  1. I am thinking this is just a desert of whiteness - until you get to the very out of place Scots pines. Who on earth thought they would look nice? Someone yesterday said it was a nod to climate change, but if it is, surely we should have had palms planted there? In my view this space will be used by waiting parents for the schools to come out, and by the look of it at other times in the day, it is deserted. There is no hope for the shops.
  2. It seems as if Dulvillres hasn't got the urge to explain their post to us all. They get at us, but we can't get to them. Perhaps they are doing research for the DS committee no one can get on to. Or something.
  3. Dulvillres has the inside story, so do tell all instead of pussyfooting around.
  4. Strangely enough, the rump of those not at the Dulwich Arts Society Lecture did not feel they could speak for others - you fail to see this was a disparate group with people who did not know each other. I'm told they explained to the Chair they could not attend at a two day notice, and so they didn't go! As for hostility, look at yourself Dulvilleres! And the legal time for the SGM was in March 28 days after it was requested. Rules don't seem to matter to the Chair in that matter. I know the pub room was free so the only costs were ones made up by the Chair. By the way, the One Dulwich group are not funded by anyone.
  5. Yes old people can't read their smart phone screens. Nor can they work out undemocratic changes to what is basically a trees, gardens and wildlife group. So the Trustees had to help them by excluding them. There there dear. This was largely to protect the anonymous members of the new Transport Committee as they pick and choose who to listen to. And who is the Chair of the committee? <removed name>. Was she huddling in anonymity down at the front? Just asking. I forgot to say that the voting slips tiold all the old people what to do - just like pages of instructions which arrived a few weeks ago. Yes the voting slips had an instruction in bold telling the voters to vote against all the SGM motions, just to make sure the old dears didn't get muddled.
  6. I suspect the sequel to be more Herne Hill.
  7. I reckon we should all ask why they want so much unchallengeable control? I belonged to it years ago and I'm not sure why I wasted a tenner a year.
  8. What rubbish. Inertia and a very hard knocking up of real Labour supporters.
  9. I have had it for months. It is great to have a download speed of 400+ after BT gave me 11 at the most. For the first year you are discounted and then for my band it costs £28. Any difficulties you call the helpline and it is sorted remotely - I haven't had problems however.
  10. The complete rubbish spouted at the first consultation meeting at Dulwich Library was an insult to our intelligence. (McCash wants to use parking places for parklets by the way - lovely seating that is backing on to a road, has rubbish and dope paraphernalia left in it - nice outside your house. And a few months ago I was told by the woman who is local chair of Police panel that crack apparatus was found by the Burial Ground.) CPZs are an inevitable move to get you from using your car and that is the most anti-social behaviour on behalf of the council who give not one jot about anyone living in non urban areas like Dulwich Village and West Dulwich south of the South Circular. We all have to travel to decent food shops and some of us are too old to walk and carry.
  11. Catherine Rose of course. And don't forget in the early Our Healthy Streets plan for Eynella, they wanted to close the junction and make it people friendly.
  12. And Rahx3 in case you can't/won't click through to it here is that it says on Page 6 of TFL's report: Root Cause of Delays Herne Hill is the best logical alternate route for northbound drivers who are otherwise unable to travel through Dulwich Village This has caused increased flows through this section of network resulting in increased congestion. Pretty compelling huh? I wonder how the councillors and pro-LTN lobby are going to try and spin their way out of that one....... Thanks Rockets, that's helpful. I'm pretty dubious of Southwark News reports on LTNs, as they've run a campaign against them that's included very misleading, sometimes false reporting. It's a shame that they quote the report out of context, and don't link to it, but not that surprising perhaps. Reading the report, it sounds as though the issues with increased bus times referred to in the Southwark News headline were prior to the changes Southwark put in place in March. Although it does sound that Croxted road Northbound (whilst improving), may still be experiencing increased traffic. So perhaps the headline ought to be - a very successful traffic reduction scheme isn't 100% perfect and there continues to be monitoring and some adjustments being made. That is pretty shocking. My friend who lives on Croxted Road is pretty adamant that your explanation is wrong. The traffic is as bad as it has been since the LTN system was put in, and she should know I think. The decreased timings have made it worse. Clearly no problems during the school holidays, however.
  13. Sorry I haven't got the hang of this yet - I was trying to reply to Spartacus!
  14. What has that to do with Southwark? Nothing!
  15. The glut of people walking about in yellow high viz taking numberplates of legally parked cars made me wonder if Southwark are going to match the plates with DVLA details which they clearly have access to. Then leading to parking restrictions of some kind on these roads where the checkers have been seen.
