ed26 all those asked who do then pull their mask up don?t make for a good news story. There will always be those who react in a violent and uncalled for way, thankfully they are in the minority. If you feel comfortable ask someone to cover their nose / pull their mask up. If you see someone do it back them up but bear in mind that as well as those choosing not to wear masks there are those who are exempt and this doesn?t need to be proven. I?ve done it sometimes and not others. When I have I?ve never received an aggressive response. I know I?ve put my mask down to have a drink and then forgotten to pull it up straightaway, it wasn?t intentional but I wasn?t wearing a mask when I meant to / should have been. I?d not have a problem with someone asking me to put a mask on and from what I?ve seen most people don?t.

Another thread made me look at the Council website and I saw this which I believe will affect the Townley Road / East Dulwich Road junction I think I have seen posts on this before but could only find a thread about phase 3 and as this comes into operation on Thursday thought it best to post. The orders have been published for phase 2 to come into operation on 22 October. The orders can be found on the Council website. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/transport-and-roads/traffic-orders-licensing-strategies-and-regulation/traffic-management-orders?chapter=5&article To my reading this means no left turn from Calton Avenue into Townley Road and Townley Road becomes no access to East Dulwich Road during the morning and evening peaks. Looks like it will be camera enforcement so if you miss the signs you won?t know until the penalty comes through the door. Sorry if I?ve started a new thread unnecessarily

Legalalien I?m not sure if this is what you want but I commented on the Dulwich Healthy Streets previously on here and I?ve since had emails about something else I may be interested in. https://dulwichvillagestreetspace.commonplace.is/about As I recall when I added my comment I was asked if I?d like to know of other things happening in the area.

I missed this first time round. Responses must be sent within 6 months of the date of the experimental traffic order. At 5 on the TMO it says ?The council will in due course be considering whether the provisions of the experimental order/s should be continued in force indefinitely, by means of a permanent order made under section 6 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. Anyone wishing to object to the making of the permanent orders or make any other representation regarding the scheme would have 6 months to do so, from the date the experimental order comes into force (or, if the order is varied by a subsequent order or modified pursuant to section 10(2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, from the date that variation order or modification comes into force), and may send a statement to traffic.orders@southwark.gov.uk or to: Traffic Order consultations, Highways, Southwark Council, Environment and Leisure, P.O. Box 64529, London SE1P 5LX; or use the form labelled 'Parking - Road traffic and highway schemes - responding to statutory consultation notices' at www.southwark.gov.uk/statutoryconsultationnotices quoting the reference ?TMO2021-EXP14_LSP Peckham Rye?. Please note that if you wish to object to the scheme you must state the grounds on which your objection is made?

I couldn?t understand where this related to - two roads with the same name was too confusing for me and I needed a map. When I found the map I realised it wasn?t going to affect me contrary to that I first thought, but if it helps here?s the link to the actual details of what the Council is planning to do. There are details and maps (8 of them) in the traffic management order on the Southwark Council website. Follow the link for LSP Peckham Rye trial from this page https://www.southwark.gov.uk/transport-and-roads/traffic-orders-licensing-strategies-and-regulation/traffic-management-orders?chapter=5&article This is an experimental order for 18 months so there is no need for the Council to consult before it comes into effect. There are a number of ?Covid related? experimental orders going in across the borough. It appears the best way to object until a formal consultation is carried out (likely to be after 9 - 12 months of operation) is to send as many individual comments / letters / emails to your Councillor. If you've signed the petition that will count as 1 view as far as the Council is concerned from what they've said in response to other consultations so even if its just an email to your Councillor saying "I've signed " you might want to do that too if you want your view to be known.

If this works on your phone then Install and use it and encourage others to. Once installed you can pretty much forget about it. Yes there were issues when it first came out but the updates were quick and there?s not been anything in the news in recent days which would indicate any issues are resolved. Every time Apple do an iOS update I wait a week before updating and how many patches do Microsoft issue? Software updates cause issues, this app is no different. I?ve checked into a venue - make sure you scan the NHS QR code not the venue?s own if they had one before. It worked first time for me. Just checked battery usage on my iPhone 6S and the app usage was under 1% so not even recorded. Note this does something different to the Zoe Covid app so please use both.

JohnL fair point it should be top down. Have you told Asda you think a process isn?t in place? Asda should listen if their customer?s feeling is their staff are not told to wear masks - whether they are or not. As a customer tell Asda you?ll shop elsewhere until you feel staff know they should be wearing them (probably not all will all the time even then) that should make them take notice / action. If nothing is said / people keep going somewhere there is no incentive for change and a business won?t tell staff to wear masks. The law and protecting their customers should be enough of a reason but would appear not to be so they need an incentive that gets their attention - losing customers would do it.

There?s never going to be a time when everyone takes the same measures or judges the severity of Covid / flu / driving through a red light / stopping for pedestrians to cross ....the same. If you see something that makes you uncomfortable say if you feel ok about that. A local shop or business appear not to be following measures you think they should - raise it. You might need to do it more than once I raised staff not wearing masks over their noses in Sainsburys and it improved for a few days. Need to do it again but maybe one person remembers and they then prompt someone else. Also you are the customer, say you will be reluctant to go until it changes. Or just do what you feel and maybe others will take note. Since the level went from 3 to 4 I now wear a mask outside - lockdown is the next level and no one wants that. I?m in the minority and don?t expect that to change overnight but I remember my dad saying that when drink driving laws came in it was something that hadn?t been thought about, by the time I learnt to drive most people wouldn?t think to drink and drive but there are still those that do. That?s going to be the same for any Covid measures. My understanding is Council?s are to provide the Covid Marshalls from existing staff / resources so I don?t see how they can make much difference. Surely education is better than enforcement? I doubt East Dulwich would be a priority anyhow - limited resources would need to be targeted.

This thread in the general area might be of interest /forum/read.php?5,2151996

There was a BBC article on Halloween in light of Covid. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjqw_WL8JrsAhVCDewKHVqZBE0QFjABegQIARAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fuk-54180119&usg=AOvVaw21SCcJ8V214tcA19BxRyx6 As well as tips for giving treats they had suggestions on alternatives: Five things to do this Halloween 1. Organise a Halloween treasure hunt within your own household 2. Host a virtual party with themed games and music 3. Watch a scary movie with the family 4. Decorate your own house and organise a spooky trail, avoiding face-to-face contact 5. Try reverse trick or treating by dropping off pre-packed sweets on neighbours' doorsteps

The weekly email from TfL mentioned it so I think this has started. It only applies to the bits of Lordship Lane that are red routes - near the South Circular I think, definitely not from Goose Green to Blackwater Street (Cafe Nero to William Rose) which have yellow lines and aren?t red routes.

N dulwich northerner I?d not realised about the borough boundary. There is a difference as a visitor to the area looking for parking - isn?t one of the things a CPZ is meant to do to improve parking availability for residents? It did near us. When I need to make a daytime visit to the Herne Hill area there is a choice. You have to find a bay you can pay in that is free in the all day zone or you time your visit and park in the two hour zone outside of the hours it operates. For residents its only other residents and their visitors parking in the all day zone. I chose to time my visit for free parking and went to a couple of shops I wouldn?t have if I?d parked in the all day zone which was closest to where I was going.

Rockets Zone Q is the other side of East Dulwich station and was the first of the East Dulwich zones to be put in. - East Dulwich Grove is in the latest zone. Zone Q went in after 4 consultations and the parking had got worse. We said no to the first 3 consultations but when the fourth came out it was needed. I thought Stradella Road was all day, guess there is a set of bays at the end that I saw the sign for that?s all day. The zone the other side of the bridge opposite Brockwell Park is all day. So Lambeth also have a two hour zone one side of the station and an all day zone the other. Like the zones around East Dulwich there is a mix of a station, residents and businesses so guess there is something that means a two hour zone isn?t going to work in some areas.

Rockets Wrote: > > Interesting isn't it that time limited CPZs have > been very effective in areas like Herne Hill in > deterring commuters yet protecting the local > community shops and Southwark opted for the all > day option. Read into that what you will! The zone around East Dulwich station is 11-1, West Peckham is 9-11. Both were put in by Southwark as well as the East Dulwich CPZ. The roads closest to the shops in Herne Hill have longer hours, the two hour restriction is a few roads further away. Whoever decided the hours had to look at the bigger picture

As blah blah said we, as individuals, can do things to protect ourselves. After the threat level increased from 3-4 yesterday I?ve decided to wear a mask any time I?m outside. Don?t know about anyone else but as level 5 would mean going back to lockdown anything I can do to help avoid that seems a no brainer. Things could have been clearer along the way but I think its now clear that washing hands, covering your face, social distancing and limiting the number of people you come into contact with reduce opportunities for the virus to transmit. Maybe action could have been taken by the government sooner but there is nothing to stop us, as individuals, doing something before they say or more than they say. The sooner the majority do the sooner we?ll be able to go back to a more normal life as the virus growth rate will meet their measures whether you think they are right or wrong. The increased penalties the government is introducing show they?ve recognised this will not go away if left to unenforceable guidance. To those who say we should be able to do what we want that will happen sooner the more people who take action. Look at the bigger picture.

Looks to me like this is TfL and doesn?t affect the stretch of Lordship Lane with parking. Maybe why people were having difficulty finding information if they were looking for Southwark. http://lruc.content.tfl.gov.uk/bus-lane-operating-hours.pdf If it makes a few walk when they would have driven but having thought about it decided they don?t need to drive that?s good for us all. A twenty minute walk back with shopping is doable and families might get exercise and talk rather than jump in the car, kids on their phones the whole time. Some might even prefer it once they try something they?ve not before. We use our cars too much, its too easy. Making it expensive or uncomfortable is sometimes the only way to make people think.

Good on you Jacqui5254 The negative aspects do get more publicity than the positive ones. Yes there are aggressive people but that?s human nature. Most people are reasonable from what I see. If you feel it appropriate ask someone to put on a mask / cover their nose. I?m not always comfortable asking outright. If not you could lead by example. If you are with someone else at the bus stop who you know is reasonable say ?Masks on? as you see the bus approach and maybe someone who might have left it round their neck will pull it up or while waiting for the bus chat about seeing an article that bus drivers have died / people travelling on buses but not covering their noses and mouths are inadvertently spreading the virus or another message you think people need to hear. Someone might think about it later, and there are so many articles, Facebook posts its unlikely you?ll be asked for specifics. Maybe this is a bit naive but those who want to do the right thing might. There is no point trying with some people but the person on the 185 might have just forgotten their mask on the way out that day or might not have thought to take one but will in future and might have mentioned the act of kindness to friends who are now wearing masks / carrying extras. The report on possible extra national restrictions could be a good talking point - if more people had worn masks / social distanced these might not have had to be considered / I hope they?re not necessary but can see they might be the only way given people aren?t following guidance to date.

Anyone driving from Goose Green up past East Dulwich Station the road is taped off at the traffic lights at the turning to Sainsburys up to Albrighton Road. Not clear why and no diversion I can see

Yes there are some who are selfish but there are also those who don?t wear a mask because they forget or haven?t noticed it slipped and isn?t covering their nose. I had to remind my husband on the bus that he needed to keep his mask on for the bus journey. Other than shopping we?ve only once been to a restaurant where you keep your mask on until you sit down so he?d put it down when we sat down on the bus. He put it back on when reminded. I also volunteer at the Community Fridge at the Albrighton Centre. There are signs to say face coverings should be worn in the building but people need reminding as they come in or asking to cover there noses when masks slip. I?ve seen hundreds of reminders and only two bad responses. If you feel it appropriate ask someone to put on a mask / cover their nose. If not lead by example - I make a point of stopping to put my mask on before going into a building or cleaning down my table after use if that?s the measure somewhere I sit in. Maybe someone didn?t realise and will do it next time. Maybe that?s a bit naive but I know it?s not always been clear to me what to do so I?m sure that?s the case for others.

I?ve only taken the bus a couple of times - walking if I can. I?ve not heard an announcement about wearing masks while on the bus. There are announcements for other things. Is it worth suggesting this, maybe checking t see if Passenger Watch etc have any advice if you are going to contact TfL / a travel operator.

They are not yet legal but I see no reason they won?t be and they are in use. As Shaggy says the law is unlikely to be enforced if you use it responsibly. A few suggestions for Dulwich_Dad: Wear a helmet - they can go along as quickly as a cycle so take the same precautions you would if you were riding a bike. If you have to travel on the pavement, and I can see that is safer than being on the road most of the time, give way to pedestrians and give warning that you are approaching. I?ve had scooters come up behind me I had no idea were there until they passed me. A bicycle bell or shout out Excuse Me / Good Morning (probably a bell in London!) with time for the pedestrian to stand to one side if needed before you get to them will make it safer and more pleasant for all. Consider waterproof over trousers / gaiters for when the weather is less pleasant. If you have waterproof over trousers you can travel in your normal work attire. Gaiters will at least protect the bottom of your trousers from spray the scooter kicks up in wetter weather. Yes there will always be some thoughtless riders just as there are cyclists and drivers but responsible use should be welcomed.

This may be a waste of time but I thought this article might be of interest to some https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51506729 Given the changing advice and now schools and universities are back I?m waiting for pubs to be closed or other measures from lockdown reintroduced. I hope I?m wrong but the government action so far hasn?t filled me with confidence. It makes sense the more restrictions are lifted the more people we meet and the opportunities for transmission increase. We all need to do what we can so we don?t go back to lockdown. Worryingly the average age for reported cases has gone down. If you are younger you might not get too ill but you could pass it to someone who isn?t as resilient as you. It?s been said those worried should stay home and let the younger generation go out if they want. I think the figures by age group show that was what was happening but cases have still risen and there are now more than 10 times as many cases in the 20-29 age group as in the 70-79 age group. In certain places you tend to come into contact mainly with your age group but at some point you come into contact with other age groups. The virus doesn?t respect age groups so we all need to work together to manage the spread so we can have something like a normal life.

The Bishop has a sign in the window that they are doing 50% off food and soft drinks in September.

Twinhunters have you tried contacting Deliveroo - Twitter and Facebook seem to get their attention. Also maybe mention it to any local businesses that use Deliveroo. If it could affect income / custom they might do something. Also is there a contact for the works. They might have suggestions if they?ve had this on other works.
