East Dulwich Grove and Grove Vale are now dangerous for cyclists (Me) There is too much traffic on these roads please re open the side roads to take the pressure off

Why does the council seem to carry on regardless. Charging us for them to carry on as normal . Spending all our money . Charging us for CPZ's etc Can't they rain in their (our)spending a bit and give us some of our money back in these very difficult times?

Virgins speed is ok but they have problems too

Congestion, pollution, delays and dangerous roads that we don't want.

take them up and save lives NOW

"?300 fine" get a life! there are hundreds of them being used all over central London

it's not a "rat run" it's just a street in East Dulwich that enables people to get about without having to clog up the roads that are left in a dangerous and polluting way. stecoward101 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Why can people not understand that access to > Melbourne Grove is still available they (Local > Authority) have simply blocked one way to stop it > being a rat run.

How condescending can you get!! So what quicker mode of transport should I be using?

if they put the barriers half way down the road. And got rid of the new double yellow lines. Maybe more people would use the shops

We should do a protest sit down in the road. Grove Vale or East Dulwich Grove.

here is the plan (answer) make all public transport free. This will encourage people off the road.

Come on guys let's do something to stop it.

i can't believe that some selfish people say the roads are quieter now. Well theirs might be if they are sealed off. But the rest of us that have to live, go to school and drive down the now over congested whats left have to suffer. Thanks

these two were chatting freely and did not appear to have any issues that affect them both and their child was wondering about by himself. (he looked about 12)

so i was in Sainsbury's yesterday at the Argos counter.and a couple with a child were all not wearing a mast WHY? I can understand the child but surely the man and partner don't share the same problem that prevents them both from wearing a mask. It's just rude to others.

i've seen James Barber at cubs (a few years ago) and at Sainsbury's a few times. When is he coming back?

the reason why you wear a mask to to not transmit it to others. So while you are not wearing a mask Jim you could be killing me. So we won't be leading our lives at all.

Bring back James Barber

surely other customers lives are even more important than shoplifters!!

although these closures cause increased pollution with stationary, queuing cars to the two schools in the village. They can't choose to move.

funny how all were able to wear them in French supermarkets!

Just been to Sainsbury's this afternoon and was very surprised to see so many customers NOT wearing face masks. Even more surprising was the amount of staff with their masks under their chins. Just come back from France and all people in shops of any kind wore masks What's going on?
