  1. why do I think it is one and the same person? 😉
  2. But of course 🙂
  3. Someone is having a tantrum 🙂
  4. We can create as many threads as we like - it's a free country after all 🙂
  5. Why does it bother you?
  6. And what about it? So if I post about flowers on a thread about vegetables - what happens? You can always talk to Admin if you see anything untoward and examples please?
  7. and?
  8. This is a reply to ExDulwicher post. I mean the community where almost 70% of those taking part in two consultations (what a waste of paper and other resources btw) said 'no' to ltn. How can local elections reflect this? Impossible. People have a thousand and one problems to solve: no money for food, for rent, exorbitant mortgage rates and train fares; broken NHS, broken dental help - this goes on and on and on etc. These things will always come first.
  9. Great news the groups across London are getting together. Hopefully a chance for more scrutiny and regulations instead of councils doing whatever they want, ignoring local communities.
  10. Disappointing to see H&B coming to LL. Would be great to have 'no packaging' shop instead
  11. I am very grateful to what One Dulwich - the real one not the troll on here - do for the local community and ordinary people who live on main / boundary roads, are elderly, disabled, unable to cycle, not able to afford to simply move somewhere better. @Administrator isn't this too much?
  12. "You are a dispicable individual" - guessing this supposed to be "despicable". @Administrator not sure how comment like this helps any conversation
  13. Campaign Update | 12 Jan Dulwich Village junction: still no access for emergency vehicles Access through the junction for emergency vehicles is vital for the Dulwich area as a whole. In February 2024, the London Ambulance Service agreed to a trial closure of Calton Avenue. Five months after the bollard went in, this is still blocked. Court Lane, the other arm of the junction, is also still blocked, despite promises that it would be reopened once the building work had finished. We have emailed highways@southwark.gov.uk to ask why the delay continues – please do the same. Southwark report shows Dulwich LTN fines are vital income boost Southwark’s Parking Annual Monitoring Report 2023-24 makes interesting reading. (The word ‘parking’ is confusing here as the report also covers the Moving Traffic PCNs – or Penalty Charge Notices – that include LTN fines.) The report shows a 500% increase in Moving Traffic PCNs issued in Southwark in 2023-24 compared with 2019-20, the last year before the Dulwich LTNs were introduced. Overall, Southwark made an estimated £8 million from nearly 140,000 Moving Traffic PCNs across the borough in 2023-24. The report doesn’t break down its figures by ward or area, but we know from a recent FOI that the ANPR cameras in Dulwich Village led to 35,621 PCNs being issued in 2023, and 16,963 between January and August 2024, so Dulwich fines are making a significant contribution to the borough total. Southwark says that any surplus after costs is reinvested in the highway network (see ‘expenditure description’ in table 7, including more than £6 million in ‘Environment reserve’). However, this reinvested extra cash means that Southwark needs to spend less from central funds. In other words, the Dulwich LTNs are an important revenue generator. Is this perhaps the reason why Southwark is so reluctant to make the signage for the LTNs less confusing? Legal challenge against LTN in West Dulwich The West Dulwich Action Group are taking legal action in the High Court against Lambeth’s LTN. The hearing is on 12 February. For more information, and to support them financially, go to https://gofund.me/7d97511f. Road sign at Dulwich Village junction replaced Finally, one small piece of good news: the Court Lane road sign on the lamppost outside 1 Court Lane has been replaced after the last one went missing during the building works. Thanks to Southwark’s Principal Lighting Engineer for making this happen. Best wishes for 2025, The One Dulwich Team
  14. Few more ( and more) million of pounds - taxpayer money - and it will be sorted
  15. Walking from Guy's Cancer Centre to Waterlo via Newcomen Rd - crossing Borough High St then Union Street and The Cut - is a great route to experience daily near misses, especially if the weather is nice
  16. The traffic has always been horrendous around Forest Hill but with the so- called ltns, traffic calming measures and other such nonsense, every time thames water dig a hole in the ground (almost weekly) or something else goes wrong, it is a complete mayhem
  17. Pretty much
  18. High time to reform Dulwich Estate!
  19. I do not drive, I do not have a car, never have owned one. I cycle but not in London. I walk a lot. I am sick and tired of the cycle lobby bullying everyone into their own tiny tiny world. @DulvilleRes "This local forum feels like it is being subverted by culture war nonsense of dubious political origin.' - what does this mean?
  20. On a second thought: is this what we get for millions of pounds spent on the area the size of my living room - and I live in a very small flat? Five half-dead plants and the slabs from India? After thousands and thousands of pounds already wasted on the consultations (including wasting precious paper (=trees) to produce the consultation leaflets - the outcome of which were then ignored by Southwark council, while the residents clearly said they do not want the LTNs - we are now told to lump it and waste even more money on the vanity square?
  21. Hello concrete 🙂
