I suggest that Southwark Events should be active communicating with ward Councillors to withhold support given the lack of licences? Rather indulgent/perverse of Cllrs to support this given the weddings, funerals, events generally that are barred at present.........

Hmmm, a bit confused. There's at least one poster on here who was defending the overnight revellers on Peckham Rye with their sound systems and littering and noise (when other posters were questioning it), yet seems to think a tea dance on a Saturday morning is worth trying to stop.

Inconsistent. Yet consistent.

I suspect it's the new sort of politics where everything is seen through the prism of one argument.


But many politicians seem happy with that.

well there is that too....where all-nighters and littering is just kids being kids.

It's also an offence to wilfully obstructs the free passage along a highway in any way without lawful authority and these events stop people from freely cycling along that road or turning their cars and lorries around as they are entitled to do.

How does having people standing within a blocked off road, one which is closed to motorised traffic but accessible to cyclists and pedestrians stop people turning round lorries????

That is the funniest thread I have seen in a while.


Sadly, but unsuprisingly, the labour councillors are all on board,

so I cannot see turning to them for help being of any help at all.

Despite constantly commenting, it appears you?ve never been to the closure. It?s blocked off at calton, dulwich village and court. It?s not a turning circle. The part where they are standing is no motorised vehicles!

The ideas around streets are changing. If the street is a living space where people can do a mixture of things it is no longer simply a highway with parking space. I know this subject is highly charged and I don't want to add fuel to the fire. But it is worth imagining the way streets could change.


The idea of traffic 'evaporation' is well documented and worth believing in.

And anyone who studied geography will tell you when something evaporates it condenses and then falls as rain elsewhere....which is exactly what these closures cause....

The remainder of these events have now been cancelled due to ?ambiguities?

The legal advice that was sought makes interesting reading

      Lordship Lane Post Office Closure

      By Dulwichway · Posted

      Indeed ianr, I didn't have time to include all Royal Mail options, thanks for that extra bit, they have been spot on for me, I use them a lot and have never had any issues with delivery, touch wood!

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By malumbu · Posted

      People are switching to electric cars irrespective of fuel prices.  100s of millions that could be spent on hospitals and schools for example have been lost due to fuel duty freezes and a supposedly temporary reduction.  Fuel is relatively cheap at the moment.  With a stonking majority when is it time to rightly take on motorists? Farming, I simply referred to Paul Johnson of the IFS who knows more about the economy that you, I and Truss will ever know. Food?  Au contraire.  It's too cheap, too poor quality and our farmers are squeezed by the supermarkets and unnatural desire to keep it cheap.  A lot less takeaways and more home cooking with decent often home produced, food should benefit most in our society. Be honest you do t like Labour.

      In fact there was a promotional leaflet came through the letter box today, for sending by RM's parcel post by buying online.  There are also options mentioned for having the labels printed  at a Collect+ store or at a Parcel Locker.  More info at https://www.royalmail.com/.

      Is it? Let's see  Farming is a tough gig with increasingly lower returns, if farms have to sell off land to pay inheritance tax it will reduce their ability to survive. Which in real terms could mean more farm land lost and more reliance on imported food which sees money flowing out, not in to the country.  But I guess as long as you get cheap food that doesn't concern you 😉  Lol "what about the cars"  again Mal... like a broken record....  Governments know that squeezing car drivers for more fuel duty will drive down income from taxes as people switch to electric, which would leave them with a black hole in income. Guess the fuel duty is a fine balancing act tiĺl enough electric cars have been sold to raise tax revenue from their use.
