CPZ in Dulwich Village ward to go live on January 6

[first mate]

Or to put it another way, CPZ revenue is used to fund LTNs as well as other things. The two are interlinked, something that up until very recently you denied. Why? 

It is you that keeps mentioning a conspiracy, I haven't. Another attempt to deflect and misrepresent?

You didn't read my last post. Read it again.

[first mate]

Loving your attempts to rewrite your take on all this Earl.

"Road safety and public realm improvements would include things like filtered streets, bike lanes, expanded pedestrian spaces etc."

Yes, it is. If you read my previous post I have listed some of the ways it can be used.

The use of any surplus that results from parking is strictly governed by legislation and is tightly controlled. It can only be used for activities specified in Section 55 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (as amended). These activities include:

• public realm improvements
• road safety initiatives
• freedom passes for disabled people and people over 60

(👆🏾this one)

Road safety and public realm improvements would include things like filtered streets, bike lanes, expanded pedestrian spaces etc.

 

...and again, this is a thread about CPZ. Not an LTN introduced 4 years ago. Not about someone being annoyed they got caught in a bus lane.

And again, CPZ, and LTNs are interlinked. Maybe bus lane violations also help fund LTNs?

The DV LTN has improved safety how and for who?

We now have multiple threads about an individual having got caught driving in a bus lane and how this is not a consequence of their actions, but somehow a Southwark Council conspiracy.

...it's rather embarassing.

[first mate]

No, that is your misrepresentation.

Do answer my question as to how DV LTN has improved safety?

I've addressed this on the LTN thread.

The council cannot introduce a CPZ for the purposes of generating income. If you think that this is what they're doing, then you should make a complaint to the Local Government & Social Care Ombudsman.

Yet any revenue surplus they do raise can be used on projects like LTNs.....hmmmmmm...seems like there might be a loophole appearing there.....do you not see the issue here? Why on earth have revenues increased so massively over the last few years from fines etc and the council seemingly trying to force revenue generating CPZs on everyone whether they want it or not?

Do you not see the disconnect from your position and the action of the council? Generating revenue from these measures seems to be a huge priority - they aren't doing that for the sake of it?

By the way does anyone know what the Environment Reserve gets spent on? That's a huge chunk of the revenue generated from CPZs/PCNs etc.

I’m not sure (so stand to be corrected), but I think it’s an investment pot to fund projects tackling the impacts of climate change over the next decade or two. If you email your councillor I’m sure they could give you more info.

[first mate]

What about community and housing?

[Rockets]

If anyone has any clue what the Environment Reserve is spent on that would be good to know as £6m is a bit chunk of cash and when I looked at the full accounts for the council I could find detail on a lot of the reserves but not the environment one.
