It's weird. They've been there a few days parking in the disabled bays with their engine idling. Some of them shop8ng at Tesco and coming back.

That's very disappointing. That sign should be listed and have squatters rights. It's iconic. The Malibu one.

The new tax rules don't just apply to farmers. They apply to every single family owned business. If you've created a small family run business and you pass it on when you die your children will have to pay the new inheritance tax. Doesn't matter if its a farm or a clothes shop or a fruit and veg business, all of them are caught.

It doesn't look like it https://www.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-presents?f[0]=check_what_s_on_in_different_areas%3A239

In the old days you used to be able to access the actual Dulwich by turning left there and travelling down eynella road. Someone asked James McAsh to look into updating the sign when they closed those roads to Dulwich and I think he said he'd look into it when he used to visit this website.

What a racket.

They did the same under the Tories though? "The Southwark element of council tax has been increased by 4.99% (2% adult social care precept plus 2.99% local increase) for 2024- 25, being the maximum local council tax increase permitted without breaching the government referendum cap of 5%. 8 Feb 2024"

Hard to understand this when it is always so busy there are people queueing down the road to get in.

Perhaps by putting some comments in there along the lines of your objections. "The document is unclear because it doesn't specifically state that this is a change on policy by the council, effectively banning new loft conversions in the face of statutory permitted development rights. The document should state this clealry in large bold font and highlight how unfair that is and that it is likely to lead to judicial review." I don't know if any of the above is actually correct though.

They should turn into a hostel for homeless people or asylum seekers. You could fit good quality accommodation on that site for four or five hundred refugees.

An alien from another planet may actually surmise that the cyclists of SE London are very problematic ...

Thanks for posting this - very enjoyable commentary. It does highlight a very serious problem round here though of cyclists who have no respect for the law or for other people using the footpaths.

Pretty sure Rollflick has it right. Many of these streets have a CPZ already. This council and this cabinet member have form for reclaiming the streets from evil car owners. I suspect this is another thinly veiled land grab and the result will be less car parking and more new bin storage zones in what used to be the highway.

The motor industry has been supersizing cars for years mostly to comply with EU safety legislation to protect cyclists and pedestrians in low speed collisions.
