car free day/ street closures for fun and play, let's wait and see. We've closed the street for a party for a number of years, just not before as a call to action by the Council.

You said-- you just know this will be spun as overwhelming support for Southwark's car/street plans--

I don't just know. It never crossed my mind until you made the assertion.

Are you going to have wardens on duty to clear the roads in the event of the police, fire brigade or ambulance service need to use the road to deal with any incident a resident may have????????

Organisers' responsibilities

  • a formal risk assessment is not required, but you should think about what could go wrong and plan accordingly; major things to consider are: fire, bad weather, electricity and vehicles entering, leaving and remaining within the area of your road closure
  • to close the road, barriers will be provided by FM Conway (subject to availability) during the week before the party
  • organisers are responsible for putting these into place to close the road at the agreed time
  • a clear route, at least 4 metres wide, must remain along the entire length of the road closure for emergency vehicle access

    • Well I did say I stand to be corrected! Fair enough, their website only seemed to list three branches. Perhaps it's a franchise model?  It's known as 'agglomeration' in economics Rookie error.
    • I didn't know there was a word for that — thanks!
    • This is just normal business behaviour. That's why there are so many coffee shops in ED and shops selling gifts and interiors stuff, clothes, restaurants.  If there's more than one business of a similar type then it can benefit all of them up to a saturation point and keep up quality. It's all sounding like many think Chango has made a malicious move when it actually sounds like it's owned by one guy who has a good business that has done well.   Anyway this is all great advertising for both empanada places. Very close by is the organic grocer who sells really good value and very tasty samosas and other Indian snacks which are also worth trying.
