Did a quick search and couldn’t find anything but apologies if I’ve missed a discussion. What’s going on in Brockwell Park with these things and all the big vehicles?!

Some strange event where people pay £32 to follow pretend images on their mobile phones, part of the 'Pokemon' brand.
It is running from 4th to 6th August. Not sure how extensive the ticketed area will be.

Yeah, I couldn't see anything on journey planner or citymapper but it seemed quite quick to open up after a possible fatality. Maybe it wasn't fatal. Hopefully.
Anyway friend has left and seems to have got bus ok.

Anyone interested in that power tunnel on acre lane / kings avenue that goes right under Brixton / cold harbour lane seems it was on the BBC show about heat pumps last night. Jump to 59 minutes

Earlier today, it was finally reported that PC Nadeem Patel of the Metropolitan Police's central South Command Unit, who mowed down Shante Daniel-Folkes, killing her instantly in Stockwell Road on 9 June 2021 while driving in excess of 80 mph in response to an emergency call, pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving on 21 November 2022 and was sentenced on 24 February 2023 to three years’ imprisonment and disqualified from driving for three years.
PC Nadeem Patel was dismissed from the Metropolitan Police without notice after a misconduct hearing on 4 May 2023:

Thanks! 53mins btw
God - that’s horrible. At least they’ve been prosecuted and left the police. It doesn’t say what about the either police driver going at such speed as well.Earlier today, it was finally reported that PC Nadeem Patel of the Metropolitan Police's central South Command Unit, who mowed down Shante Daniel-Folkes, killing her instantly in Stockwell Road on 9 June 2021 while driving in excess of 80 mph in response to an emergency call, pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving on 21 November 2022 and was sentenced on 24 February 2023 to three years’ imprisonment and disqualified from driving for three years.

I'm actually surprised she got three years. Being a copper and responding to an emergency call at the time. I'd have thought that would be mitigating circumstances enough to get a suspended sentence.

I've noticed it much more over the last year or so. I thought it might have been Deliveroo and Just Eat drivers, but it doesn't seem to be.
I think the Met have decriminalised it by default - inexpertly stopping a motorcycle is the sort of thing that might start a riot, so they don't bother.
This was trialled last year apparently - be interested to know how it went.

Yup, it was horrible in Streatham last night - I guess they use the A23. I'm 10 mins walk from it but could still hear the selfish twats.....

Yes. Not just bikes but cars too with modified exhausts. Some pop like gun shots.
Lambeth have confirmed that they were not part of the noise camera trial and have no plans to be; are not monitoring road noise or recording complaints about it; and have no formal means for residents to make complaints or engage with them about it.
