I don't think you can really describe the Dulwich Society transport sub-committee, chaired by an award winning LCC activist of the year, as truly apolitical? Weren't a number of those committee sessions also attended and supported by incumbent Labour Councillors?

Never happened. I've never actually name-checked any individual.

Apologies if I got this wrong but I thought you were naming one person quoted in the media in relation to One Dulwich - apologies if that was someone else. You have thought, more than once, suggested failed Conservative candidates might be the ones behind it.

The Dulwich Society, as a community-based, well-run apolitical organisation, does publish transparent accounts of who they are and what they are up to.

Is this not the very crux of the issue: parts of The Dulwich Society are no longer apolitical. You started the discussion way back last year by trying to convince everyone that people were trying to hijack the Society EGM/AGM. This peaked interested in what was happening and it seems the transport sub-committee had become massively politicised.

So much so that Dulwich Society had to state that the transport sub-committee did not speak in behalf of DS as they were becoming increasingly vocal about their support for the DV LTN.

Then you look at some of the people now involved in the sub-committee, how they got elected to their positions, the attendance of our local councillors and the responses to your original post from others with knowledge of what had been happening. Marry that with the repeated redaction (at the request of someone) of the name of the sub-committee chair when linking them to their active travel lobbying efforts and it doesn't take a genius to work out what might have been happening here. Some, myself included, think there has been a coordinated political effort to influence the Dulwich Society transport sub-committee to support the council's agenda.

So really you bleating on and on about who is behind OneDulwich pales into insignificance when you start looking in to what has been happening in the supposed "apolitical" Dulwich Society. That's where the real story seems to be.

    • I was at both meetings. Frankly I think there's little point to them. Gala's licence was granted in perpetuity, they make all the right noises but they are totally disinterested in the problems and damage they inflict. The map fails to include the area of park which will be set aside for a Lime bike parking area which is to be expanded this year and the area used for the Park run start/finish is within the new expanded footprint. They said there were no plans to cut down any trees BUT one has been felled near the pedestrian gate in Colyton road which would obstruct the proposed HGV track. A replacement has been planted a few metres away but that doesn't excuse cutting down a beautiful established tree. Agree that the ecological survey is utterly worthless as are a lot of other statements in the consultation documents. The 21 day timeframe doesn't include loss of space due to remedial works or the fencing off for reseeded grass to grow...which is destroyed again less than a year later. The bund and meadow planting will be inside the boundary fencing. I doubt it will survive unscathed. .

    • Have you got a cat carrier?  If not, contact me when you next see it and I will try to help.  If you can put food down behind Superdrug then it will, hopefully, keep returning.
    • Not sure if this is relevant, depending on the cause of the cracks, but I read recently that scientists have now invented a self-healing road surface, such that cracks and potholes will no longer appear (assuming I understood it correctly!). Don't know how long it will take before it comes into use, though.
