I'm not entirely sure why an Ocado driver would park on Ashbourne for delivery into Melbourne... That's quite a trek to deliver the food and wine.. Pretty sure that traffic volumes in the Melbourne - Ashbourne - Chesterfield triangle have decreased as a result of the LTN. The only drivers that would possibly use Ashbourne as a 'driveway' for Melbourne 'South' would be those driving north up Lordship Lane having cut onto Melbourne from Lordship Lane opposite the Harris school. I am guessing most savvy drivers and Sat Navs would avoid this. As a result of closures on Melbourne 'North', Derwent & Elsie all north to south traffic from Dog Kennel Hill now goes via Lordship Lane. I don't believe that Ashbourne is suffering - the whole residential area is benefitting.

I wonder if the underlying motivation for being anti LTN on East Dulwich Grove etc has something more to do with the likely downward pressure on houses prices..

I really don?t know what all the fuss is about - the roads are only busy at rush hour like they have always been. Go down from 9:30am onwards and it?s really quiet. Removing the LTNs won?t change the rush hour jam one bit. Meanwhile it was great to see people socialising outside the coffee shop on Melbourne Grove which doubles as a wine bar in the evening. Similarly the new Dulwich Square with the seated area is a great idea. Encouraging less car use is a step in the right direction, all the council need to do now is install some proper cycling lanes to make it safer for the cyclists which I suspect will come at some point. I think those against need to come to terms that the LTNs are here to stay which will be further backed up by the consultation.

Main roads busy at rush hour, who?d have thought... shock horror!

Apart from the massive houses on East Dulwich Grove and blocks of flats tucked away on Melbourne Grove.. stop trying to make something out of nothing.
