Curiously the second worst meal I've ever had in my life was at Franklins - bones in the raw rabbit terrine, frozen steak reheated and instant coffee (worst ever was at Chez Bruce!)..... I think by slating both Franklins and Chez Bruce in a single sentence you have demonstrated that your view on restaurants should be treated with real caution. Unless, of course this was a (well-disguised) comedy message. In any event I am sure Tim, Rod and the team will be delighted to be ranked over Chez Bruce!

Thanks for the update James. It seems that your comments reflect the institutional bias that has been a source of great frustration for many, with the tacit acceptance that LTNs are preferable (often based on highly contentious interpretation data like Waltham Forest). The bias is fuelled by the pre-determined agenda of the council (as evidenced by minutes of council meetings) and the fact that many of the pro-LTN groups are funded by Southwark Council and the Mayor?s office. Please can you step back from this approach and try to represent your constituents impartially rather than on party lines / biased pressure group inputs. Thanks!

What a shame the food was fantastic and it had a nice ambiance. Good that they are not giving up on the space, good luck to them!

I note this 100 Dulwich account was opened yesterday...just to attack what appears to be a bona fide local residents group???

James can you please urgently look into the huge amount of congestion caused by the closure of roads in Dulwich Village (which as noted above is based on dodgy data...now where did I see that happen before...CPZ you say?). During every afternoon last week congestion stretched down Lordship Lane from the junction with the south circular almost to Townley Road and backed traffic up down Barry Road. I have lived here 15 years and it has never been like this. This is causing significant pollution across a large area of our neighbourhood and wastes huge amounts of time on a cumulative basis. It is also causing additional concerns to local businesses in east Dulwich who fear a further disincentive to potential customers visiting the area on top of the impact of COVID-19 and the CPZ. All for the sake of a 20 square yard space... For once can you please look past the desires of Richard Livingstone and the politburo in Tooley Street and do something to help the community you purportedly represent. And yes, before you point me there, I have responded to the feedback site which asks as loaded questions as I would expect from the Southwark council traffic department. Really hope you can do the right thing here and get this reversed as quickly as possible. Thanks.

Proving the parking levels have absolutely nothing to do with commuters...a key premise of the rationale for introducing it. This flawed, anti-democratic project should be cancelled but won?t be as we all know what it is really about: raising money. And local businesses and the majority of residents can go hang. roywj Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Traffic & parking levels are almost back to pre > Covid levels - when is the East Dulwich parking > zone going to get back on track and implemented?

It?s just so depressing. When are the next elections so we can boot this shower out? Need strong independent councillors to represent us properly rather than their political party and personal aspirations. James Barber come back all is forgiven!!!

Thank you Rockets. It is entirely telling that engaging with the community is James? last area of pride and says little about general representation of the wider community: no wonder many of us feel there is no one who stands for us. CPZ was a massive betrayal of our community: lies, gerrymandering and finally bulldozing through just as Covid-19 hit our local businesses. The first 3 points are Labour/union Party issues: whatever help you climb the greasy pole James...

You are right in that it will not help you get re-elected James: the plans are nuts and we are all quite fed up of Southwark council?s persistent false manipulation of data and total disregard for local opinion (as per the disgraceful CPZ process). Link this to your slavish following of the Tooley Street party line and I?d say you?ve got a pretty slim chance of getting back in. But we shall see...there?s still time to stand up for the majority of your constituents...

34 objections, 33 rejected. This borough is like North Korea. I hope we all remember this when the next local elections come around. No support from our local councillors (again)
