Great! Laptop and air pods will be the job

Hi all,

I think it’s a bit strange that there isn’t an online option for joining the meetings. Is anyone else interested in an online option?

Hey all, I’ve found where the minutes will be uploaded if you’re interested.

And online surgeries please!

An opportunity has been lost to extend the Santander Cycles scheme into more of South London instead leaving it to the wild west of private bike hire companies. Lime and Forest are allowed to trade in Lewisham but are more expensive than the TfL bikes.


Let’s hope there is another loss for ...

Hey, since Mandami got elected in NY I’m beginning to question is Sadiq Khan. Is he a dilettante in power to keep the status quo? I’ve been waiting for proper cycle hire here for years and now I believe it is his lack of ambition to change anything outside of zone 2. Has he done anything notable?

It’s not impossible. It was the lack of will

Hi Stuart, I’m happy to tick the box to post. I’m grateful we have a bot less place for real discussions thanks to you and the team! The rest of the internet seems like a miserable hateful place full of misinformation and deceit.

Maybe the fact that you get logged out when replying or can't make a new account on the site might have something to do with it? I posted about the account creation issue a while ago but had no reply to that either.

Cycle lanes on Mayo Road to Forest Hill would be significantly improve cycling here

There is no room for a cycle lane. If you can stump up the money to buy land for a cycle lane then that would be a good idea. There is a safer route available to you using Addington Grove. Mayoh Park provides a ...

And the re-instatement of the advance stop line outside Lidl to avoid being squeezed by that very dangerous concrete island on t'other side.

Painting it out is making it really dangerous. I couldn't get a sensible explanation from our previous councillor.

I have friends in a Green constituency. The party does seem rather split between the traditional Greens who were there for trying to get better environmental policies. Then we have the influx of new Greens who were looking for a party left of Labour. They are now the majority. I wonder where our ...
