@DaveHill @jamesrgrinter Southwark did have a lot of 'unclaimed' S106 at one point but they've got better at keeping tabs on what's owed
@DaveHill @jamesrgrinter Whether or not a good deal is negotiated before its signed is another matter
@DaveHill @jamesrgrinter If the developer signs the deal and goes on to build the scheme, I don't think there's an issue with non-payment
@jamesrgrinter @DaveHill S106 is binding legal agreement. Sometimes councils are slow to draw down the funds but generally developers pay up
@KenningtonPOB @imogenbeecroft @southwarkcycle One-way southbound for all. Officer said too narrow for contraflow
