When you look back at Rye Lane on streetview the oldest images date back to 2008 mostly and to 2012 in parts. There was no graffiti or closed down shops at all then. It looks like a pleasant, clean and thriving high street, and the arcade around the station looks much better. What has happened to it in the last 20 years? https://maps.app.goo.gl/mfaUkdzG4qZVYxFMA And the state of it most recently https://maps.app.goo.gl/ecVHvh6UwsoBt1uu6

Any chance that he will now be prevented from further meddling with our car parking?

It will look like that for about ten minutes. After that it will look the new build apartments and shops that went in at the other end of rye lane. Abandoned and covered in graffiti tags.

Are you sure? A lot of dog owners seem to be. They can't even remember to pick up their own dogs s**te off the floor.

A well drafted FOI request could answer some of these questions.

Anyone using any of this stuff? It all looks quite expensive.

I think it's a wonderful way to write up a very dull story about a bunch of non entities tbf.

Yes, the cabinet leader has to be an elected councillor. Losing your council seat means losing the leadership (but Southwark often doles out a massive loss of office payment so it's not all bad news).

Time to ban dog ownership altogether. It's a cruel hobby that is very bad for the environment.

Maybe point them to the extensive flood alleviation works the council has just spent a fortune installing in the park next to Barry Road? Copy in the council so they can provide evidence of the efficacy of the scheme they purchased for us .

They've managed quite well without destroying this bit of green belt. I think they should stay where they are. We don't need any more houses here. East Dulwich is fine as it is.

You might be right. I have a memory of street performers on a warm sunny day in Lordship Lane, but maybe it was the Xmas Cracker and it was just one of those stunning Decmber days where the sun is very bright in blue skies and 15*C feels warm for Winter

I think 200k is a lot less than they are going to spend replacing the rotten wooden play equipment in goose green park. It seems a small sum of money in this context. Very kind of Earl to offer to pay for it. Thank you Earl!

If they're not supposed to be riding there they should take responsibility for the consequences when it goes wrong.
