This is a shame. May we enquire as to why? If you are happy to expand? I Didn't live here when I understand you were past Councillor for Goose Green area but had heard good things.

Does anyone know who the Tory Green or Lib Dem candidates are in any of the local wards other than Dulwich Village yet? eastdulwichrover Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Incidentally re environmentalists, the website > doesn't mention the Green Party at all. > > The reason I'm calling this a pro Tory website, is > because it is, in its content, a partisan pro Tory > website. > > It talks down the Lib Dem candidates who are also > running on an anti LTN slate and praises the Tory > candidates. It's not even subtle.

I was a regular of Ahmed and Callows guys there and now moved and only repeat what heard at time that alot were upset. The LTNs had gone in and all their sales dropped immediately, having gravestones with 'You'll be next' and 'Dead End' etc was far too close to the bone. Even if it was not intentional. One had one facing into their shop and at the time they and GMs guys were very upset. Glad it did not seem to be repeated last October. Ed_Moots sounds like you are close to the residents group? This overlap of residents and lobby groups is still worrying. Do you know what that ?500 went on, if not those Halloween decs?

Wasn't there a ruckus about this funding after the East Dulwich LTNs first went in and residents put up some pretty nasty Halloween decorations that took the proverbial out of the businesses on Melbourne Grove? 'You'll be dead next' outside their businesses etc and had some kind of party. It was pretty bad. Seem to recall EDSTN account tweeted Councillor Victoria Olisa went to the Halloween thing they threw. As if the advice to get local councillors on board with your LTNs by inviting them to street parties wasn't crass enough, it sounds like there is now a very good chance of overlap of lobby group members and residential groups that received money for street parties. Definitely Helen of CAD, (isn't she also EDSTN Twitter as well?) and lives on one of the roads is on record advising other lobby groups to use street parties to get local councillors on side and romance them over LTNs. Maybe one of them if on here they can tell us what they spent that ?500 on and if any of CAD and councillors attended?

Would also question the likelihood of Leemings' assertions that he didn't know the Clean Air Dulwich group very well, when in his own re-election statement he claims to have 'carefully and quietly built a network of campaigners and local resident groups to advocate for change in the community'. So given he claims to have been building his own lobby groups, it's hard to believe he had so very little contact with the main LTN lobbyists in the area, who are also on Dulwich Society Transport Sub Committees, and run several Twitter lobby groups, one was once in Mums for Lungs and is best pals with Goose Green Councillors James McAsh and Charlie Smith too. The conclusions that they green lit the ?6000 funding without any checks until Votethemout highlighted it on Twitter, forcing them to look at it again (and probably contacted by CAD themselves saying WTF!) then, in a flap refused it, has a lot of credence.
