Hmm not sure I agree. For instance I'm desperate to get rid of an office desk chair, which someone else (eg who has been forced to work from home) might be equally desperate for. A no contact collection should easily be possible, which combined with a sufficient clean of the item afterwards would make this very low risk and in keeping with the spirit of the current guidelines.

Update from Southwark Freecycle this morning:


'We would like to thank you for your understanding and being such caring members of Southwark freecycle. In line with some of the other freecycle/recycle groups we have decided to reopen our group but for now we will only allow posts where social distancing can be observed. We are saddened by the amount of items going to landfill but more so by the huge number losing their lives to this awful virus. To you all we say be careful and observe SOCIAL DISTANCING at all times.


Thank you


Your Moderating Team.'

I've noticed a lot of people are just leaving things outside their house for people to take during this pandemic. Fair enough, if people want it enough, theyll take it. If not, leave it where it is.

      I would suggest that anyone accidentally driving into the square is not paying due care and attention. If you disagree, I would be interested in what you consider a basic level of competence behind the wheel.

      Yes, but as I have said before I have nothing to do with their organisation (other than subscribing to their updates which I then post on here). Sorry to disappoint you. I await your answers....

      Hold on a minute, aren’t you the one posting regular updates from ‘One Dulwich’?

      No idea. Ask One Dulwich   No. There are two seperate issues. I believe some cover their plates deliberately (delivery drivers etc) and a number are confused by signage. I spend a lot of time in that area and have only ever seen one car drive through and it was an elderly couple who were incredibly confused (and subsequently very apologetic to an angry cyclist who was calling them all the names under the sun).   Some questions for you to answer now: 1) Which consultation are you referring to? 2) Did you agree with the council's insistence on keeping the junction closed to emergency vehicles despite the emergency services telling them it was delaying response times?   3) At a time of funding crisis do you think £1.5m is a good spend to redesign a junction and those redesigns: - potentially increase emergency vehicle response times - do nothing to stop persistent number plate covering offenders - do nothing to slow cyclists at a pedestrian area
