Extension of Lewisham’s emergency covid measures in planning

Lewisham doesn’t do scrutiny, so we have to do it for them. Tune in at 7.30 tonight, and check out their discussions.

Let us know if anything juicy was said. I suspect they’ll extend.

“Emergency” status has been very convenient to councillors for pushing through their road closure programme without the normal set of consultees.

See my tweets. Pretty much waved through.

John Paschoud’s quoted remarks are educating on the level of thought processes of some Councillors.

Reeely??
