Agenda item

This is an opportunity for public questions to be addressed to the chair.

Residents or persons working in the borough may ask questions on any

matter in relation to which the council has powers or duties.

Responses may be supplied in writing following the meeting.

In response to a question about the future plans for the Holmhurst Day Centre and its site, the chair said Members shared concerns about the future of Holmhurst and that officers would be asked to report back.

The Turney Road Residents Association and the Burbage Road Residents’ Association expressed disappointment with the new Southwark planning decision process that removed the powers of community councils and introduced two new sub-committees.

The chair suggested that the questioner write to the relevant cabinet member for a response. Dulwich community council members broadly agreed that local planning decisions should be agreed locally.

A resident asked about the roundabout in the middle of Dulwich village at the junction of Burbage Gallery / Dulwich village which had been changed. There were three main issues: pedestrians crossing Burbage Road who were unsighted; cars crossing the Give Way lines and the junction was unclear for drivers in places.

The chair said several local schemes were being tweaked and that the community council would ask for an officer response on the issues raised.
