What is the latest on the Southwark Road Closure petition? I cannot now seem to get the links that were working to direct to the right information, instead they are linking to a Southwark minutes and meetings, which is very odd. Can someone post up a link that works and latest count please?

Wow, is that really true? Presumably Melbourne residents doing this were probably against CPZ? Cannot believe anyone would vote in all day CPZ and then go and park for free in a neighbouring non CPZ street. However, if this is happening in any numbers it makes you wonder if it was a majority who wanted CPZ in Melbourne Grove?

Perfect.

Seems plausible enough.

Other large sectionS of the park are given over for recreational use by children, parents and younger people: football, other sports, adventure playground, large children?s playground and you?d begrudge one tiny area being set aside for those, probably older, who want something more sedate? Your provocative use of language indicates you are trolling again but just in case you are really serious then think again.

Yes, perhaps one or a handful of residents supported by pro CPZ campaigners from outside the area. My only point is that the ?interference? of outsiders charge cuts both ways.

Indeed, a final say like should the hours be time limited or all day but the fact that there will be CPZ at all is a result of all stages of consultation.

Not sure that is the case and if it was why would the extremely well informed SC urge members outside of borough consultation areas to get involved and submit?

Well, hitherto, consultations in favour of CPZ have been bulked out by cyclists well out of the area. Southwark cyclists and LCC actively encourage their members to participate in CPZ consultations much further afield.

Is it meant to go direct to petition?

Yes, the planters have had a major, negative impact on traffic on main routes and if this is now also hindering emergency services that is very worrying.

I think you know that is not what I was alluding to.

If they can and really want to they will. At the moment there are other things to consider. There has to be balance.

Great. People who are able may well continue and more who are genuinely able to cycle everywhere may well start, however, for now, I am in favour of overturning street closures.

The ambulance is past the red light but still being held up.

82 now

54 already, think those numbers will be up in no time.

Than you!

500 signatures needed.
