Just a brief note to commend the fantastic actions of the staff and customers of Gail's

Dulwich Village this morning following a cyclist accident with a white van


Having witnessed the accident as I was sat outside, the fast response from the staff and some of the customers and other passers by and cyclists was outstanding


This was even more so as the ambulance took at least 20mins to turn up whilst the cyclist was lying in the middle of the road but the actions of several people to tend to him, try and keep him warm and to control the traffic flow was highly commendable. In particular, at least 2 female staff from Gail's, a blonde female customer and a male cyclist who managed the traffic flow at great risk to himself.


Unfortunately the police never turned up after 30mins despite my having called them several times as the traffic was mounting up and the situation was becoming ever more serious given this and the irritation of drivers who were stuck in a traffic jam but couldn't see the accident or appreciate its seriousness


Hopefully the cyclist is generally fine and not too badly injured although it was very hard to tell. The incident was very distressing and only the fast response actions of the public made this much less serious than it already was including avoiding further injury to others.

    • The link below has further information suggesting that the shop demolition and square redevelopment is funded separately from the station upgrades, so will go ahead:   https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/peckham-rye-stations-step-free-upgrade-has-been-put-on-hold-82360/ 
    • Last time the toilets were out of operation in the station M&S we were all told to go out and up to Sainsbo! Certainly didn't close (I'm not suggesting that's the thing the library should do!)
    • Was it the two proxy votes that had swung it for Cllr McAsh in the first round? Interesting that he lost by two votes in the second. One wonders what the next move for Cllr McAsh is and whether the infighting will continue between the various factions within Southwark Labour?
    • Has anything emerged as to how the reported misinterpretation of rules ruling out proxy votes occurred, or what the specific fault was?  I've found and looked through https://labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Labour-group-model-standing-orders-2023.pdf, which afaics seems to be a prime relevant document.  It allows for local council Labour groups making minor amendments to cater for their council's particular form of organisation.  I've not seen any _explicit_ mention of proxy voting in the model SOs document itself.  I'm  attaching my notes on it.     re_Labour-Group-Model-SOs.txt
