Thanks, appreciate that.

When I cycled down there last night, only a small section south side of Bournemouth Road junction was blocked off. It was kind of nice to experience half of Rye Lane without traffic and made me think that pedestrianising south of Bournmouth Road, and re-routing buses down Bournemouth and back round to meet Peckham Rye could work. Would be a great spot for a proper market too.

Yeah - me too


Now if the contractors had left a cycle lan as opposed to leaving us fighting it out with pedestrians I'd feel cyclists finally have a place in the heart of the construction industry - especially in their motor vehicle role in causing death and serious injury to cyclists - about 50% of cases?

Having been a pedestrian "fighting it out" with cyclists through the Rye Lane roadworks the other day, my over riding feeling was get off you bike and push it for 100yrds.

I was not alone in having a small child with me and couldn't believe the callous & unthoughtful attitude of several cyclists who seemed to see it as a sport to weave around everyone regardless of anyone else - pretty disrespectful and ironic given how quickly most cyclists complain about the lack of respect their given with regard to their own safety.


Feel that some cyclists need to learn to treat others how they'd like to be treated themselves.

As I said buggie -


"Now if the contractors had left a cycle lane as opposed to leaving us fighting it out with pedestrians I'd feel cyclists finally have a place


So how about blaming the contractors not the cyclists?


Southwark KNOWS how many cyclists use that route in weekday am and pm - if not a lane why not a diversion?

Erm, how about not? If a cyclist doesn't have the sense to get off their bike & causes an accident by riding on the pavement then it's their fault, not the contractors (unsure where exactly you think s cycle lane could gone!) the road is closed to all traffic & if you don't want to use the diversion for all other wheeled traffic then go through on foot.


Am guessing you're not in PR as you're doing a pretty shocking job of sounding reasonable/endearing me to you.

    • This is a remarkable interpretation of history. Wikipedia (with more footnotes and citations than you could shake a shitty stick at sez: The austerity programme was initiated in 2010 by the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government. In his June 2010 budget speech, Osborne identified two goals. The first was that the structural current budget deficit would be eliminated to "achieve [a] cyclically-adjusted current balance by the end of the rolling, five-year forecast period". The second was that national debt as a percentage of GDP would fall. The government intended to achieve both of its goals through substantial reductions in public expenditure.[21] This was to be achieved by a combination of public spending cuts and tax increases amounting to £110 billion.[26] Between 2010 and 2013, the Coalition government said that it had reduced public spending by £14.3 billion compared with 2009–10.[27] Growth remained low, while unemployment rose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_government_austerity_programme From memory, last time around they were against the LTNs and competing with the Tories to pick up backlash votes - both failed. They had no counterproposals or ideas about how to manage congestion or pollution. This time around they're simply silent on the matter: https://www.southwark-libdems.org.uk/your-local-lib-dem-team/goosegreen Also, as we have seen from Mr Barber's comments on the new development on the old Jewsons yard, "leading campaigns to protect the character of East Dulwich and Goose Green" is code for "blocking new housing".
