Are those carbon figures for a diesel car or a petrol car, rendel?

Moxons said on Twitter they would be opening a restaurant there and it will be caed Next Door

Good luck to them!

Wednesday sounds of the dray going over the speed bumps on its way to the pub, obvioulsy!

The point is Rendel that wood stoves are killing more people in London than diesel cars and that this policy has already been shown to have caused people to abandon diesel rsulting directly in an increase in pollution. It is misconceived and worse for the environment than the status quo.

That's exactly right James, but sadly people have stopped buying those cars in favour of more polluting petrol engines because they no longer have any trust at all in diesel. Its a shocking case of unintended consequences and the Mayor ought to address it. Rendel,see here: http://www.bmj.com/content/350/bmj.h2757/rr-1

There are 342 ANPR cameras across the whole of the area inside the m25 to enforce it (compared to 646 for the congestion charge). Not many of those cameras are already inside the north / south circular.

Which makes it pie in the sky in my opinion. A nationwide tax is outside Khan's powers and as he would get no personal publicity for it he wont be advocating it. "The problem of diesel pollution" has largely been solved with modern diesels. The major issue now is that initiatives like Sadiq Khan's have put people off buying diesels altogether. Last year there was a twenty per cent fall in new diesel car sales and as a result for the first time in twenty years carbon dioxide (the most damaging greenhouse gas) from new cars increased. These measures are not improving the environment. Banning wood stoves in London would reduce mkre NOx than this diesel tax but Khan wont contemplate it for some reason. His green logic is hard to fathom.

Is scrapping all those diesel cars enivronmentally friendly? Are the petrol cars tbat will replace them less polluting? What is the environmental impact (let alone cost) of constructing an enforcement network in an area of hundreds of square miles? Why isnt the issue of wood burning stoves being addressed, which causes far more pollution than diesel cars?

rah rah , I don't think it would encourage shorter journeys any more than does the completely unrestricted parking in place in a lot of East Dulwich.

There are normally several pay per hour parking spaces included in the scheme. The borough wide scheme in chelsea works very well. It wouldnt work in southwark because of things like the huge size or the number of people that live out here but work close to the other end of the borough in the city etc. But larger zones than one or two streets (e.g. whole council wards) where a permit is valid throughout might be more practical.

I wouldn't celebrate too soon, themorgannons... To quote James Barber from the start of this thread "It will clearly add more parking pressure to residents south of the East Dulwich railway line. ... I have asked why the Dulwich Community Council were not consulted and that the decision be deferred until we meet in January."

That is appalling and would certainly put me off wanting to eat anything from a restaurant next to it!

The shop front just did not invite people in somehow, either to eat or to but takeaway and I don't ever recall seeing a menu in the window, which is something every other pub, restaurant, cafe and bar on LL has. They are selling off the furniture if anyone is interested. http://www.burroesalvia.co.uk/sale/

sorry, posted a response to the wrong thread!

I'd prefer nando's to bills and I've only had the misfortune to eat in a branch of the latter.

I guess this means Nando's have given up on the Londis site on Lordship Lane.

So both are also high rise buildings!

How many floors are there in the car park and the Bussey building?

I'm quite suprised that you hold such intolerant views of people who use hostels James. Its the sort of prejudiced nimbyism that one might expect from the blue rinse brigade snobs, not from a so-called 'Liberal'.

Outside wood fired oven shirley?

Are you not a bit worried you might have got better queueing outside cheeses shops tomorrow?

The Herne Hill and North Dulwich CPZs are as much part of this problem as the peckham CPZs are. The problem will spread to the areas around East Dulwich station next and the clamour for a CPZ will follow soon after. CPZs are more pervasive than Japanese knotweed.

Presumably they consult the residents inside the proposed zone rather than councillors?

This must be the worst time of year to start again. All xmas party opportunities and season of goodwill spend gone, many people away over the next 2 or 3 weeks starting from this weekend and a lot of punters will have committed to a new years do already by now. Then they'll have "dry January" to contend with. In fact shutting it down before what must be the most profitable month of the year for a pub suggests it was a complete basket case Good luck to them if they do reopen now but I wouldnt want to take it on unless there was a good long rent free period...
