Loughborough Junction chitter-chatter

At the LJ Neighborhood Forum the guy from Brixton Liveable Neighborhood did say next stage would be to look at how traffic would be effected. He said modelling of traffic is much better now than in the past.
 
Too give the Brixton Liveable Neighborhood side.

They are consulting on LJ now.

Have your say on Brixton Liveable Neighbourhood ideas for the Railton, Loughborough and Ferndale areas | Lambeth Council

Neighbourhood information
www.lambeth.gov.uk www.lambeth.gov.uk

They are saying this is about climate change, air quality and move away from polluting road transport.

Eventual move to zero emmissions is required as long term goal.

In LJ car ownership is low and most traffic is through traffic using LJ as route to central London. Its not local traffic. This means that in poor area traffic is mainly from wealthier areas from south of LJ.

The Liveable Neighborhood team are consulting widely. For example children at Max Roach adventure playground were consulted at event there.

So this project is part of educating people and giving them the facts on road use in local area. The website has a lot of info.

You could stop N-S movements across the Loughborough Rd/CHL/Hinton Rd crossroads, and make the bottom of Herne Hill Rd right-turn only.

That's possibly half a like. It sounds a bit like what happened last time.
How do you stop North South traffic whilst allowing traffic to tun into and out of Loughborough Road?
I am not a driver and its difficult for me to imagine how the signage works on that - and the policing.
Something akin to congestion zone hardware?

17-year old Rishon Florant, of Waltham Forest, and 18-year-old Chibuzo Ukonu, of Loughton, Essex, have today been found guilty of killing Glendon Spence, who, together with friends, had sought refuge at the Marcus Lipton Youth Centre in Brixton, south London, when the two hooded teenagers arrived armed with large knives arrived at the Marcus Lipton Youth Club and ran at them.

Glendon, a regular at the youth club, tripped and fell by a table tennis table and was set on by one of the attackers suffering a stab wound to his thigh, which severed the femoral artery, as well as defensive cuts to an arm and hand.

Florant was accused of delivering the fatal wound and was found guilty of murder. He denied being involved and told jurors he had been wrongly identified on CCTV of the attack.

But his co-accused, 18-year-old Ukonu, who was convicted of manslaughter, told the court that Florant had carried out the stabbing. Ukonu told jurors he was at the scene but had no intention to cause any harm to Glendon, let alone an intention to kill.

It is unclear why in such circumstances anyone would have found it necessary to be armed with large knives.

Ukonu took a coach to Manchester the day after the killing while Florant was arrested as he attempted to take a flight to Uganda from Heathrow Airport.

Judge Mark Dennis QC adjourned sentencing until 11 October 2019 for probation service reports and lifted an order banning identification of the younger defendant in light of his conviction.

The limited media coverage of the trial to date gives no indication of any motive for the killing.

However, the immediate consequences of the murder were previously described here.

Not sure to be honest. Maybe it would not be feasible. I'd imagine there'd be some way you could do it with the traffic lights though.

It sadly took the murder of this young man to get Lambeth Council to say the Council plans to treat the site the Youth Centre, Adventure playground and Elam Open Space are on as, in Council words , a "development site" off the drawing board.

It should not take a murder to make the Labour Council stop working up plans for the development of this site.

On the Grove Adventure playground they ( officers and Labour Cllrs )said that there was no demand for an adventure playground in LJ. On the Youth Centre they said it was "not fit for purpose". Total annoying bollox I had to endure at meetings over last few years in LJ.

Its still not fully gaurenteed in the future. Council have been asked to protect these sites for youth provision and supervised play in the revision of the Local Plan. The major planning document for Lambeth.

They have refused to do so.

Ive been writing today to coment on the new Local Plan saying these sites should be protected.

Basically to stop Lambeth in the future disposing of these sites.

I had a problem with their space age checkout machine this morning.
Seems to default to "no receipt" - that is if it isn't already displaying a linux fault screen.
It took three members of staff to produce me a copy receipt.
Now that's what I call electronic efficiency.
 
Anyone familiar with Lambeth Riverside and its proposed redevelopment of the post war estate located behind St Matthews Church on Lilford Road and the newish social housing blocks on Coldharbour Lane?

It looks like they had consulted tenants and were now moving to a pub;ic consultation prior to a planning application.

Seems this is now unable to proceed due to Coronavirus considerations.

I haven't studied the document in detail, but my hunch is that this estate is originally a Church Commissioners estate, and now a Trust similat to Guinness Trust.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, according to taste what they have in mind is a makeover like Guinness Trust/Electric Quarter.

Brixton is obviously high density and more difficult, but generally speaking they are starting to reappear in small supermarkets (Tesco Express/ Costcutter types). There were some yesterday at a Tesco Express in Crystal Palace.
 
What I found thoroughly depressing when I went on my shopping tour yesterday was that literally every small supermarket I went to had notices put up asking people not to be abusive to staff. Clearly they have been given hell by inconsiderate twats annoyed that they are being told they are no longer allowed to take home every last packet of toilet bog on the shelves.
