When are the council going to start clearing all the other obstructions off the pavements like peoples bins, overgrown hedges, fly tipped rubbish, litter, broken glass and all the dog shit everywhere. These bikes are a nuisance, sure, but they also have some utility, unlike all the other detritus the council seem quite happy to ignore.

Is it the Labour Council or the Labour mayor you are calling a halfwit? The South Circular is a TFL road and I think Croxted Road is governed by Southwark council.

Looks very nice indeed. Cant wait to try this.

Our local councillors don't seem to engage with anyone locally at all any more on any forum. They've given up here, their newsletter hasn't been updated for many months, you never see them in the area and it makes me wonder they actually do for us at all. I wish we still had James Barber looking out for us tbh

Looks the fee for renting out your own home is actually £900, not 600

Maybe it's because of this. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12111087/amp/Sadiq-Khan-admits-low-traffic-neighbourhoods-arent-perfect-need-REMOVING-London.html There's a photo of Melbourne Grove in the rogue's gallery. Hopefully they'll row back on some of the local ones here although I think the councillors are to proud to ever admit a mistake round here. This is shameful, and presumably includes the roads in East Dulwich: "The Times reported it had asked DfT to supply evidence that LTNs reduced distance driven but it could not provide any."

So will they keep both shops or will something replace the flower shop? And what will go in Frogley Rd?

No thanks

Yeah they should ban all the people and kids and all their dogs too, as well as cars from the area. We don't want that here. Buses and bus-passers-through only from now on.

This thread should be in the bin section of the Lounge. It stopped being funny a long time ago.

Deleted - Wrong thread

Did anything happen here?

These are excuses, not reasons. Put the unmanipulated raw data up and let people figure it out for themselves.

The second dirtiest trick the Council played in the ED consultation was to ask something like "If your street voted against a CPZ but the neighbouring roads had a CPZ put in, would you then like a CPZ in your road?" Answering yes to that question is treated as "Yes I'd like a CPZ in any circumstance". You have to say no to that question and hold the line!

There's no reason why they shouldn't publish all their data all the time. That way people could see how truly congested all our roads and that would actually prompt people to use more active travel measures. If the private school parents got a li e daily picture of how much pollution they were generating every day right next to their children's classrooms it might shock them into changing their behaviour

Mr Chicken, have you considered changing your name to Mr Sealion? It would suit you better.

Another great successful effort by the cuclists to have a car discussion lounged. Well done .

According to the council accounts Highways and parking reserves (cash held in the bank by the council) increased from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022 by £5,846,000 from £1,852,000. That means that this time last year they were sitting on £7,698,000 of our money. But it seems that just isn't enough money for them and now they are taking more from you if need to use your own car.

"Roads are paid for by council tax" Not round here. Sputhwark make so much profit from taxing motorists that they actually struggle to keep up with the income. There is a huge surplus for roads.

It's more scummy price gouging of local people from the mean council that we pay to serve us.

Those residents will just leave if you attack them so. I think the childless singletons on the council have no idea what it's like living round here trying to provide your child with a rounded upbringing. The families will just move further out though where they can own a car (however cheap and old - another point of attack from the council and the Mayor) and access services and facilities which this Borough puts out of reach of normal people. It's already happened elsewhere in Southwark. Shiny new flats are purpose built for renty overseas landlords replacing estates built for families, causing closures of schools and dentists and GP surgeries and local shops. And none of those landlords ever buy a parking permit.

I've been to Hisar recently and it was very poor. Way below the standards it used to meet.

[quote]The residents parking system was not introduced in order to reduce local car ownership but to reduce outsiders coming in and parking[/unquote] This was an obvious lie that 68% of respondents at the tine saw through. The CPZs were introduced here primarily as a stealth tax that could be increased at will year on year and secondarily as a Marxist plot to banish private car ownership. The other comparable is having a garden. The council don't like people owning their own private gardens so introduced the garden waste stealth tax too.

I think there are loads more children here now than there were even 5 years ago. Some new houses have been built on the site of various old pre fab bungalows. There's been lots of infill housing built around Friern and Barry Roads. Lots of new houses going up where the Audi garage used to be. About 15 new flats went up in the space above the old House of Tippler. And there're been various other new apartment buildings like the Old Police Station and the Tribeca and the block on Ferris Road. Many new houses all over tbf.
