Your Action Needed

Dear all,

Six key issues that need your urgent action this week:

1) Register for the May review

If you haven?t already done so, please register for the May review of the current Dulwich LTNs.

Our report on ?Who closed Dulwich Village junction??, which looks at an earlier review in 2019, raises serious concerns about the Council?s ability to run a public consultation. The process was poor, data was misrepresented, and there is evidence of bias and selective reporting. You can read our News report here.

We hope the new review will be fair and transparent. When the Council finally publishes its plans, we?ll analyse the structure of the consultation ? and any published data ? and share our thoughts with you, in case this is useful before you fill in your response.

2) Where has all the traffic gone?

A good visual summary of local traffic displacement can be seen here. Please watch and share.

3) Urgent: your written objections by 16 May

Now is the time to make your formal written objections to the Streetspace ETOs on Burbage Road, Dulwich Village, Townley Road and Turney Road that came into force on 16 November. You might want to question the 24/7 closures that gave rise to them, or object to the length and/or timing of the restrictions, safety concerns, or the way these measures have displaced traffic. Please send your objections to [email protected] quoting the reference TMO2021-EXP16_LSP Dulwich 2. As always, you can copy in the decision-maker [email protected], [email protected] and, if you?d like to, [email protected].

4) The Dulwich Society?s future policy

We hear that the Dulwich Society ? regularly consulted by the Council on all Dulwich issues ? will hold a Special General Meeting on 28 June to discuss its policy on travel and environment. How will the Society position its response to the review in the light of this discussion? If you?re a Dulwich Society member (annual fee ?10 per household), please put this date in your diary: more details from [email protected].

5) Posters and leaflets

We have teamed up with the Dulwich Alliance to produce leaflets (see www.dulwichalliance.org) and posters objecting to the current road closures. If you?d like to display a poster in your window, please contact [email protected] for more details.

6) Please contribute to the fighting fund

As part of the Dulwich Alliance, One Dulwich is delighted to see that donations to the fighting fund to produce campaign leaflets and posters, and to progress legal advice, have now reached ?12,000. Thank you! Please continue to spread the word.

Contact us with queries, offers of help, or new information, via [email protected].

Best wishes and thanks again for your support,

Despite other communications claiming that they really are terribly committed to reducing pollution and congestion, and their deep-seated interest in BAME communities, when it comes to actions it wants people to take: it's all about reopening roads to cars and opposing every aspect of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods.

With their Ulster Says No approach to compromise and their repurposing of "All Lives Matter" to "All Streets Matter", One Dulwich is not doing itself many favours.

[Sparrowhawk]

Everyone?s entitled to an opinion, but Dogkennelhillbilly it?d take you 30 seconds on the One Dulwich website to see that compromise is exactly what they?re after - ?One Dulwich supports area-wide timed restrictions (after consultation with the local community on hours of restriction, access, and location of entry/exit points) as a more proportionate, and more socially just, solution.?

And again disagree if you like, but I know a number of prominent One Dulwich members and can only observe that IMO they are indeed primarily driven by social justice. Many are Labour voters (possibly LibDem at the margins) and are totally furious that a Labour-led council could have enacted such a socially regressive, ill thought out policy and done it in such a partisan manner with such poor democratic accountability. Many actually live on the affluent DV roads that ?benefit? from reduced traffic (i.e. at the expense of poorer neighbours) and are far from regular car-drivers but are genuinely looking beyond narrow self-interest. Trying to defame them with bizarre references to Ulster politicians is hilariously misjudged.

Oh great. The ever multiplying number of LTN threads are now leaking from the General section into the lounge.

[malumbu]

I'm happy to help, gardening, small building work, cycle maintenance. Is this what the thread is about?

Similarly enjoying all these threads. Rocks, what do you think?

[Earl Aelfheah]

I think we only need someone to create 1 more thread on this topic and we'll be in to double digits. At the current rate of growth we should be looking at a name change to 'the LTN ranting forum' by the end of this month.

@Sparrowhawk

Whatever their make up, One Dulwich's action plan is totally ineffective.

It looks like a wishy washy compromise strategy generated by a committee of intellectuals who are afraid to come to a decision. No plan , no leadership and no hope.

They seem to be all jaw-jaw and there is no evidence out on the street of any outcome.

Nothing in the media.

Nothing on display.

Nothing in terms of activism.

Compare what they have done with what other Burroughs have done and they are nowhere near.

No plan, no leadership and no hope.
