    East Dulwich
  1. My point was that there was no consultation on this so far as I can recall; if ward policy is to be decided, then asking people in the ward for their views might be a democratic starting point. Unless you believe that ward policy should be the remit of the Labour councillors only... Oh you probably do believe that. As do the Labour councillors no doubt.
  2. It required legislation to identify the beneficial owners of properties in the UK held by overseas companies - and these still haven't been properly disclosed - ownership of things isn't just a google search away - and to suggest otherwise is not to understand how capitalism works. Unless you (cyclemonkey) do have access to that knowledge and would like to share.
  3. Agreed with whom? one wonders. Not (knowingly) with me, for sure. As an elector in Dulwich Hill. Agreed with someone in Ryedale, one assumes.
  4. Out of interest it also, rather tellingly, excludes topography from this map - Camberwell Old Cemetery is built on a hill (the hill that gives our ward its new name) and which means that for the old and/ or infirm the cycling and walking routes up and down this hill pose real barriers, very much lost on this map without contours. If East Dulwich is now to be only the land of the young and the fit - well shame on every councillor who has (possibly unthinkingly) endorsed this.
  5. The way this all reads it would seem increasingly possible to suggest a conspiracy between unnamed individuals who live in Rydale, indeed possibly just one individual, and redacted councillors aiming to bypass advice and democratic consultation to achieve, well, what? Chaos it might seem and considerable very poor and discriminatory knock-on effects. And not ones which fall, I might argue, in the unintended consequences box, but rather intended consequences to make life worse for those reliant on, or simply choosing, 4 wheeled transport. I write as someone very local to Rydale, on Underhill, who has relied on accessing my GP surgery, pharmacist, Post Office, dry cleaner... etc. whilst in ill health. Rydale is not (just, if at all) a rat run for the dreaded foreigner - it is an artery for people who live locally. Or now a private road for just those people who live in Rydale, and hang the rest!
  6. I think if you're in the relevant group your knowing isn't an issue as regards confidentiality. Nothing has been breached. If you're not then the question arises as to how you know. If the individual concerned has shared their views outside the group, then, again, no WhatsApp group confidentiality, as to author, can be said to have been breached.
  7. I go there quite regularly (don't ask), on my own behalf and as a chauffeur for family. I have never noted people parking up, going in and then straight out again once registered. Some times of day (and some days) are much busier than others, as you might expect, especially during winter vaccination season.
  8. It's about ensuring it's the medical facilities you are accessing, hence the sign-in actually in Tessa Jowell. And I think there are visual as well as camera checks, after all a number of people drive in and out of the car park to drop patients off. Clearly they are not parked up, so it's not relevant if they are fleetingly on camera. It's only those actually parked who need to identify themselves as patients.
  9. It's on the corner of Lordship Lane and Melford Road.
  10. I think that sub post offices cannot operate without a formally trained person there, so maybe it closed because there was no trained cover, perhaps through sickness.
  11. Now, is that a nonne or a num question I wonder (for those with a classical background)?
  12. Impossible now to prove anyway, I made no record. Any council record will be long gone.
  13. For the record, one monitoring strip was placed close to where I live on Underhill - but it almost immediately went faulty (one end became detached from the monitoring equipment and just flapped about) so I doubt it's 'reports' were much use as a record. It was only in place at all for about a week - it took longer for that for regular commuters and drivers around the area to firm up the Underhill route as being the prime choice to access east : west routes via the South Circular for their particular journeys.
  14. Yes, absolutely nothing. In the past such reorganisations we're carried out without suspending democracy.
  15. As regards weighing things the old way of scamming wasn't to have scales which weren't correctly calibrated, but judicious use of the shopkeeper's thumb. So reporting a problem may simply uncover scales that work properly.
