What high street are you on about? If they're allowed to use the back garden, there's not going to be any trouble from the council because it's going to be a very short conversation.

So will all the stuff about "local residents should decide, not outsiders" be binned now that London tax drivers are bulking out the petition? It was quite a strong OneDulwich talking point before.

Interested to hear how the conspiracy theorists are going to reconcile "LTNs are driven by outsiders" with pushing the petition out to taxi drivers and groups from other areas on Twitter!

CPZs kidnapped Shergar.

"All these stories of people cycling to the gym, or the cafe - nothing to do with real life" Yes. No-one outside Dulwich Village goes to gyms or cafes.

"You can't walk down Lordship Lane without hearing people complaining about the road closures" Your experience may be different from other people's here. You are somewhat of an 'enthusiast' on this topic...

"Local businesses need all the help they can get right now, not grief from the council." ...and local residents need all the help they can get right now, not grief from businesses.

Ceausescu would not have approved of the poor spelling and alignment.

They did, didn't they? Jarvis Rd has a gate to the Charter School campus.

So there you go, you have heard one. Every day a new exciting experience! How would you feel about Melbourne Grove being a school street?

Not entirely true: Lime coverage is pretty much a rectangle between Peckham, Harringay, Ealing and Putney. There are some chunks carved out (presumably where councils have prohibited street parking?) and a couple of lumps added on. But there is plenty of London that doesnt have Lime service.

How about an axe throwing range? That's very fashionable atm

Good point - they should just make them permanent now instead of trialling them, I agree.

You can usually look up its licensing conditions on the Southwark website. Some times they say something about indoor and outdoor spaces. Sometimes conditions will refer to the plans but IIRC those aren't always downloadable. When I've emailed the council licensing team in the past, they have been very responsive.

I cannot recall any occasion on which I have ever heard a shopkeeper (including family members!) or taxi driver say anything in favour of any proposed change to traffic management. Not yellow lines, not red routes, not the congestion charge, not ULEZ, not CPZ, not school streets, and not LTNs. Not in Dulwich, not anywhere else I've lived. Perhaps this is a result of my own confirmation bias.

If an ambulance driver doesn't know their way around the neighbourhood and drives down a street that doesn't lead where they think it does, then yes, they're going to have to chuck a uey. When the closures are made permanent, it's easy enough the make the closures in a way that allows emergency vehicles to pass over them. See for example the proposed design for the top of Aynella at the Library.

There has always been traffic and a set of traffic lights there.

"This is nothing short of discrimination." What kind of discrimination, specifically?

I don't want to go down the rabbit hole too much, but are you saying you live near a tennis court now and the sound of balls being hit and bouncing is annoying, or are you saying that you imagine it would be annoying to live near a tennis court?

Commiserations to you both. It's sickening. Any glimpse of the thieves? You should keep checking Gumtree for a while - my uncle actually recovered a bike when it was listed for sale six months later! The seller was fairly dodgy but probably not the initial thief.

You're not wrong, Sue, that social distancing is a good thing at this time. However, in terms of preventing COVID spread among the youth, I don't think standing around in the open air would be a bad thing for kids and the youth to be doing. If we chase them away from there they'll be down the pub, crammed into someone's bedroom, or on the bus/train to skate somewhere further afield - all of which is more risky.

I'm surprised to hear tennis balls being described as particularly noisy!
