Considerably more Brixton.
it's the 'no motor vehicles' signs on posts that mean motors legally cant drive though and they are in place. The yellow signs are just information

Yep - and there are none.
Not that they are stopping much traffic where they have been installed on St Matthews Road, anyway.

You might want to go and have another look - they have been in place since the weekend in the places the website said they would be

Fines start 27th July I think.
Traffic has reduced (or at least that’s my anecdata from looking out of the window for the last few days).
waze is updated so far fewer private hire cars.
Better signs are needed on Hurst Street as most drivers turning off Dulwich Road onto Hurst and then left on to Railton to get to Brixton and generally don’t bother following the give way sign or white lines. This means they get outside 198 gallery and then u-turn.
Loads more pedestrians and cyclists.

Signs? There’s 4! 2 facing either direction (flying motorcycle / no access to motor vehicle ones)

I just walked past it specifically to see if it was there. I will be heading back there later with a desk I've been having lovingly repaired later and will check again!

In front of the house of the older lady which now has scaffolding up and then opposite by the phone box.

Yep - I totally missed them. I may even have been stood right under one! They're quite tall. Much less conspicuous than the St Matthews Road ones which are set into the road itself rather than the pavement, narrowing it. And there are no planters. It would appear that drivers are not noticing them either. It was pretty much traffic as usual.

Noticeably quieter too.

There is a Zoom meeting of representatives from each street this evening. Not sure how they were chosen.
The organisers have made a survey to gather opinions from people who live and work in the zone.

I think it is just to inform the meeting so responses would presumably need to be in by this afternoon.
Not sure whether there is a representative from St Matthews Road - the road is not actually mentioned in the survey.

Guy’s & St Thomas’ have just come out in support of Lambeth’s transport strategy.

Is that surprising? Isn't Lambeth one of their designated "test bed" boroughs for researching different ideas?
(That's not an argument against it - just like well ... duh!
)

Thats the managers of Guys and St Thomas. Not the workers.
I heard the workers at Guys were not happy about introduction of CPZ zones nearby.
All these green measures need to take into account that workers bear the brunt of this.

Measures like hiking up the congestion charge:
'Congestion charge hike is stab in the back,' says nurse
A distraught nurse from Kent, who works at a busy London hospital, says the congestion charge increase is "getting beyond stupid".

I'd hate to have to do a shift as a nurse then still have to cycle home.

Thought nurses were all heroes we should support?
Boris deal that he forced on TFL and Mayor meant exemptions went.

How about if you do a shift then have to get on a bus or a tube?.

It seems you can get a reimbursement for journeys to and from work if you are dealing with the coronavirus outbreak (however that is defined):
Amendments and refunds
See if you're eligible for a refund or remibursement on your Congestion Charge payment
tfl.gov.uk
I don't really know why NHS staff should get special treatment to be honest; there are lots of other people doing essential work who have to travel in and out of central London and many of them will not be as well paid. It simply doesn't work if everyone tries to drive.
interesting article you may find informative?
Why we shouldn't be calling our healthcare workers 'heroes' | Charlotte Higgins
They’re doing a fantastic job, but the language of heroism can be used to silence complaints, says Charlotte Higgins, the Guardian’s chief culture writer

The nurse is article reckons she does not get it.
My underlying point is that when someone says something like Guys support such and such. its the management who are saying this.
One of the thing about the pandemic is that workers are important and needed. They should be treated with more respect.
The workers should get more of a voice.
It was posted that Guys and Thomas support Lambeth transport plans. Turns out this is management. Goes unremarked.
If clapping for nurses or calling them heroes is to mean anything in the future things are going to have to change.
