For those that support the petition to stop the closure I suggest emailing their local MP and the Lambeth Councillors. Here are some of the email addresses (I don't have all of them). 'helen.hayes.mp@parliament.uk''jbrathwaite@lambeth.gov.uk'; 'Poulter@lambeth.gov.uk'; 'Steve@stockwell.org.uk'; 'MAgdomar@lambeth.gov.uk'; 'jdickson@lambeth.gov.uk'; 'JHolborn@lambeth.gov.uk'; 'DAnyanwu@lambeth.gov.uk'; 'rheywood@lambeth.gov.uk'; 'mparr1@lambeth.gov.uk'; 'TBriggs@lambeth.gov.uk'; 'JDyer3@lambeth.gov.uk'; 'PGadsby@lambeth.gov.uk'; 'AGallop@lambeth.gov.uk'; 'SWinifred@lambeth.gov.uk'

Those who'd like the experiment to run its course before jumping to hasty decisions should also email their councillors/MPs.

I was in the meeting but had to leave a short time ago.
The room was full but not over-full.
The transport chap from the council was trying to explain the evaluation measures that are going to be taken. However most of the time it wasn't possible to hear him as people were shouting over him from the audience.
The people from stockwell partnership were supposed to be explaining what they are going to be doing for the upcoming consultation. They'd had to pretty much abandon that halfway through because of the constant interruptions.
Clr Parr was doing a fairly poor job of keeping things on track.
I'll try and post what information I could glean from the speakers in between the shouting and jeering, later on.

If those important questions didn't get a chance to be answered that is a real shame.

I recorded the meeting on my mobile. Well up to the point they started moving onto other things. Most of the people left then. I'm trying to upload it to dropbox if anyone is interested. Was surprised to see Opik Lembit there. He held his hand up for ages waiting to speak.

curiouser & curiouser. Don't know anything about him apart from that he married a cheeky girl. Did he get to speak? Does he live here?

He used to take his classic MG to one of the LJ mechanics.
That will be Ian at Mayflower I imagine. He used to fix my camper when I lived nearby years ago. Nice bloke, had a Delorean in the corner of one of his arches which was safe.

That must be what it is. Clearly a man of sophisticated tastes.

you could try sticking it on Utube, that's quite easy. I'm interested.

yes, a nice guy, unfortunately he shut up shop over summer and the yard will soon be flats and a property surveyors practice*
* if planning consent is granted

At times it was. The crowd were definitely making their feelings felt. They were very riled when it was suggested the road closures were only going to get 45mins. They soon decided it was a good idea to change that. There was a lot of shouting over people. The crowd want the road closures stopped. And they want it now.

I've just google image searched Delorian.
That looks like an Opik Lembit sort of car.

He did get to speak. Although I can't rightly remember what he said. I don't know where he lives. But don't think it's around here.

I think if you go to Utube website & look for 'upload' in top right corner you can make it up from there ?

I thought you were being symbolic. I suspect planning consent will be granted with a bow on top. The political climate does seem to be turning against car repair shops round here.

that particular car repair shop was told as much some years back by a representative of the council
Really? That's a real shame. He was the most chaotic mechanic I've ever dealt with but really liked him and Ronnie

I never would have picked that bit of Hinton Road for redevelopment for flats, times are definitely changing.
he had a long history with network rail, when they did the bridge years back and closed the road it almost finished him then and iirc he got bugger all compo for the disruption.

They are. It's a hard rains a-gonna fall.

I suspect he may live round here. No stranger to controversy Lembit has been a vocal supporter of Oasis Church Waterloo (a former Prebysterian Church next to Kennington Police Station). Oasis is an evangelical church which is pro gay marriage - and got kicked out of the Evangelical Alliance because of that.
I don't think you are right about him marrying a Cheeky Girl - that seems to have been a relationship which did not lead to marriage.
He was of course a Lib Dem MP for many years(up to 2010) but of more relevance to road closures or not - Wikipedia says he is a long term supporter of the Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) of which he is apparently a director.
Don't know if Lindsay Avebury has engaged in this debate - but she is the other Liberal bigwig who might possibly be concerned - resides and very active in the Myatts Fields area (President of Longfield Hall trust I think).

You seem a well informed person politically Mr CH1. Here's a thing. I met - very briefly - someone called Lord Lester of Herne Hill QC this eve. He seems to be a top quality lord, as lords go. See this for instance THE ODYSSEUS TRUST
Any chance he'd be interested in squalid little LJ and its consultation process and road closure assessment process do you think?
