Whilst @TurneyBurbage residents associations keep on complaining to @MPSDulwichVllge about children cycling on pavements, they don’t pause to think about why. 🧐 Why don’t children cycle in their road and why are they permitted to cycle on the pavement on Burbage? 🤔 A 🧵 (1/6)

The first physical proof that sections of the ancient route Roman Watling Street survive directly beneath its modern counterpart Old Kent Road has been discovered. The 2000-year-old road ran from the Roman port at Dover (Dubris) through London (Londinium) to the West Midlands,…

Fleet decision-makers are being issued with new drink and drug-driving guidance The number of collisions attributed to drug driving has increased by 170% in less than a decade. Fatalities linked to drug driving increasing by 164% over the same period. fleetnews.co.uk/news/new-drink…

⁉️Children on bikes on pavements are the hot topic for Dulwich residents associations at every Police meeting. ⚠️Never mind the HGVs like PN72HZB and the cars that frequently drive along the pavements of Dulwich. Endangering pedestrians and damaging the pavement.

The dangerous drivers of Dulwich have been at it again smashing up street furniture that has to be paid for by us out of our council taxes. This is not paid for by drivers or their insurance, as the council can’t cost effectively recover. Ashbourne Grove and Townley Rd

⚠️Another morning, and amother motorist blocking the cycle lane with ET11KJU. This time displaying a disabled badge, which doesn’t excuse parking here contrary to Rule 243. 🤔If only there was somewhere safe to park? @MPSDulwichWood

10,056 drivers have more than 12 points on their so-called valid licence. Yet our ‘regulated’ system condones this ⁦@DVLAgovuk⁩ If these drivers were a surgeon or a pilot, would their regulators allow them to carry on with their licence intact? theguardian.com/money/2024/nov…

⁉️Why don’t cyclists use the cycle lane? ⚠️Because entitled drivers can’t help but break rule 243 and block safe access to a cycle lane. ND59HZA on College Road, Dulwich @MPSDulwichWood

More than 50 people have UK driving licences with at least 30 points on them. Three drivers have over 100 points. theguardian.com/money/2024/nov…

This guy: ✅ 41mph in a 30 ✅ Kills someone ✅ Drives off ✅ No prison Charles Allison: ✅ 18mph on a bike (with no brakes) ✅ Kills someone ✖️ Doesn't leave ✅ 18 months prison ✅ Calls to change law to make it easier to send cyclists to prison Make it make sense

In a rare outing for our opinion site, I’ve written about why councils seeking to ban bikes from city centres due to delivery bikes are treating it as a “cycling problem” when it’s actually a law enforcement problem - these are mainly electric mopeds. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Fossil fuel cars: £4Bn subsidy - even as tax on EVs increases - and ££Bn new roads. Walking, wheeling, cycling: £100m between all three - despite being a health and climate investment as well as transport. Buses: fares up. TfL: fares up (for those that pay - mostly workers). 😞

This is why it’s wrong to freeze fuel duty while hiking bus fares by 50%.

the £3 billion annual cost of extending the 5p fuel duty cut is roughly equivalent to the annual fare take of every bus in England — £3.1 billion in 2023. so you could nearly make every bus free for the same cost gov.uk/government/sta…

Poor Standard of Driving In Croxted Rd! I only reported the polo driver for dangerous driving and phone use. #Cycling @DulwichRoads Registration: LA72XFV youtu.be/9SjeNNyiOH8?si… via @YouTube

Out speaking to residents on Gipsy Hill, Grazely Court, Thorsden Way & Oaks Ave today. Lots of concerns about the speeding on Gipsy Hill which we very much share & continue to raise. Some lovely chats with residents - thank you to everyone who took the time to speak! 🌹☀️

Dear @lb_southwark @helenhayes_ Why have the broken street lights still not been fixed at #DulwichVillage ? fixmystreet.com/report/6249356 since July... it's now nearly November @DulwichSociety

Dulwich Village will be closed 6-8 Nov for resurfacing works between Gilkes Pl and the Crown & Greyhound, Turney Rd up to Boxall Rd, and Calton Ave up to Gilkes Crescent. Full details in the notice 👇

This is why you should NEVER react if you are a cyclist who is the victim of dangerous driving, because the police and courts will look for ANY reason they can to excuse the driver's behaviour and make it your fault. road.cc/content/news/n…

Remember that time an SUV driver close passed a cyclist at high speed on a country lane, then reversed back towards them forcing a quad bike rider into a ditch and killing a dog, because the cyclist shouted at them? And then the police blamed the cyclist and let the driver off?
