Another hit and run (damage only) on Barry Road

Last night somebody crashed into my car parked on Barry Road, and drove off. It was parked pretty much opposite Halliwell Court, between the junctions of Upland and Underhill Roads. It must have made a pretty loud noise, judging by the damage, so on the off chnace anybody heard or saw anything I'd be very grateful if you could get in touch.

Could it have been a bus? If so, there's a small chance if you can narrow the timeframe down a bit of there being some

CCTV.


Anyway, sorry to hear about this. As things stand, the penalty for stopping, owning up and repairing the damage you cause is far greater than the penalty on the vanishingly slim chance that you are caught. Hit and runs are positively incentivised.

    • Okay Earl, of those 'consulted' how many voices were in favour of the junction and how many against? Were there more responses in favour or more against? This local junction change is being driven by Southwark Labour Councillors- not as you assert by Central Govt. Also, if consultations are so irrelevant as indicators of meaningful local support in the way you seem to imply, why do organisations like Southwark Cyclists constantly ask their members to respond to all and any consultation on LTN's and CPZ's?  
    • You could apply the same argument to any kind of penalty as an effective deterrent.  Better than doing nothing. 
    • Check the link I provided above. It’s gives a very full account of where the push for LTNs came from, (in brief, central government). The consultation did not show that the majority of local residents were against the LTN. Not for the first time, you’ve confused a ‘consultation’ with a ‘referendum’. The outcome of local elections (which many opposed to LTNs excitedly promoted as a referendum on the scheme), suggested they are actually quite popular. All the polling on LTNs generally, also shows majority support across London.
    • Rockets said: "Perhaps you should be asking who is lobbying the council to close the junction or parts of it or why the council is happy to waste so much of our money on it - who are they representing as even their own consultation demonstrated they did not have support from the local community for the measures? The results showed the majority of local residents were against the measure...but they are going ahead with them anyway" This.
