'Foodbank' street collector outside M&S
snowy replied to Castleton's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I mean good luck to you, but with 4 staff you have still failed to submit your statutory accounts for your two eligible years of operation and are overdue with them this year too. Companies House have taken steps to close you twice. Your annual loss in trading is increasing each year. You have had two directors resign in 2022 leaving only 1 in place which isn't the best if you want good governance- but that also stops you from being able to raise funds from trusts and foundations. -
Sydenham Hill Consultation: a manipulative trend or a one-off?

I cycle it regularly and see a broad range of people using it. -
Sydenham Hill Consultation: a manipulative trend or a one-off?
snowy replied to Rockets's topic in Roads & Transport
Tellingly no comment on any of the other points? Come on - give us a yes or no answer- were the sydenham hill road changes put in to reduce driver speeds irrespective of the cycle lane addition? and on cycle lanes: https://gprivate.com/6g4et -
Sydenham Hill Consultation: a manipulative trend or a one-off?
snowy replied to Rockets's topic in Roads & Transport
It will probably do your blood pressure no good to hear that cycle lanes aren't compulsory and aren't recommended if you're cycling over 12mph. None of the anti-infrastructure comments reflect that the road narrowing was implemented because drivers were consistently breaking the speed limit and causing collisions. What's the usual line - 'when will the driving community accept responsibility for the actions of some of its members "? It wasn't installed to create a new cycle lane, that was an ancillary project. -
Sydenham Hill Consultation: a manipulative trend or a one-off?

Works for the council or has the ability to do a basic google search? I mean its all there - summarised in the 2015 scoping report and then the 2020 plan. Just search for sydenham hill 20mph. the works were going ahead irrespective of the small cycle lane. The borough has a 20mph limit and this road was identified as one where the average speed was way in excess of that. The road narrowing and pedestrian crossing are there to reduce speeds to the speed limit and to improve pedestrian safety. Nothing to do with the usual conspiratorial unsubstantiated bobbins from Rockets. Southwark Cyclists became a consultee, because you know, they represent some cyclists. The rest of Rockets post just repeats a post made elsewhere and just seems to be more ill informed guff. Remarkably similar to what the nee One Dulwich partners have been posting on twitter too. Strange coincidence. -
South Circular roadworks - excessive disruption
snowy replied to Penguin68's topic in Roads & Transport
So you were banned for something you don't think you did? Right. -
What's the expression- do your own research? Or ask Southwark - their email address will be available, perhaps cc your local councillor. Because frankly i have no idea. Sorry FM, fat fingers pressed the post button before i had finished

Have you even read the traffic management order for it? Clearly not. What were you banned for? -

snowy replied to Penguin68's topic in Roads & Transport
Qwant not working for you today? The expenditure and the purpose of Sydenham Hill "traffic calming, cycling and walking measures" is outlined in that traffic management order. As has been pointed out, the road was apparently in the top ten borough wide statistics for speeding. Crashmap will even show them to you. Given the mean average cost of a vehicle collision is something like £11k (slight) £155k (serious) and £1.1m (fatality) based on 2012 prices and Government forecasts, it will probably pay for itself quite quickly in saved costs. On bike sales- you should know this - you don't need to replace your bike every three years. i'm still using a bike from the seventies, so apart from the long term n+1 issue, i don't need to buy a new one. Look at the classified ads for the lack of depreciation on an isla bike as an example. Compare that to a car. -

Sydenham hill is a traffic calming plan with a cycle lane as an added benefit, not a cycle lane with traffic calming benefits. it's covered in traffic management order 202 should you wish to Qwant it (other search engines are available). -
Southwark consultation on Peckham gyratory
snowy replied to Marguerita98's topic in Roads & Transport
A prerequisite of being licensed to drive a vehicle on the road is knowing what road signs mean. it's rule 1 of the highway code. -

I don't think you have thought that through. -

All taxpayers paid for the roads. VED is applied depending on the emissions of your vehicle and doesn't cover the cost of road building or maintenance. -
Should cyclists have the same speed restrictions as motor vehicles?
snowy replied to tedfudge's topic in Roads & Transport
Please look at rule 213 of the highway code which reminds drivers that cyclists may need to move unpredictably. And Rule 61 on cycle lanes. -

Pedestrians, walk to your heart's content but DON'T infringe your passion on others or interfere in their way of life. -
You can find that here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/vehicle-speed-compliance-statistics-for-great-britain-2023/vehicle-speed-compliance-statistics-for-great-britain-2023#car-compliance-with-speed-limits 44% break the speed limit on 30mph road 9% on 60mph single carriage roads 45% on 70mph roads

I suspect that you are simply trolling now because I mean De Beauvoir, in hackney was what - the 1970s, Newtown, Exeter, lots of LB Merton, the Lanes in Brighton, lots of historic ones in Lambeth, Carnaby St, lots of Edinburgh, bits of Leicester, Station Approach in Herne Hill etc are all just clamouring to go back to cars everywhere aren't they?
-
I thought Rockets loved an uber?
-
The cars shouldn't be parked there - do you agree with that?
-
But on page 1 you say there is no parking pressure: What are you saying Southwark has created? By preventing drivers from breaking the rules they're creating pressure?
-
Of course it's a thing - go and have a hunt on tik tok or instagram and see kids pushing lines of them over...

It's clearly not deflection to ask for your answer before answering your question. It's just politeness. My point was that you evidently haven't hired a lime bike. To end the contract you have to upload a photograph of the bike parked upright in a safe position. They're geofenced to prevent them from being parked in prohibited areas. Unless the photo is approved then the hire stays live and you continue paying until its parked in a way that meets their t&c's. If you leave it lying on the ground you can't just walk away. Or you can but you would end up being charged hundreds of pounds and lose your lime account. Rows of bikes lying in their side have been pushed over.
