Give me £1.5m and I will give it a crack but clearly given my position as someone who has voiced strong anti-LTN views I am not sure anyone would consider it impartial….oh, but hang on…..;-)

Have you thought of writing your own paper demonstrating this? https://www.westminster.ac.uk/news/university-of-westminster-to-lead-major-ps15m-new-study-on-low-traffic-neighbourhoods-in-london

The fact that some people in England seem to be narrowly focussed on the eejit that is mandelson whilst ignoring the real villains in the whole Epstein thing is… revealing and those villains are lauded and unaffected

How profound. You should post more often.

Maybe they have a lot of children arriving early for breakfast club? The school street timings should match up with when children are arriving / leaving school.

I don't understand why closure has to be from 7.45 am. I live in a school street and the operating hours are: 8:30 AM to 9:15 AM and 3:00 PM to 3:45 PM, Monday to Friday during term time

Highly recommended. Thank you Steve.

Southwark in the past have not been proactive in collecting debts =.

Obviously a Sunday Lunch at £45 can only be considered a treat for a special occasion. With all the extras that Suzanne mentioned and classed as private dining for the odd anniversary lunch is probably ok. The hospitality business is being hit hard - we used to have a takeaway meal every 2- 3 weeks, but our local Chinese shut down a few months ago and we have not got round to finding another within walking distance. Had Fish and Chips from Joseph's a couple of weeks ago as was too tired to cook.

I think the moral of this story is: "hell hath no fury like a politician scorned"

Hurrah, at last....please, please, please stop doing it! No, not tin foil hat stuff but it is how it is presented that matters. And you know this better than anyone as you fell for the council "majority support for Dulwich Village LTN" and repeated it here as some sort of proof. That stat was misleading propaganda as the real stat on support (or not in this case) was buried in the report and nowhere near the council infographic or correspondence on it - the use of that stat shows just how biased councils and others are when the desperately want the public to believe something. You have to admit if they had put the 80% of people don't support the measures the mood board of their report would have been very, very different. A bit like activist research, it's often what doesn't make the editors cuts that is most telling. I dunno, maybe, for instance, anyone who has been doing research on the basis of the £1.5m awarded to University of Westminster, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), Cambridge University or Imperial College London to research LTNs who may have had roles within cycle lobby or other activist groups... I mean when they got the funding for the "impartial" research Dr Aldred referred to LTN interventions as "innovative" and it's clear what the focus of their conclusions in the reports were going to be before the research had actually started..... Talking about the funding and new research, Professor Aldred said: “It is exciting to be able to study these innovative but under-researched interventions in much more depth than has previously been possible. For instance, we will extend our previous research by examining not just impacts on overall levels of walking and cycling, but also any changes in who walks and cycles, for instance gender balance. This award also means that we can look in detail at local people’s experiences, and how these experiences may change over time. Another focus will be examining changes over time in congestion levels on boundary roads and in the experiences of residents living on boundary roads, areas where more research is needed.”

Hi, if you still need it done I have a workshop with a table saw. I can happily do it for nothing. How big is it and what do you need done specifically?

Yes I agree, that's why I specifically said "re the wildlife"!

Maggie Browning a DH councillor recently had a baby and I believe plans to return to work. I think that to have the additional stress of being a councillor, a new mother and having a job is a good reason for not standing again. Maggie was one of the few labour councillors who were approachable, acted on your behalf in regards to several concerns and appeared at various public events i.e Police SNT Meetings, community events etc. Have met one of the new prospective councillors and introduced her to various community based organisations.
