Signed. I signed because I'm a bus user. I don't own a car. Closures like this play havoc with the buses and thus penalise the most disadvantaged members of society. We should be trying to encourage more people to use public transport - this works against that.

Self confessed tree hugger who occasionally uses a car (less and less).


Lived off Herne Hill Road many moons ago and know a rat run almost off the top of my head through logiebrogie juction. My daily cycle ride for more than a decade. Also MOT my car their, so 'imagine my suprise' when I found roads blocked. I guiltily drove a few yards down a now one way street to get the arch for my MOT.


A week or so later when cycling they'd blocked off the route altogether.


Returning the other way round following the no access signs I was getting further and further towards Brixton desparately trying to find route through to Coldharbour Lane.


So next time I needed to go to the garage, I looked it all up to do my rather circuitous route to find out cars were going down the previously blocked or barred routes. Totally confused.


Right, back to being a tree hugger - it is right to make things difficult for the car driver to encourage switching to cleaner transport. Just confused what this scheme is all about as it seems to be in few people's interest - anythng to do with the new 'Oval Quartier' near Myats Fields?


Interestingly bus patonage is being hit by other traffic chaos, mainly all the works for the new cycle routes. Following TfLs inevitable cuts is everything going in the wrong direction re gettng cars off the road?

    • So important to give them the best chance. You can buy bells on Amazon I’ve bought the cheap collars on amazon and find they fray quickly and aren’t great quality. The bells don’t really make a noise either. I’ve also bought a posh one from Pets Couture and it’s absolutely beautiful, got a proper bell and still looks like new after nearly a whole year! Definitely worth the money  
    • I completely agree. A cat with a bell comes into my garden and sits patiently beneath the bird feeders. Sometimes I hear the bell first and can chase him out before he gets there, and hopefully birds can also hear the bell (but only when he's actually moving). This has got worse since prickly rambling rose stems were removed from fences at the back of the garden. I'm looking at what cat deterrents I can put there. You have probably done this already, but if not you might want to look at ways you can try to stop the cats getting into your garden  in the first place? It's very difficult. I love both cats and birds, but  as you say, cats will be cats.
