Friends Of Loughborough Junction sounds like it has potential to be something really good.
Maybe out of all this something positive will come. I'd like to join. I think something that is not LJAG and that is not a single issue group would be a great thing, much needed.
Here one more time is this ..the people looking for something exactly like Friends of LJ to fund & assist, specifically in coldharbour ward.

Maybe but who are they? As Concerned1 seems very insistent to point out, they are nothing to do with the Road Madness lot, so who are they, a quick Google search brought up nothing but they've obviously got a bit of money to spend, double sided glossy cardboard leaflets don't come that cheap

Sorry but I certainly thought it was from LJRoadMadness, it has their contact details and says Road Madness in pretty big letters, it may be nothing to with them but I doubt anyone sees the "Produced by Friends of Loughborough Junction" line at the bottom!

Whilst doing a quick search for the mysterious Friends of Loughborough Junction group, was naturally presented by Google with the LJAG page. Not sure if anyone has posted it here already, apologies if they have but LJAG got a response from Lib Peck at Lambeth. Nothing new in the reply, all the usual nonsense they've been spouting for the last year but here you go
LJAG receive a response from Councillor Lib Peck with regard to experimental road closure | Loughborough Junction Action Group

Keep your hair on. I'm not demanding anything of them. It's up to them whether they want to do anything about their position being misrepresented. They might appreciate knowing about this leaflet, that's all.

Is it:
"MY GOD! THE BIKES ARE BREEDING!"; or
"We've narrowly avoided a head on collision between a car and a bus"?

They've removed the road closure and cyclists from the other side of under the bridge and made it look all dark and unwelcoming, unlike the plan one where the road closure makes everything light and inviting!
Oh and they removed the car, they're not welcome!

And the area's gained a lamp post.

All views expressed are definitely my own.
Nothing wrong with being proactive many a campaign has alliances such as LJAG and the cycle lobby! As for objections not being in the majority that says a lot about your perspective on 700+ vs 181 and now 3000+ vs !
Th point is democracy and consultations don't seem to be working in the co operative council, Lambeth as a body has failed to represent those it is elected to represent. I think alliances are made of this stuff... Good on you Friends of LJ and for raising the bar of the whole LJ Madness.
I remember back in the those days all the splinter groups outside Sth Africa House with a common purpose. Maybe Lambeth has moved out of the Town Hall and decentralised because those days are coming back...

oh yeah. No lamp post in today's one. Looks like we've gained a big black chimney type thing above the estate though?

There was about 200 non laminated ones in the Peace Pharmacy when I went to gwet my prescription just now. If the pharmacy hadn't been playing Morris Cerello sermons (or similar) on their loudspeakers I might have had the presence of mind to ask for one instead of giving them a lecture on religion having ruined Syria. I have to go back on Monday so I'll get one them perhaps.
Peace Pharmacy is a bit out of the way from Loughborough Junction though. Come to think of it Costcutter at LJ also had a few.
Whoever is running the campaign either feels very strongly, or has money, or both. I think if I was running the campaign I would approach than well known local benefactor Jerry Knight for a contribution.

I'd forgotten. Think today is the last day that stockwell partnership are 'roving around' trying to find people to talk to about the road closures. I wonder if anybody here been fortunate enough to spot one of them.

We demand deselection NOW. I would even join the Labour party to get that.

No idea (wasn't me) but maybe they have just begun existing, some little coalition born out of this current situation that has potential to grow and become a meaningful thing?

The whit coated scientist is doing a random sampling of cycles and people that travel through the junction it appears he has more research to do over the coming month to conclude 6mths worth of data, notice the new shops and demographic.... Wonder what happened to the old ones.

Actually on the original picture there are 2 cyclists in the background who have vanished on the leaflet and a tree has also vanished in the background of the leaflet. The "chimney" I think is a Big Brother cctv camera watching over the Junction have to keep everyone safe.

Sat here wondering what could have possessed the council to go back to that picture and remove all traces of motor vehicles from it- including the bus FFS. .
It's science fictiony, like a cheap black & white utopia from a future where all motorised transport has become obsolete.

The new shop in the plan has always been the brewtique (this bit where it looks like someone lost in Shoreditch).
but I never expected it to actually exist already, an 'artisan bottled beer shop' .. in Macclesfield. Brewtique
I'm enquiring whether or not they know about their plans to expand into LJ.

Various versions of the promo image will have been sent to them by the designers at various stages of the development process and someone will have saved them in a chaotic filing system, or not at all.
So, when they were putting together the flyer, some council officer will have been asked "can you find the promo image for that Loughborough Junction scheme" and they will have looked into that chaotic filing system and taken something at random which may or may not be the latest version.
They might even have retrieved the image as an attachment to an email sent two years ago which says "please don't use this image for publication as it's just a preliminary version".
At least they have managed not to print some kind of pixelated or distorted disaster by failing to understand image resolution or proportional scaling. These are common fates for carefully crafted presentation images once out of the originator's control.
