Very worrying subject, but i hope someone would let me know about my dog walker around the general public.


Yesterday morning i was in Peckham Rye park carpark. My dog was on its lead and i was attempting to put her in the car when a large grey/black dog came hurling over. I looked over and saw a dog walker who i have seen many times with around 5 dogs all off lead running through the carpark.


I managed to get my dog into the car and then witnessed a medium sized black fluffy dog jump at the window of a moving car.


The walker did nothing and carried on towards the 1 o'clock club.


As i was leaving the car park, the black dog came running from the old toilet block, straight in front of my car. I stopped the car and called out to the guy that i could have hit his dog. He ignored me and just as i was about to go, the grey/black dog ran from the same area up to the drivers window.


By this stage i was pretty shaken and got out and called to him that i nearly killed 2 dogs because he did not have them on a lead.


He was clearly not going to take responsibility, or even listen to me. All he kept saying was "25 mph".


I sometimes wish my car could do 0 - 100 in less than a second, but in a carpark i think even 25mph is a bit optimistic.


You may know the guy ,italian accent maybe, 40'sh, sometimes walks with another guy with a collie.


Anyway, if you use this walker, beware, dogs should not be allowed to run through carparks , unless you are happy to take responsibilty for their death! :(

    • Arguably, as regards local needs for free(er) flowing traffic and some acknowledgement of expressed wishes he hasn't been. The 'active travel' and particularly the cycling lobby seems to have got far more of his attention than others. In that aspect, at least he would seem to be far more likely to be happy amongst the avowedly private-car hating Greens. A perfectly reasonable stance, of course, but one which certainly doesn't qualify as 'arguing for local needs'. He hasn't, equally, been very obviously supportive of those, his direct constituents I believe, who have been less than enthusiastic about Gala.
    • The problem with the first Southwark leadership election is that two proxy votes were cast, which is against Southwark's own party rules. So that is why the election was re-run. The controversy is in switching to an online as opposed to in person second election. James has causes he vehemently stands for, and it's fair enough if he thinks the local Labour Party is no longer for him. Government is not easy, and there are hard decisions to be made always. London councils have always had a better deal when it comes to central funding, and anyone who travels to the North frequently can see the stark difference. It's that failure to see the bigger picture that I find most surprising about his comments. Sure, as a local councillor he should be always arguing for local needs, but reform of central government funding to give more help to poorer regions has been a long held aim by this Labour Party, and especially since Brexit, where poorer regions benefitting from EU grants lost out.  As always, it will be the public that decides at the ballot box. 
    • I'd be interested to know how else you award points when deciding what party to vote for!
