This is one of the reasons we have a lost generation. Why most of the under 24s are all out of work.

The schools have not been any better in the last 40 years I had the same trouble with my children in the 1960s

Posted by: fredricketts Today, 12:41PM Hi James, Thank you for your reply, I was thinking more on the lines of Getting a noxious piece of legislation changed, so residents can have more direct Knowledge and information as to what is happening in their ares. Like petitioning T Jowel or who ever. What ever it takes.

I agree it?s good for the kids, and I don?t begrudge them, but that is an awful lot of money, when the disabled facilities are being cut back

Hi James Barber Is there anything we can do to change this? As at the moment, residents do not have any say in this matter. Before we were informed of any changes, now we have to rely on someone seeing the notice in the bars window, which I think is unfair on residents that have to put up with this unsocialable behaviour late at night. And surely this cannot be right.

Tessa's licensing law moved the previous presumption of the applicant from needing to prove a licence or licence change wouldn't cause harm to objectors proving it would cause harm. It was a huge change and has since seen huge step increase in alcohol emergency ambulance and A&E calls. It appears to have kick started the binge drinking culture and not continental southern Europe cafe culture hoped for. Unlikely we'll get the tory part of the coalition to agree to new more restrictive licensing laws as big business wouldn't like that - and that suits the more Liberals element of the Lib Dems. We have a bad law aimed at benefiting businesses at the expense of civil society - but apart from that I hold no views on the subject. Back to Freds concern about Adventure bar enxtensing it opening to 2am Thursday and bank holiday. Email licensing@southwark.gov.uk if you wish to object or support it. The legally valid reasons to object are: - The prevention of crime and disorder - Public Safety - The prevention of public nuisance - The protection of children from harm Hi James Barber Is there anything we can do to change this?

If we all write to Tessa Jowell at the following email, we might get some answers as to how these bar get away with extending their hours without us knowing. JOWELLT@parliament.uk I have lived here longer than the Bars have been around, and I have no intension of being pushed out through rowdy people coming out of bars that should not have been given licences in the first place. As I have said before, you cannot trust any politicians, they all liars and work for their own ends, promise the earth to get in, and produce nothing, but what suite them best. Its disgusting that these bars have obtained licences, through what I call the back door, stick a piece of paper in their window, so you have to be passing their bars to notice it. If you are old and don?t go out much, no chance of knowing what?s happing in your area, and you get stuck with a load a S**T in your streets. We have people coming out of these bars at 2 to 2.30am Pi****g and Sh****G up and down the road, last year one of my neighbours had a brick through her window and I had drinks chuck all over my car which stained the paint work. This is what the Gov and Council expect rate payer to put up with. Money before people. JOWELLT@parliament.uk

No wonder Tessa Jowel never answered my email About the adventure bar.it is a noxious piece of legislation And goes against residents rights to object. Ashbourne Grove objected the last time against the licence And now it would seem that it's all been done behind our backs.

Thank James for your reply. It seems a bit premature that all the gubbins for putting down this crossing are already on the road ready to go, when the signs on the lamp post say you have until the 9th Feb. to put in your objections. It seems to me that residents are the last to know about anything that is going on to do with their area. As for the adventure bar opening times, it seems once again we are the last to know when there hours were changed to 2am, as no one in Ashbourne Grove knew that they had successfully applied for longer hours and they now have a 2am

.According to the notices on the lamp post it ends the 9th February. Yet they have everything in place on the road to go on the 14th February. Ashbourne grove residents opposed it the last time it came up, not because of safety reasons, but because of the lack of parking spaces and the overspill once again to the side roads. I don?t think Southwark Council know the meaning of democracy. Consultation, It would be nice if Southwark Council knew what it means, and started to consult with the Local residents,giving it enough time to do so would be nice.

Once again, Democracy in action in Southwark. Proposed Pelican crossing outside the Co-Op in Lordship Lane. Two years ago most of the traders and residents around the Co-Op opposed the Pelican crossing, on the grounds that more parking spaces would go, and there would be little room for lorries to load and unload to supply the shops, and that the parking in Lordship Lane would once again be pushed on to the side turnings, like Ashbourne grove. It would appear that, in spite of putting notices up for consultation on lamp posts, everything is in place to go ahead with the crossing, even the marking of the roads and traffic lights are there ready to go. So it does not matter what the consultation reveals, they will go ahead anyway. This is the democracy of Southwark Council. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO LISTEN TO RESIDENTS AND TRADERS?

There is a problem in the whole East Dulwich with parking. And it is not going to get any better in the future.and CPZ is not the answer.perhaps Southwark council might go back to the drawing board with local residents and traders And try to resolve the problem, but it will not be resolved by pooring more people into East dulwich.I for one would never vote lib dem again.the govs policy to keep building Flats and house without any consideration for car parking,with policies like this you can Expect more parking problems. Well down the EDF.

It is important to recognise that the majority of households in Southwark do not have access to a car and the needs of this majority must also be considered in the allocation of street space It is important to recognise that the majority of households in Southwark do not have access to a car and the needs of this majority must also be considered in the allocation of street space Do these politicians live in cuckoo land? What survey has been done to come to this conclusion? Manipulating the figures again to suite themselves, it?s a great democracy we live in, JUST DO AS YOU ARE TOLD, These politicians need a Toilet roll permantley around their necks, for the amount of cr*p that comes out of their mouths.

Gsirett wrote: "Personally, I'm feeling quite bullied by Southwark Council over controlled parking." Nail. On. Head. Is this not the case, with all Councils and Government? They say one thing to get the power, and then do the opposite.

One answer to the parking problem, especially around the station, would be for Southwark Council to acquire part of the pulled down Dulwich Hospital, it looks like it is going to be vacant for a long time, I think it?s been a couple of years now, and use that as a car park for Dulwich. What with all the markets that the Council wants round here, and the closing off of roads to accommodate these people from out of the area. And the Council allowing car parks to be built on. I think it would be a good investment for the council, as they could charge a small fee. But probably knowing Southwark Council, it would go up to a large fee.

First mate. I will be there with you and I hope all the sensible minded people in ED, will be there as well. It?s about time the Councils start to practice what they preach, involvement in your community, for a better future, but what they mean is: we will do what we think is right, and what earns the most money. Keep piling people in to East Dulwich and elsewhere, without any consideration for car parking, more offences committed, more money for the Councils to squander on hare- brained schemes that are of little use to the community. Cars are here for life, make no mistake, and we will have to deal with it, but not by letting excess people into an already overpopulated area. The Councils are a law unto themselves and imposing schemes on an unwilling community.

Actually Fred, if you look around you, you'll see that East Dulwich residents are doing an awful lot of breeding, and have been doing so for some time, which may explain a lot of the increase. Add to that the excellent medical facilities in the area and a reluctance of the older generation to retire to the seaside (as they might once have done) and it's going to get ever so crowded round here even if not one 'immigrant' moves here. Thats the problem overcrowing by who ever.
