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.

If the harassment and abuse is persistent it might also be worth considering whether you can get a restraining order as a pre-cursor to having the neighbour arrested and imprisoned for continually breaching it?

It's not just the volume of traffic, it's also the weight. All the new electric cars people buy are 50% heavier than petrol cars. A Tesla saloon weighs nearly two tons, more than most of the metaphorical 2 ton metal box ICE SUVs that environmentalists get so angry about. The majority of EVs weigh more, closer to two and a half tons. The Volvo EX90 weighs almost three tons. All these "clean" cars are having huge impact on the built environment.

I have had some (very limited) correspondence since they closed via [email protected] (originally addressed to [email protected]). Worth emailing both and seeing what comes back I would say

It's no longer limited to the council The government now are also doing all sorts of things they told people thst they wouldn't. There's a lot more pain and broken promises to come locally and nationally. One day the scales might fall from voters eyes

One more term coincides with the timing of the new Labour Party VAT regime on school fees.

What a liberty. It makes it so hard to park a a 4x4 across the curb on that corner.

That looks very good.

Howbold os that image? It looks like you can see the outline of the gala festival footprint in the bottom section.
