So, some apologies are due here to the previous management.

This is another survey that you can't complete at all unless you agree to the council harvesting your data. There is no option to opt of data collection if you want to proceed with the survey. I'm not sure how they square that with GDPR.

It's also pretty disgraceful that you can't complete the survey at all unless you agree to the council harvesting your data. There is no option to opt of data collection if you want to proceed with the survey I'm not sure how they square that with GDPR??

Maybe it's time the council started charging these people rent for each of the carparking spaces taken uo by their dropped curbs at the premium rate their supercars justify. Why should those multimillionaire get to drive over our pavements and park for free while forcing all the peasants to pay for parking on the road?

What an absolute joke this survey is. How can they possibly expect people to swallow the myth that there is parking pressure on roads like Calton Avenue or Gilkes Crescent when literally every single house on those roads has a car park in front of it with space for at least two cars? They must think people are so stupid.

They need our money to cover the tens of thousands of pounds (sometimes more than £100,000 for a single business) a year they give to the council as business rates. I wonder what value for money the local businesses feel they get for that.

Sorry to hear that KK. No one deserves that kind of abuse in their own home. I hope the police and the council can put a stop to this and give these people the help they need.

And would we get a rebate on our council tax too?

The evidence is all over east dulwich! also If you look on east dulwich Road there are two signs up at the park complaining that the road has not been swept for four months. That's the middle of summer when there were no leaves.

Do you think there'll be another one of these meetings in January to celebrate all the amazing achievements this year and to plan for the year ahead? I see some Bah Humbug has put signs up around Goose Green itself complaining that the streets haven't been swept for four months. They should be invited to the next one of these meetings to find out how much effort our councilors are putting in.

That's because Southwark council don't collect your garden waste. £40 in 2022 to £80 next year. Think I'll just get a bigger green bin amd putthe garden waste in there. Leaves from council trees that they don't bother sweeping will get dumped in the middle of their road.

Watch live here: youtube.com/watch?v=4q6gsmnTOi4 You can rewind that link too to see how it started. It's pretty shocking tbh.

750,000 new people (net) arrived in the country this year. We need to build homes to house these people. The school and the railway line are already overlooked by a timber yard. A timber yard that has massive lorries going up and down a road to it that is already there. Get on and build I say. Or not. Fewer homes means higher prices for homeowners like me.

I've read it thanks and added the bit you left out - traffic down inside LTNs, traffic up on boundary roads.

So traffic down inside the LTN, traffic up on the boundary roads. Something we all knew already and something that was entirely foreseeable. These are some of the words Earl left out where he put that ellipsis in his quote... "Specifically, this study found substantial reductions in motor traffic within scheme areas, while across boundary roads there was very little aggregate change (+0.7% mean average compared to background trends). "

I genuinely don't understand how people are still surprised that the Labour Party want to tax and spend. It's all they've ever done.

What sort of things do they sell there?

It looks like the Dulwich Society did object alongside a whole host of nimby boomers who are scared witless by progress and change. Also looks like there were no issues from Southwark in the preapplciation consultation so it seems it's come down entirely to the public objections.

The most insulting part of that for me was them telling the residents that if they insisted on a Councillor answering their complaints they'd have to come back when the relevant person came back from adoptive leave. No one else was prepared to look into it and come to the meeting to help them.

The people who live here, and the people who work here in our shops and cafes and pubs and restaurants. There are lots of very genuine caring people everywhere here.

Heh at the pavements as the first item. This must be a troll thread. The pavements are literally covered in dog shit, they get cleaned only once every three months, there is litter and detritus all over them, the have pot holes and cracked slabs and whole streets made of tarmac which sticks to your shoes in summer and cracks with frozen water in winter and mostly has tree roots growing through. The ones that are lucky enough to still have a public bin on them (barely any these days) are also covered in rubbish strewn all over by the foxes rats and pigeons that the council don't seem to do much about. The pavements are a hazard. If they are really one of the first positives for the council then we are truly screwed.

That review from Andy Hayler is exceptional. All he does is travel the world reviewing the very best restaurants. He's one of the finest restaurant critics there is and his praise is not easily won. To receive such an excellent review from him is wonderful. The team at Kokum must be very pleased with that and it is well deserved.

Do you have a link to that scrutiny session video please? I can't see it on the usual YouTube channel. Many thanks.

Every day I trust them less and less...

What Ford say is utterly irrelevant tbh. They haven't made a car in the UK for over 20 years and never will make one here again. In fact they sacked 20% of their work force here earlier this year and have plans to sack twice as many again in the next two years. They make their cars in Turkeyi and Spain so who cares what they say.
