Are PCN's being used as money-making exercises in London - the AA thinks so....

I don't know for how long you have followed the traffic threads but if you have then you may be aware of discussion and disagreement about a range of issues. It is all there if you care to read back.

 

There is far too much of it to go back and read it again.

Because you haven't quoted my post,  your post doesn't make it clear that you haven't  answered my  questions.

Are you not able to answer them?

I am also glad that you qualified misinformation with an 'apparent'. To be clear about that you would have had to follow the threads closely over the years (something you may have done, hence your wise qualification). There has been plenty of twisting and misinterpretation throughout by many concerned. There are some very well qualified individuals who have questioned and countered assertions by Earl et al over the years, but who finally left the threads because of continued obfuscation.

Well I am a transport professional, and whilst I wouldn't die in a ditch like @Earl Aelfheah in challenging @Rockets in the latter's profession of innocence (he was in a bus lane), generally I agree with much of what they post.

I'm also in support on what others say, Snowy, March and the like and I am particularly impressed in @exdulwicher posts.

Sue is right.  This thread is spent, it has no relevance any more.

    • It struck me last year that any dialogue with Gala themselves e.g. at the box-ticking "Community Engagement Sessions" is completely pointless, as they are just a business trying to do whatever is necessary to hold their event; the park is just a venue to them, a necessary facility, and they'll say anything to secure it. They don't care about it's welfare or upkeep, over and above making sure there's no complaints big enough to prevent them using it again. I've found that discussing issues with them has just led to them using that info to counteract that issue - effectively helping them strengthen their position. What I find frustrating is that the council, despite being the body that decides on this, and should be representing local residents, takes no active part in any discussions or presentations, so there's no way to engage with them apart from an online consultation which is clearly also a box ticking exercise, bearing in mind for the last two years the overwhelming majority (97% of respondents) objected to the event. Why are Gala running the community meetings? Why do Gala run the issue hotline? If the council really care about the park and the surrounding community, and still allow this type of event, they should be way more hands on with taking responsibility for it's running, not just handing it all over to a profit making company.  Sorry, probably tldr but so sad about the repeated negative impact on our (once beautiful & peaceful) park and just exasperated that there's so little that can be done to halt it. This is just the start, it WILL turn into another Brockwell Park, and Gala & the council just don't care.
    • We used these guys for our underfloor heating, their heating engineer Sam was excellent. Very reassuring and sorted it all out properly.
    • They’re convenient. They’re fun to ride. From ED, getting a Lime to Brixton and then jumping on the tube is probably the fastest way to get into central London. There’s a reason they’re  popular.
    • You must be a cynic as in a previous post you’ve asked someone to have a go on one of these monstrous lime bikes! Not everyone is able to walk, let alone ride a bike!
