Blocking Calton Avenue to Emergency Vehicles: who knew what and when
One Dulwich has been accused of spreading lies about Southwark’s decision to block Calton Avenue to Emergency Vehicles – who was consulted, how many ES vehicles access the junction, and whether the £1.5m designs are fit for purpose. We stand by our reporting and reproduce the evidence in the timeline below.
Data confirms failure of Dulwich LTNs
The latest Southwark data shows that the LTNs have not reduced traffic, simply displaced it
Yet another sham consultation
The proposed re-design of the Dulwich Village junction ignores previous feedback from the local community
Discrimination against Blue Badge holders
Why is the Council continuing to discriminate against those who are frail, disabled or housebound by not allowing Blue Badge holders through the Dulwich Village junction?
Air quality data
Recent air quality readings show levels going back to what they were pre-Covid. So have the Dulwich LTNs had any effect at all?
Southwark’s traffic counts
The Council has given us a lot of pretty bar charts intended to show ”traffic down, cycling up” in the Dulwich area. But do they give us the full picture?
Why is the Council discriminating against Blue Badge holders?
Blue Badge holders should be allowed through the Dulwich Village junction because their disabilities make longer journeys distressing and painful. Why is Southwark ignoring their needs?
An open letter to our MP Helen Hayes
Please represent the majority local view on LTNs in Monday's parliamentary debate
An open letter to the Leader of the Council

Choose a good councillor
If we want councillors who will represent our views on the Dulwich LTNs, we need to think very carefully about how we vote on 5 May
First do no harm
The junction in the middle of Dulwich Village remains closed 24/7. But it also – unlike all the others in the Dulwich LTNs – denies access to Blue Badge holders and health care workers. Why?
