Sorry - I'm not sure what that's got to do with his views on paving on Lordship Lane.


There is wonderful paving outside of Dulwich Park on Court Lane. Why cant LL have the same upgrade.

Because you accused him of being more interested in looking after Court Lane than Lordship:


> I always think that if JB actually lived near LL

> things might be different - he's happier looking

> after Court Lane than Lordship Lane


so I was pointing out that in my experience, where he's gone out of his way to try to sort an issue not even in his ward, he is not as self-interested or parochial as you seem to imply.

I also think the pavement along Lordship Lane is awful. I've just moved from Peckham to ED and noticed that the pavements are really bad. I tripped the other day on Crawthaw Road and am worried that I could easily trip outside the strip of shops near St Christopher's Hospice.

Part of the issue (it seems to me) is the pavements on the forecourts of local shops which the shop is responsible for, not the bit along the road which the council is responsible for. Any wholesale upgrade of the pavement would/should involve both bits which would be complex to organise. I definitely agree it needs looking at, but I wonder if this is part of why it hasn't happened before now.

The Council can order shops to keep their forecourts in good order - but obviously need to have ideas from local residents/visitors of the problem. Remember some years ago that following a number of complaints, Southwark council ordered a row of shop keepers to repair their forecourts or council would do it for them and charge. The shop keepers/owners failed to follow this through and Southwark did as threaten and charged for the work. Since then, those shop keepers have been more careful.

      Cyclist visibility

      By Angelina · Posted

      If a pedestrian gets hit by a bike, it can be very serious. All it takes is someone not spotting a cyclist coming up at speed.    Clearly, no one wants a collision. so let’s just make it easier to be seen and for everyone to be safe. Bike lights (front and back), helmet lights, reflective strips on your backpack, high visibility clips on the ankles, wrists, lights on your spikes… it’s not hard and it shouldn’t be expensive. I’m just wondering if cyclists haven’t yet adjusted to the darker evenings and don’t actually realise. Perhaps cyclists don’t drive but would benefit from doing so and seeing what it’s like from a drivers point of view.  All cars had lights on.  One of the Boris bikes didn’t, it must have been broken as I thought they were automatic.

      GALA 2026

      The other thing is that the money the council makes from the festival is not spent in the local area, whereas money made from events in other parks are. Renata Hamvas would have to approve any change to the premises licence before the events team can consider a license for the proposal in the current form. There needs to be an organised local pushback this time, to at least stop that second weekend being granted. I am thinking along the lines of a door to door petition. There are local elections next May. Lot's of opportunity to make this an election issue for impacted wards around the park. Just need to be orgaised.

      Dulwich Leisure Centre - cold showers today - update

      yes.. I think it has. I prefered it when Everyone Active had the contract..and an additional benefit was being able to acess other EA gyms across London. Plus I think the equipment in the gym was of better quality.

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      Mad that on a thread about the telegraph (and are we saying they  are a paragon of reporting? Are we?) it just happens to be the bbc and only the bbc copping the flak headnun - I’m not sure your point about despicable people “hanging themselves” holds up in a world where despicable people appear to be taking over in so many places  for too long, these people have been given equal airtime to normal people, creating a false equivalence - the result being a lot of people seem to think “well if one person thinks smoking is bad for you and one person thinks it’s good for you, who am I to say who is right and wrong”
