3 people having difficulties with the online form does not equal a conspiracy theory.

An interesting piece on the proliferation of SUVs on our streets and the worrying impacts, particularly on road safety. https://voice.cymru/an-epidemic-how-the-car-industry-flooded-our-streets-with-suvs/

When I travel on the bus with my children we count the number of cyclists and frame it positively. So many people are travelling whilst doing exercise, freeing up road space for those who perhaps can’t. All without causing pollution. Saying that, it is hard when you’re travelling by bus not to notice the high level of drivers distracted by their mobile phones. I always think it would be a good way for the police to do some targeted enforcement.

The proposals free the space up for customer parking. Space which at the moment can be blocked all day.

Lordship Lane is excluded from the proposals. Can’t see the businesses there being against proposals that offer additional customer parking at the end of every road adjoining Lordship Lane. Would be a bit short-sighted if so.

No, that’s not what the map is suggesting. Parking is retained, suggest you have a more detailed look at the plans.

With a legal e-bike it is.

Let’s not turn this into another anti-cycling thread.

5 new pedestrian crossings is a pretty awesome win for pedestrians.

Worth reporting to Lime, they’re very quick to respond.

This looks great. Southwark seems to be on a roll, especially when it comes to adding new zebra crossings - five proposed in this scheme alone! Improved bus journey times and public realm improvements by the school. A lot to like.

Ha ha I’m clutching at straws, you’re the one still fighting against a scheme that was made permanent years ago 😜

Presume you’re referring to the majority of a self-selecting sample whipped up by Richard Aldwinkle/One Dulwich to respond to a consultation. This is not the same as ‘the majority of people’. You must accept that? Most people (in fact, the majority) aren’t motivated to respond, which would suggest they don’t have strong views either way.

Pretty sure you have no idea what the majority want.

Wait til you hear about cars!

Always with the excuses for poor driving…the earlier photos of bad parking have nothing to do with CPZs and everything to do with inconsiderate drivers.

Perhaps Sainsburys could repurpose just a small % of the high number of car parking spaces for hire E-bikes. It’s clearly an increasingly popular way to travel.

Dodgy parking by drivers is a real problem, which existed long before the CPZ, despite you previously stating there were no problems before. It’s a good thing that Southwark is tackling it.

Again, surely any safety improvement is an odd thing to be against? Blocking the tactile paving is a major problem for people who are blind or visually impaired. (Photos from Clean Air Dulwich & Dulwich Roads Twitter/X)

Improving sightlines which increases safety for everyone is a really odd thing to be against.

100% behind this. It’s a disgrace that so many people’s bus journeys are delayed because of parked cars blocking the bus lane.

To be fair, the holes had mostly been filled yesterday and it looks as though they will be resurfacing today. It’s less than 2 years since there were repairs at the same place, hopefully this time it will last longer!

Don’t believe everything you hear - the Greek restaurant on Melbourne Grove was converted into residential many years before the road was changed and I’m pretty sure the secondhand clothes shop is still there. There’s also what appears to be lots of new thriving businesses - Art K looks like it’s very popular, as well as the new Reformer Pilates studio. The coffee shop, Nido and Drop Dulwich are great additions too.

East Dulwich Grove is currently closed to a Thames Water leak also, with diversions for the 37 and 42.

If you’re concerned about road danger - especially at this location on Lordship Lane where drivers speeding is a problem - I’d recommend emailing [email protected] and cc your local councillors https://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/mgFindMember.aspx?
