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.

Hi, where are you based?

Hello, I’m currently looking to buy Jellycat soft toys and LEGO sets for my children. If you have any available for sale, please feel free to message me. Thank you!

I'm putting words in your mouth by suggesting you dismiss the significant body of peer reviewed academic research into LTNs as 'activist'?... whist you continue to say 'they' are activist researchers? Perhaps you could clarify who 'they' are? Is it just Professor Anna Goodman, or are there others you are claiming to be falsifying research findings, and repeatedly smuggling it past reviewers and academic publishers? What about the many studies she has had no involvement in? And I assume you can point to other high quality research that backs up your assertions? Or is your position that we should consider your opinion as less biased than published, peer reviewed research, undertaken by multiple academic experts? And of course, police data, electronic vehicle counts, air quality monitoring data - that's all been somehow corrupted by council interference? I think you over estimate both their reach and competence. It's tin foil hat stuff.

Useful link, thanks. I see that neither of the Dulwich Hill councillors are standing again but one of the new Labour candidates for DH recently left the Lib Dems… The Greens are led by someone who left the Lib Dems and full of people who left Labour. Reform is full of those who left the Tories. And the Tories are full of those who left our planet some time ago. Confused? You will be!

Looks like both our current Dulwich Hill councillors are not restanding .

I'm sorry to learn that though Liam does seems well qualified. Hopefully with McAsh gone, Southwark Labour will turn to Charlie to fill the gap.

And what's the old saying about "if you can't do the time, don't do the crime". Maybe she should have thought of the potential consequences before acting the way she did. And this is the point why it became such a big story - because it was a "gotcha" - a "man bites dog story" - something that you would not expect from an supposedly impartial academic. The reason lots of media publications covered it - and it wasn't just the Mail (in fact, not surprisingly, the only publication that didn't seem to cover it was the Guardian) was because of exactly that - it was a good story for clicks. Ha ha, and are you honestly telling us if you had some gotcha on One Dulwich you wouldn't be amplifying it.....honestly....I believe you, millions would not... And I remind you, you took annoyance when I pointed out the awards the Dulwich Society transport committee sub committee chair had won for active travel campaigning.....all in the public domain yet you tried to claim it was an "outing". What must really grate is that people still talk about these things and you haven't been able to douse the flames....in fact, there are new fires appearing everywhere...that must really hurt.

As I understand it Charlie Smith did put himself forward for selection in GG but Labour members chose someone else to represent them, Liam McGrath https://southwarklabour.com/our-candidates/ It'll be interesting to see if there are other defections - surely the Greens want a drip, drip, drip of news from now to May suggesting the momentum is with them.

@DulvilleRes, No idea about Daily Mail article- though your simplistic and facile attempt to paint anyone that objects to some of Labour's road and traffic management interventions as 'must be a right wing-Reform-loving-Daily Mail- reader, is now looking a bit desperate. Word can also spread locally about questionable actions. Given the shopkeeper had consented for the leaflet to be displayed on their property, I doubt they were too impressed.
