I appealed against a fine issued by Southwark, and won. The adjudicator was businesslike, but also mentioned that several cases had come to him caught out by the same confusing signage. Is there any other parking that could reasonably have been used? Does the shop advise where to park? It sounds as though the time in the bay was a reasonable use. Even if you lose, I doubt that Southwark can increase the original charge. If you are going to appeal, don't delay. Take pictures of the scene if you think that might help, also provide the weight of the goods if that supports your case. -
Thanks - an overnight stay, a drip and painkillers seems to have done its work! -
Depends on who can afford to purchase or lease it and what The Dulwich Estate, Stonegate and Southwark Council will allow to be built or operate on the site. Whatever it is, it needs to attract footfall for itself and businesses around it. The question to ask is what does that part of Dulwich need, that is not within the locality, which will attract custom and footfall, that the site can accommodate and that can offer parking which it already has available. In between Cox's Walk, Dulwich Village, Dulwich College and the park, some sort of establishment that sells drinks and meals. Bit then I'm just chucking ideas around, or maybe someone, Dean, has some radical idea's to take it in a totally different direction. Whatever it becomes it has to be better than the rotting site and eyesore it currently is. Good luck to anyone who takes on the project to redevelop the former Grove Tavern. -
Some of the problems with the drains are down to the council I think. There was a small lake on the northern side of goose green this morning (probably not a bad thing as it might float some of the dog waste out of the park into the drains eventually). anyway, I saw it resolved by some bloke clearing the leaves on a drain in East Dulwich Road north (at least the bit in the road drained away and stopped flooding the park further). If the council cleared the leaves and streets more than once every three months these problems would happen less. There's plenty of surplus revenue from the roads so I dont understand why the council can't keep them clean.
