Page 36 shows impact of traffic flow on Underhill (increase 6% to Sep 21). Southwark didn’t initially measure traffic here but did do so in the last two traffic measurement exercises in the area following feedback from residents. It was busy before LTN too - traffic count is on page 36 as well. I would have to disagree with Malumbu regarding Underhill not being busy. The report further states that traffic overall across Southwark had reduced compared to pre Covid levels (for example by 12% comparing march 2019 with march 2021 so an increase in Underhill is contrary to this). https://services.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/77423/Main-monitoring-report_Dulwich-Streetspace_Sept-2021.pdf I think the problem is not helped by Sat nav’s routing traffic down Underhill to avoid the traffic lights by the junction Lordship Lane/ south circular (and they do route traffic down Ryedale too) Here is another report with some references to traffic at Underhill pre Covid (page 8 https://services.southwark.gov./assets/attach/10604/What-You-Told-Us.pdf And this one states further monitoring will be carried out (not sure if it ever was) - see last page https://services.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/77420/Infographic-report_Dulwich-Streetspace_Sept-2021.pdf

@ianr maybe the better question you should be asking is why the council did no monitoring of Underhill despite it being a clear displacement route. They monitored the majority of others. Lots of people asked around the time of the LTNs why nothing on Underhill and if I remember rightly Maggie Browning said there were plans to but they never materialised. It was so clear to everyone who lived around there what was happening.

Who made the request and when?

Not everyone is delighted. This campaign was launched without any consultation with people in Croxted Road, or those wanting to travel there eg to the two schools and two nurseries. An initial assertion that the 201 would be “no loss to the residents of Croxted Road” was entirely untrue and unfounded — consequently many people will have signed the petition not realising that their support was based on misleading information. If you fall into that category please consider asking the campaigners to remove your signature from the petition. Residents of Croxted are vehement in their objections to this proposed re-route and their representatives made contact with the petitioners. That particular assertion was subsequently removed but other inaccuracies remain, including suggestions that the no 201 “duplicates” the no 3, whereas they are quite distinct routes. The 201 is very much valued in its current form. Fair enough to campaign for a better bus service - but why at the expense of a neighbouring community?

You've posted on a PUBLIC forum, you can't really dictate how folks respond, however unhelpfully!

Hi, need an initial quote with possible further work coming up. Thank you, Vee Nunhead Lane

It is indeed for lessons - young people start to come in around 8. I swear there used to be a 7 and an 8. Now it’s just 7, there’s no spreading out over the two hours.

Still looking

Yes it's leisure financed by people's gym subscriptions and taxpayers. It's not magicked out of thin air. So it's important that the resource is allocated efficiently. . It's also not leisure for the people working there for whom it's presumably a pain to deal with an overcrowded pool.

Efficiency? It’s LEISURE TIME! Fine if you want to lanyard up and go full spreadsheet when you fancy a bit of a paddle, but that’s not really the best MO when speaking of a council-funded recreation centre.

Having turn up and swim isn't efficient. Either they're too packed and everyone loses, or there are vacancies which people aren't aware of because there's no booking system.

My B shaped bath has developed cracks and I would like to fit an identical one - there is a concealed shower mixer. It looks like this: https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/b-shaped-shower-bath-1700mm-inc-curved-screen-with-rail-acrylic-panel?sku=B1700CSRRH&preSelected=true Please contact me via message

Or have both special sessions and turn-up-and-swim sessions (with the emphasis on the latter, because that’s the most accessible and historically and socially acceptable way of doing things, which was only jettisoned because of the effects of a pandemic.
