If you are seeking to get a CPZ (parking stress discussion), we found the best way was to get a large petition organised (in excess of I think 300 names is required) which sets out the locals want a CPZ and acknowledge the cost of ?125 per year to pay for it. This can be presented at the community council, who in response will usually order a CPZ consultation.


We did this to great effect in the Toast Rack as the consultation has led to a recommendation for implementation of a CPZ.

Hi James - wonder if you can help? We live on Melbourne Gr in ED and back onto the old hospital site. As you know, work has begun clearing the massive amount of rubble away. The only slight issue we have is that there is a generator being left on round the clock, which is really audible when we're trying to sleep. I can't see any lights being used overnight, so not sure what purpose it serves. Can you investigate? Many thanks. Andy

Hello Cllr Barber


I notice there has been an effort to clear abandoned and wrecked bicycles from public cycle stands in the local area. Please add the one outside 45, Upland road, which has been there for many many months to the list.


Thanks for this initiative

Where's the toast rack?

Over there, behind the cornflakes...or the series of long straight roads running off Peckham Road - Bushey Hill, Crofton, Shenley, Talfourd - also the ones running off Shenley, Linell, Oswyth etc. Estate agent coinage I believe - there's a very trendy area next to Wandsworth Common known as the toastrack, so I guess they thought they'd import it.

Any feedback on this, James? The other thread is now saying it's been reported in the press that the sorting office is to close. It will be a great loss to the area if this is allowed to happen.

Hi James,


Not sure if this question has been asked already, but do you know when Arriva will be replacing its absurdly noisy and dirty 176 fleet? I note that the 363 and 185 have recently been upgraded to Enviro400s and was wondering if there we any plans to replace the current 176 buses with something similar?

I can't agree more, I saw an 176 going down the street yesterday and it sounded like it was mechanically ill. The engine was very loud while trying to go down LL.

James.

State of pavement outside new proposed Vets. This has been left in an appalling condition by the contractor's will this be left for the council to put right or can we get the contractor's back to do it correctly thus saving the tax payer's money.

Hi bob,

Will get onto that pavement being resolve - have reported it. Thanks.


Hi Nigello, geobz, Ampersand,

I looked into this last summer - this was first raised on this thread several years ago. WE had agreement then for N176 to use quieter buses but that left daytime...

The 176 and N176 bus routes are currently in a tendering process. Tenders had to be retuned 17 Jan and a decision is expected shortly in March. The new contract starts 11 November and I've been told will include new buses which should be EURO6 compliant and much quieter.

James, Southwark's planning map seems to be out of action. Do you have any info on this?

MarkT

Mark ,that map can be a bit tempremental but if you're quick you might catch it as it seems ok at the moment .

    • Not really since the first world war, and mainly in the sense then of 'getting a Blighty one' meaning a wound so serious you had to be sent home. I seriously doubt if one school child in 100 now would know what Blighty meant if the word was presented on its own with no context.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.
