Assessments on prioritisation of Healthy Neighbourhoods focus on assessing personal injury and collisions, air quality, levels of obesity and deprivation, and appetite in the community. @SophieDavis has been working hard to organise supporters of a Healthy Neighbourhood in Honor Oak and help ensure their voices are heard. However, local support for these schemes is just one of the factors assessed. And on that note, can the admins please act and stop @DevonishForester from misrepresenting my words.
Sophie can speak to this issue better than I can - as she can for most issues to be honest!
There will be a public consultation on any Healthy Neighbourhood.
But if you’re a local councillor who thinks part of ward would benefit from Healthy Neighbourhood schemes, then its your imperative to campaign for it. In my opinion.
Isn’t it a conflict of interests for you to organise the consultation whilst also organising activists from one side to “ensure their voices are heard”
How will residents be able to trust the consultation?
Oh no, those pesky activists again, campaigning for safer streets and healthy neighbourhoods. Why don’t we invite some people who want to campaign for speeding down residential streets, breathing more pollution and generally in favour of making neighbourhoods more unhealthy. Feel free to join the consultation. Everyone welcome.
I think I’ve addressed that reductionist rhetoric and those straw man arguments before, the last few times you used them. I’m not going to repeat myself by responding to them.
The traffic throughput limit has been reached this afternoon, traffic was all the back all the way from the south circular, the whole length of woodcoombe cresecent to Ewelme Road. And all the way along Devonshire Road to the bottom Ewelme Road, according to google that’s 600m of standing traffic.
I would hope that the moderators would address your attack on me rather than on something I have written. Please let me know where the misrepresentation is.
Folks, please contact @moderators with any concerns rather that spoiling the topic here. The usual way to do this is to flag the specific post you have issue with and then select the reason why, as detailed in the FAQ: /se23.life/faq#flag-problems
Hence the one-way system in the opposite direction. They need to use Devonshire Road to cut-through to the south circular and they won’t be able to if it was only in the other direction. It’s the simplest and quickest solution to stop this traffic.
This is the current traffic in Devonshire road. It is like this every evening.
Personally i dont think one-way system is the right way to go, it will just encourage the north bound rat-runs unless it’s in combination with a number of other measures, but it would at least stop the south-bound rat-runs. I am glad that some agrees that something needs to be done about it though.
Was rather bad tonight for sure, and seemed to stay bad for a lot longer than usual. Even worse than the traffic is the amount of road rage that goes on, people getting out of cars to shout and swear at each other, its not great!
Here’s a quick clip of what it looked like, absolute standstill:
