It would also be good if you could answer the critique levelled at your views rather than change the subject.

I passed by a long queue outside Tessa Jowell this morning that extended round to Melbourne Grove

Here we go again, the implication that anyone who criticises the arguments put forward by those opposed to LTNs are elitist and/or living within one of the closed roads. Speaking personally, walking and public transport, including buses, is my only means of travel

Data would have been collected in the same way before installation of LTNs so I don?t see what difference that would make.

I repeat, they are not moving in an upward trajectory. Let readers of the forum decide for themselves https://www.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/77415/Bus-Journey-Times_Dulwich-Streetspace_Sept-2021.pdf BTW your snideness and mythologising is not doing you any favours.

No most are not on an upward trend. Whilst some showed a steep upward trend in July which could have occurred for all manner of reasons, with the exception of Croxted Road northbound they had normalised by August/September. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/77415/Bus-Journey-Times_Dulwich-Streetspace_Sept-2021.pdf

Deleted as Goldilocks responded far more knowledgeably than me

In very simple terms: Before LTNs 100 cars travel east from Townley Road 20 of these cars turn into Melbourne Grove 80 cars travel along eastern end EDG to LL After LTNs 100 cars travel east from Townley Road None of these cars can turn into Melbourne Grove so 100 cars travel on eastern section of EDG There has been no increase in number of cars Townley Road to Melbourne Grove But an increase of 20 cars I.e. 20% for the section of road from Melbourne to LL Which explains an increase in only one section of the road

Cross edit!

?Traffic doesn't disappear from ED Grove halfway..that if it is 25% up on one section it doesn't just disappear in the middle section - it might slow down and idle. This is why the count is so dubious. Explain - where do those extra 1000 cars go?? Given that previously a lot of EDG traffic would turn into Melbourne, Derwent etc, or join EDG from these roads, now those options are not available it?s perfectly logical that just the section leading into LL would see a higher increase. Far from pointing to the count being dubious, it indicates trends that might be expected.

As Penguin has explained, the rise in value of a property itself is irrelevant when setting council tax as it is the comparison and differential between different types of property that determines which council tax band a property falls into. So it means a five bedroom property with a garden, garage etc will fall into a higher council tax band than a one bedroom flat on the second floor with sliding scales for properties in between. The increased value of a property within the last 30 years is immaterial as it is the differential between different types of property that is taken into account. I fully agree that the council needs more money for all kinds of things which are being neglected currently (which in my view should come from central government) but your suggestion of raising council tax in line with increased property valuations would mean implementing a totally different system of setting council tax than the one we have now and far from straight forward.

?The area has been a centre of gentrification, yet the council services have not kept pace, and in many cases declined. IMO, if councils want to deliver quality services and residents want improvements, we have to reasses property values to the current values in 2021. How is it fair otherwise for anyone to complain about services?? Any increased revenue raised by Southwark by these means will not be ringfenced to be spent on keeping the streets of Dulwich clean. It will be used to meet the needs of the more vulnerable in the Borough.

Thanks Monica. Good for you and good for East Dulwich

?I pay approx ?100 a month and surely that covers more than having bins emptied and for streets lights? Yes of course it does, it pays for services that are essential for others but which you may not have any need of at present. These services include: * social services * education * housing * parks * libraries It?s not a question of getting your money?s worth but of the council also having the resources to provide services to the less well off and those less able to fend for themselves. I feel I may be feeding a troll in posting this but such an attitude of entitlement needs countering.

Returning to the subject of e-scooters, Kings has reported 196 cases of injuries incurred by e-scooters in 2020. https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/growing-number-of-e-scooter-injuries-a-concern-top-kings-surgeon/?fbclid=IwAR10Na3Pb8zlqmssP2-TwXSsRTkY-wIn5LBXPCOU0CtN6ZEmVNwc4nfjbXU

They were on in North Cross Road last night. I think they?re switched on on December 1 each year

There was a time when someone had added the missing apostrophe with felt tip in the sign for Lovers Walk, Dulwich Village.

Gardenman is delivering again this year. The tree he delivered to me last year was beautiful /forum/read.php?30,2247060,2247060#msg-2247060

?The Gardens has removed the functionality to contact them online via website or via app, for patient issues.? I believe their econsult service is still up and running? I?m not with The Gardens but have used it with my surgery and have found it very good. Would recommend https://www.thegardenssurgery.co.uk/econsult

The Christian holiday of Christmas generally overlaps with the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, hence the more inclusive Happy Holidays. Nothing to do with Thanksgiving. 🎶?Monica, Monica have a happy Hanukkah?🎵🎵
