Very grown up response. You seem to have trouble with adverbs. I think you mean where people care more.

Blah blah blah. This has nothing to do with East Dulwich. Take it somewhere else where people care less.

@Moondoox agree and please see my post on the cycling training thread where a (presumably motorist) is criticising cycle training. @Rockets I'd appreciate your views on the cycle training video, presumably you cycle/cycled with young family

forgive me for the massive necro, but in 5 years of cycling basically everywhere I have been knocked off, at speed, due to driver carelessness, twice. both were horrible. Cycling uptake in London is so blindingly obviously driven by segregated infrastructure, I have no idea how you believe this sort of John Forester bootstraps just-get-over-it nonsense.

You really haven't a clue @CPR Dave You appear to hate cyclists and are not looking at this with an open mind. You should welcome the work of Barnaby, other instructors, and government and local authorities for supporting cycle training. First six minutes First minute. Explanation of position including keeping a good distance from parked cars. At this point no vehicles coming in the other direction and Barnaby adopts quite a wide position in order to support his 7 year old son. Talk about ride buddies, ie more experienced cycling 1 min 30 seconds, a right turn from a major road with car coming in other direction. The two cyclists wait in the appropriate position and his son, due to age, does a slightly hooked turn. Would you really criticise a 7 year old who is confident enough to cycle on the road? How sad of you. 2 minutes, further discussion about the need to be in the centre of your lane/away from parked cars 2 mins 20 Barnaby doubles up in order to reduce the hazard to himself and his son, they move position to give cars plenty of space when passing in the other direction. 3 minutes 20 Barnaby talks about the benefits of doubling up as per rule 66 of the Highway Code: You can ride two abreast and it can be safer to do so, particularly in larger groups or when accompanying children or less experienced riders. 3 minutes 44, the two move position to the left to allow the patient driver following them to overtake, and as important thank them for their patience (again under rule 66: Be aware of drivers behind you and allow them to overtake (for example, by moving into single file or stopping) when you feel it is safe to let them do so) Move off road into the park Return to the road on the 6 minute where Barnaby talks about taking his son on the road, and asks viewers to comment. All excellent and positive advice. Why on earth can you not see this?

@James Barber From my casual observation you appear to take a poltical stance, ie that everything Southwark does under Labour control is wrong. @CPR Dave I doubt if you have posted anything positive on this forum

@alice why is it funny to smear academics? Do you agree with Trump about paracetamol? Or with Piers Corbyn about the Covid vaccine and that Climate Change is fake? I'm making a serious point. I look forward to hearing your take.

Aria is my go to plumber. Fixed a toilet leak for me at short notice. Reasonably priced and very professional.

Take it up with your councillors. And if you are not happy with their response, vote against them in May. I support anti car use measures, despite that some of the measures are a rather blunt instrument. It is only by making car use more difficult for those making unnecessary car journeys that we can reduce air pollution, road deaths, climate changing emissions etc. Ten years from now these arguments will seem as pointless as the arguments over drink driving or compulsory seatbelt wearing in the 70s and 80s. Unnecessary car use is a luxury for the minority that has a negative impact on the majority. But if you disagree, vote accordingly in May. Either way, vote. Use our democracy, as flawed as it may be, because democracy as we know it is under attack the world over. Use it or lose it.

Agreed but it seems very unlikely given their attitude to date that they will agree to amend anything until the ETO ultimately expires. They could have announced an ETO and said we will run the initial statutory six months consultation on the current layout and then consider next steps after six months. Instead the impression I have is this is permanent until July 27, not least cos they have no funding to change it. That semi permanence without prior consultation is the cause of the anger in my view. Anyhow I guess we wait to see what happens next.

They can do what they want. It's an upper limit. I think most hits you get on searching for ET(R)O will tell you that. "9(3) An experimental traffic order shall not continue in force for longer than 18 months." Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1984/27/part/I/crossheading/experimental-traffic-schemes

Hi I'm new to the area and am looking for a regular cleaner to come fortnightly to help with general cleaning and some laundry. Would like them to have references or be recommended. Thanks in advance!

Except it will be July 2027 before Dunstans Road has any hope of relief if I am right and the traffic engineers themselves seem to think I am... The biggest problem with what the council has done is the length of the proposed ETO. They are using the full period without prior consultation and knowing there will be material negative externalities. I hope they think again and at least shorten the initial trial to 6 months.

Well, we will find out because it’s a trial. Not a conspiracy, not a sinister plot by dark forces. A trial of a change in road layout. Implemented by traffic engineers who work for the council which we elected four years ago and can kick out on their arses in May, should we wish to do so.

I'm not sure the word "mysterious" actually means "completely impossible to identify". More that it's a mystery who they are. Anyone know anything about Jonathan Edwards or George Napier? The address given for them both is local - oh, actually, no, it's a flat above a coffee shop in Shoreditch. That's odd, you'd think they'd at least be South of the river. Never mind, who's the other Director - oh, "EDITION CAPITAL DIRECTORS LTD", who / which is also Director of 35 other companies, several of which are "In administration" or "Liquidated". No, that's not mysterious at all...
