Fireworks aren't loud at all any more.

It's obviously not time to move on in any way whatsoever. The council physically imposed this disaster 2 years ago and they are still making "improvements" this month. It's an absolute shit show that needs to be called out. Its worse than that though because they had been planning the closures long before they implemented them, so the continuing failures are as a result of years of pudding headed planning.

Crystal Palace Road never used to be chocka in the morning until they closed the roads of East Dulwich Grove. All the additional traffic that generated on Lordship Lane pushed more cars onto our road. It's supposed to be the cycle spine but it's actually safer cycling on Lordship Lane now.

They are painting a bicycle lane in at Dulwich Village Square which should solve all problems henceforth, forever.

I'm pretty sure that if you phone 111 you end up getting out through to Seldoc most of the time. There have been a few occasions where I've called 111 for the kids and ended up being triaged by one of the hospitals and then called back by Seldoc. I'm not sure what happens if you don't live in East Dulwich or even Southwark, though. Maybe that is the problem you are having Malumbu

Foxtons are definitely moving ... there's someone in the old Jacksons estate agents right now near Chener books sticking up a "Coming Soon" banner inside the window for a new Foxtons.

I guess this guy has given up on the forum.

I wouldn't count your chickens yet Iain. This council quite often says one thing in public and then does something else behind closed doors in Tooley St, and on a number of occasions recently have gone against quite overwhelming popular responses to consultations, especially when it comes to roads and transport.

So you can campaign for road closures?

A rather inauspicious start to the new regime last night.

Was there not a local campaign against the redevelopment of the Ailsham Centre? If you could get those people on board with opposing these changes they could highlight the issue to an already interested mailing list

Which particular councillor do you think is responsible for this scheme then DKHB??

It's also not entirely clear that it is the actual Councillors who come up with all of these hair brained ideas. What if the consultation was dreamt up by some unelected cycling fanatic with a vendetta against south london who is employed by the council permanently???

Hello James Do you happen to know whether Southwark Council engages the services of J Devine Civil Engineering (or Devine Group Civil Engineering) at all please? Many thanks

Wider pavements = more space for rotting rubbish and all the other detritus that was left there during lockdown.

I've managed to speak to them and for some reason y account was not shown as being registered for Direct Debit at the 1 April 2022 (even though they have been collecting payments by DD from the same account for about 10 years). So they sent out an email that i never received at the beginning of June asking me to claim the rebate. That has now expired so they are going to have to send a post office voucher out by post instead. If you haven't received any correspondence or cash it's worth calling them.

Thank I've filled this out though no doubt I will be ignored as I don't live in one of the listed roads. I think the whole area is much improved and much safer with two way traffic (would keep the public transport restrictions though).

Thanks Callie. Southwark's website says that "We have now paid all eligible residents living in properties banded A - D who set up their Direct Debit payment before 1 April 2022." However, I haven't received my payment . They also say "We have now contacted all eligible residents to invite them to apply for a payment directly to their bank account." However, I haven't been contacted either. Is anyone else in this situation? I am trying to contact them but it is obviously hopeless with all of their team being busy helping other customers.

I still haven't had my rebate. I pay by DD monthly (have done for years) and have had no correspondence from the council at all. Their website now says: I can't see anyway to get in contact with them though and I haven't had an invite. Is anyone else in the same situation?

Cancelling trains just means more people in cars Malumbu, which is worse for the climate if they aren't electric cars. We saw that in the Covid pandemic and the local Labour administration spent many futile millions of pounds diverting traffic away from a select few roads and the London wide Labour administration singularly failed to get people back out of their cars and onto trains by not doing anything whatsoever to get teh trains back up to the old levels of service. and then to make things worse the national Labour party supported train strikes a couple of weeks ago which encouraged people back into their cars and away from the railways.

It's also important to point that this behaviour is not civil disobedience it is criminal damage. ETA : There are also criminal offences of tampering with a motor vehicle and vehicle interference under the Road Traffic Act.

You've been completely pwnnd there Peter.

Yes she was very unlucky moving in next door to such people.

It's criminal, Peter. I'm glad your child was OK. But this isn't helped by local councillors obstructing justice and then bragging about it on here and elsewhere. People used to respect the law, and campaign to change it if it was wrong, not take justice into their own hands If we accept vigilantes going round stopping deportations and vandalising cars the what's next for them?
