    But if you look at the signage, it's clear that the 5mph only applies to motor vehicles. The sign at the entry point outlining park amenities etc simply says "please cycle responsibly". No mention of speed limit. The sign as you pass the vehicle bollards makes it clear that the instructions being given apply to motor vehicles who are entering a shared use space under permit. There are other signs at College Road gate itself mentioning parking, driving and a speed limit. No mention of bikes. And by the way, none of the vehicles I saw in there were even close to obeying that 5mph. 20ish was normal. Certainly I got overtaken as I was riding a Lime bike up there.

    Remember Southwark Labour's motto is: for the few, not the many!

    As ever, I am more than happy to clarify things for you @Earl Aelfheah. The signage is telling people who the users (pedestrians, dogs and cyclists) of the shared-use path are and the speed limit on that path (5mph). Vehicular movements are permitted only under special circumstances: permit holders and event specific movements - both of which are governed by separate usage rules (that allows them to use a shared use route) and require a specific application to the council to get authorisation. To be honest I am not sure what point you are trying to make - the 5mph limit applies to ALL vehicles - this is why the council refer to it on the entrance board at the Dulwich Village gate as a "5mph area" which is the term given to a private area where a local authority has applied a specific speed limit. As I said it is the same as Dulwich Estates making 10mph the speed limit on the shared-use path in front of Dulwich College per the image.

    Where is the upland road school street going to be?

    I went through the main switchboard and asked for parking permits.

    Hi, a bit late to this thread but I've having the same issue applying for a resident's parking permit for Upland Road. The letter I have from Southwark doesn't even have a phone number on it, so would anyone be able to share the one you used to get this sorted over the phone? Thanks in advance.

    yes, inside looks like a squeeze, we went in early summer and sat outside, really nice way to spend the evening and watch the world (and knackered commuters) go by. It's time that the tale was told. I'm afraid it was Love Dulwich, which has had some good mentions on here. We only had a mezze and a side dish but the mezze was pretty sad and the side dish wasn't as described on the menu. Maybe other things on offer were better but we've not been inclined to go back.

    This is exactly it; they choose what they want regardless of how it affects people; in this case it’s far too clear that it’s a personal preference rather than any balanced consideration

    Alternatively, another thread exposing the nonsense our council does in the name of active travel which actually makes problems worse. @Earl Aelfheah traffic trying to avoid congestion caused by the closure of one of the only East/West routes across Dulwich by using Underhill is very much to do with the Dulwich LTNs. Displacement impact travels a long way. Many posters on here have talked about the big increase in traffic along Underhill post LTNs. Are you using Ryedale/Dunstan's etc as a rat-run then? Absolutely. They seem to wilfully ignore constituent feedback to their own consultations but are happy to embrace the scribbled input from a few folks on one road. It's scandalous.

    I would like to reduce vehicle use, especially on the road on which I live

    Good luck with this - there have been several requests over the years by students needing to do infant observations. I was lucky when I did mine - way back in 1994 at a local nursery. Have you tried contacting the NCT to see if there are any local groups who would be willing to participate? As a mother of 2 - found the observation very informative - mine was a 2 year old child as my course stated a child under 3. Got my highest grade for this project so was very happy.

    Nothing like a good conspiracy eh? But yey! Another thread that shows yet again the issue is about many drivers continuing to make poor decisions about using their vehicles. The smartest decision is often not to use it at all and use other means to travel.
  17. Angelina
    I think the question is more how the council can make decisions unchallenged based on a very basic questionnaire and who their friends are
  18. Earl Aelfheah
    I'm not really taking a position on this proposal, just pointing out what may have lead to it. I can see the rationale. I guess we'll find out what impact it actually has when the trial starts.

    Happy birthday! I've just read a bunch of your reviews and really enjoyed it. You write Interestingly without being too ornate, and you manage to give a really good insight into the "vibe" of a place as well as the food. Totally agree with your review of Rocca - it's simple, great food in a friendly atmosphere at a completely reasonable price, esp considering the location.

    Hello, I am a 52-year old mother and an integrative counsellor who lives and works in West Dulwich, SE21. In mid January I am starting a new training in Parent Infant Psychotherapy (helping parents to bond with their babies), and a key component of the course is a 24-month infant observation. I’m looking for someone who will be giving birth ideally in January or February and who would allow me to observe their baby for one hour a week until the baby’s second birthday. The baby can be awake or asleep, playing, feeding, eating or interacting with carer/s and family members - whatever they normally do at that time. The purpose of the observation is to enable me to gain a thorough knowledge of very early infant development and to develop the capacity to maintain an observationally minded and non-judgemental attitude in my work as an infant-parent psychotherapist. I will provide enhanced DBS clearance and I’m happy to answer any questions. Please forward this email to anyone who might be interested, email me at [email protected] or call me on 07949716043. I would be extremely grateful for any leads. Many thanks, Millie Millie Burton, MBACP Integrative Counsellor [email protected] millieburton.com

    I keep my promises...had the Sweet & Sour Chicken. It was great - the best sweet and sour dish I've ever had. The chicken itself was good and the sauce seemed home made with real vegetables and pineapple - it is NOT the red sugar sauce goo you get elsewhere. The Korean fried chicken was very good but the sweet chili sauce was much more chili than sweet - just far too spicy for me. There is a honey something sauce that I will get next time. Egg fried veggie rice was good as a side. We also ordered the chicken katsu curry which was polished off so quickly I didn't get to taste it. It looked very good tho. SD is not like Magic Wok used to be - cheap and filling but junk food. (Don't get me wrong - I went often to Magic Wok). SD's food is much higher quality, real ingredients, chunky portions, freshly prepared. I'll be back, for sure.

    What does this mean then: Not according to the signage. If you know your Highway Code you know what that sign means. Because I take it to mean the signs prohibit permit holders, contractors or park staff from driving in the park. And you seemed to imply that means the speed limit doesn't apply to them. Perhaps you could clarify.

    R. and EA . Do you two ever agree on anything?
