It's not an accident waiting to happen... Many accidents have already happened there and still nothing is done.

A Social club?

This thread is about Cox's walk, not about how virtuous you consider yourself.

Sorry but the reasons in that letter are pathetic. Abstaining is as bad as voting against it (and therefore for no deal) for the reasons Keir Starmer gave yesterday: "With no further time for negotiation, when the default is no deal, it is not a mark of how pro-European you are to reject implementing this treaty. It is not in the national interest to duck a question or to hide in the knowledge that others will save you from the consequences of your own vote. This is a simple vote, with a simple choice?do we leave the transition period with a treaty that has been negotiated with the EU, or do we leave with no deal? So Labour will vote to implement this treaty today to avoid no deal and to put in place a floor from which we can build a strong future relationship with the EU." Our representative ducked the question and hid. It isnt good enough frankly.

Seems pretty childish to me. As Keith Starmer himself said, voting against the deal was a vote for no deal. Why on earth would she vote for no deal? Whose interest is that in? Certainly not any of ours.

Was Helen Hayes still a local councillor when planning permission to demolish the Sylvester Road sorting office and turn it into luxury housing was granted?

They should have made Calton one way towards dulwich village and court lane one way towards lordship lane and then put a wide two way cycle in the spare lane on each road.

"our unhealthy streets..."

Very annoying for your daughter to have her time wasted like that. I hope she finds a better job that she enjoys, very soon! Anyway, the story remind me of this: https://metro.co.uk/2017/08/31/man-applies-for-vacancy-because-he-knows-last-person-in-the-job-died-6891956

Walking and cycling decrease social distancing. Sitting one apiece in a one tonne metal box increases social distancing

This is entirely on the council. They have had the power and specific government financing to make road closures to enable social distancing. Why didn't they use the government's Covid funding and emergency powers to close more of North Cross road during the market hours? It would have been very easy but instead they've embarked on some ridiculous ant car campaign in leafy Dulwich village leaving us to suffer

I thought the purpose of these emergency traffic orders was to enable social distancing during the Covid 19 pandemic.

Dog owners round here are the most selfish neighbours we have I think. From looking at our streets it seems that none of them ever bother to clean up their dog's waste. It's a disgusting way to behave.

Does it happen at a similar time on similar days?

Selling off the family silver is what your expect of a 1980s Tory party, not a Labour council. What planet are these people on?

Surely it's quicker to the south circular to go via consort rd / e dulwich rd / Peckham rye / Barry rd / lordship lane than any possible route via Bellenden And even if it isn't, Consort Rd is a residential road with a park on it. Bellenden is a commercial road with numerous car yards, industrial estates, railway siding and other commercial outlets that is more appropriate for commercial traffic.

Lol

"It seems that this route is heavily used as a rat run from Peckham High St down to the South Circular to avoid going all the way round to Consort Rd." Did someone really write this?

That traffic jam cams is a wonderful resource. Just look at all the red traffic dots surrounding the so-called Low Traffic Neighborhoods in East Dulwich and Dulwich Village. It shows perfectly what an absolute disaster these schemes have become.

I think the pro-closure people are really quite blinkered tbh and want to keep these closures whatever the data would say. It's very odd because this was actually a great opportunity to put in a network of connected safe routes that would encourage "active travel" without increasing pollution. If they could have built a coalition around that they could have achieved so much. What they've actually achieved is a few dead end streets that aren't even linked up, a massively antagonistic face off with any who isn't wearing lycra, and a total loss of faith and goodwill in the entire project and all they have left is to defend the existing flawed experiments at any costs. Their greatest (jsutified) fear is that if they lose these closed roads now no one will ever trust them again to try an alternative

Thanks James. Accessing services must sometimes seem very hard for those who are not connected to modern tech

Haven't some of the closures been in place for nearly six months already now?

"These people just turn up from nowhere" unlike the police, sadly

Hello James I was absolutely appalled to read how this person has been treated by the council. /forum/read.php?5,2169743

This is absolutely appalling.
