No doubt if he determines to stand for a ward he will enlighten us - at least his track record is one of using this site to communicate (inter alia). I would suspect that (1) his personal views on traffic will have remained consistent but that (2) his views on local democracy and proper consultation will have as well.

To be fair he also listened to his constituents and didn't press for what he preferred when he realised significant numbers of his constituents disagreed.

And I'm afraid very loud fireworks are rather a thing, the noise being necessary to scare away evil things at New Year.

It hardly matters that it's six years old. If I'd built a wall across a road 20 or a 200 years ago, the road would still be blocked. It only unblocks if the wall or the traffic restriction, is taken away.

Having quickly looked at this it is handled in road sections, it seems, so there is no obvious way to input my needs, previously expressed by others after the route was altered, for a re-introduced direct bus between Dulwich/ East Dulwich and Guys, where much of the cancer treatments from King's are outsourced to.

That's a helpful update. I hope you get it recovered and repaired without further difficulty. Annoying it should have happened just after a service. At least no one could drive it away in the meantime!

19 year old male, apparently. Very sad. The news says his family has been informed. No arrests, but increased police presence.

I would suggest that the time you spend picking quarrels on these boards would imply the contrary.

I never said it did, and you are misquoting me for trolling purposes. I said that the free flow of traffic benefited the economy, and it was precisely that lack of free flow which instituted the initial congestion charge justified by its economic contribution to London, based on the reduction of travel costs and the speeding up of e.g. delivery. The fact that different considerations driven by hated of private cars, inter alia, and a desire to drive funds then reduced road availability through dedicated lanes and the introduction of revenue generating box junctions have taken through speeds in central London back to the 12mph fiasco that the congestion charge was meant to address is a sad reflection on lost opportunity.

Yes, phone 999. Considering the cost of a Ferrari even the Met might bother, it would help their statistics to recover it.

Because you wouldn't like the answer?

The question wasn't addressed to me, but I certainly use both sides, depending upon where I am going and what the hold up is on either side - there have been terrible road works for nearly a year off and on. By cutting off one side there is every chance of dreadful disruption - as is normal when any roads are blocked,always exacerbated when alternatives become blocked as well. It is clear that the concept of free flow of traffic has been abandoned by certain groups - regardless of the needs of people, and the economy, for this. Southwark (and other boroughs) are becoming increasingly broken and intentionally.

I was told they'd normally wait 24 hours to check a tracker wasn't installed. For a valuable car. Unless the car was taken from someone not yet aware (away on holiday or business) I'd have thought if there was a tracker it would have been found by now. But if they knew their victim was away they might wait longer. What they don't want is the eventual destination garage to be located with a tracker.

No I won't. This has nothing to do with Ryedale and everything to do with the way people approach news.

As it does when the news is alarming. It takes time, sometimes, for ing to segue into ist. We are now very much into a precautionary mind set, and are encouraged to be by the media.
