Closed because it's another traffic one - Admin


As a result of the recent LTN and permeable filters off Lordship Lane, the traffic has increased to unbearable levels. As a cyclist myself, I am all for the measures to encourage safe active travel, however, I think the approach that has been taken is far from equitable. It is simply not fair that residents of Lordship Lane are now forced to suffer from idling traffic at all hours of the day. Lordship Lane has always been dangerous for cyclists as vehicles frequently exceed the 20mph speed limit which is not enforced.


I am having difficulty understanding how this traffic will ever decrease, there are members of our society who rely on a motor vehicle for travel & as (almost) all of the roads into the Village are now closed, there are no alternative routes for this traffic to take.


Is there anything that can be done to campaign for a more fair approach to reducing pollution in the area? Lordship Lane seems to have been ignored in all of the proposals. This is bringing misery to the lives of residents and businesses, not to mention the children of Harris Academy Primary School on Lordship Lane.

By 'permeable filters off Lordship Lane' do you mean every road suddenly closed off by boulders and barriers to cars and motorcyclists?


Southwark must be wasting so much money with their signage. The green ones state obviously that the roads can be passed by pedestrians and cyclists.

One Dulwich is campaigning for a more equitable approach: https://www.onedulwich.uk/


This is the Southwark Streetspace Comments page. This is where the council is asking those (both in favour and against) to comment: https://eastdulwichstreetspace.commonplace.is/


It might also be worth writing to the following councillors:

    • As a result of the Horizon scandal it now seems very clear that the Post Office management are highly disingenuous and not be trusted!  There needs to be a campaign launched to challenge the threatened closure, unless the Post Office can demonstrate beyond doubt that the branch is loss making - and even then it could argued that better management could address this. I hope the local media take this up and our MP  and a few demonstrations outside wouldn’t do any harm. Bad publicity can be very effective!         
    • Unlikely. It would take a little more than a bit of Milton to alter the pH of eighty-odd thousand gallons of water.
    • It actually feels as though what I said is being analytically analysed word by word, almost letter by better. I really don't believe that I should have to explain myself to the level it seems someone wants me to. Clearly someones been watching way too much Big Brother. 
    • Sadly they don't do the full range of post office services
