The CPZ side effects of difficulties for visitors' parking is compounded if the CPZ doesn't make it easier to park in the evenings. I live in Nutbrook just a street away from yours. It is in the evenings we have as many problems, sometimes more, as during the day. Have you any ideas why we have so many cars parking in the evenings around our part of the area?

This bus diversion affects the small traders significantly as well as train station and bus users. The Rye Lane Traders Association - http://www.peckhamvision.org/wiki/RLTA, Peckham Vision - http://www.peckhamvision.org and Copeland Park - https://www.copelandpark.com - asked the Council in the autumn to get a temporary bus stop on both Copeland Rd and Consort Rd but we heard this reason for not doing it on Copeland Rd only in December. The negative comments by bus users are just what we predicted for inevitable and right reasons. The unhelpful pavement widening without discussion with locals, who could have told them how important Copeland Rd is to town centre diverted traffic, has all been done since the last major diversions. As this one is going on for a whole year or more should we all ask for the pavements to be changed to accommodate a bus stop on Copeland Rd (now it seems one has been agreed on Consort Rd)? It won?t be the last time a diversion is needed in the next decades. Possibly the best way to get an effective result on this is for everyone who is inconvenienced to email the relevant elected representatives, and CC to Southwark News. If a flood of emails from negatively affected locals gets to them they are more likely to negotiate with TfL and get the gas companies doing the disruptive work to contribute to the cost of creating the place for the bus stop. If you agree, you could email your experience and comments to all the relevant representatives. You just have to tell them what it is doing to your own journey, whatever that is, and ask them to support action to get a temporary bus stop on Copeland Road and Consort Road.

I don't notice a lot of space that would be freed by commercial vehicles at this time. They almost all look like domestic cars. Also, though there are thoughtless or selfish parkers, I don't get the sense that better parking would free up more spaces beyond one or two at most. This is a street that is nose to tail parking almost all evening every day.

This message is for people who live in Nutbrook Street - what do you think of the proposals for our street? I frequently can't find a place to park in the evenings long after a CPZ would have ended. Could this CPZ solve that? To anyone else - do you have any experience of CPZ's solving car parking scarcity after 6.30pm?

A few weeks ago I asked Dulwich Community Council Chair and Rye Lane Ward councillors if they knew of any CPZ plans covering this part of the area and they said they did not. Please can you give details of where the info is about this so I can get it to show them.

I have been at the surgery for 45 years. A huge shock to be told I am being excommunicated at such short notice. Has anyone found guidance to an appeal process? At least to get an extension of time to find another GP.

Hi - have you ever had frustrating or worse experiences with the planning system? Have you wondered how the system works and who is in charge? Or do you feel local Councillors need to be more accountable for the decisions they take on these matters? If yes to any of that you will be interested in this event. Come and join this important part of our democracy: An election hustings on planning and regeneration held by the Southwark Planning Network in the lead up to the local Council elections in May: on Saturday 14th April 2.00pm Community exhibition 3.00-5.00pm Hustings meeting At Christ Church Peckham, 676-680 Old Kent Road, between Commercial Way and Peckham Park Road junctions with the Old Kent Road. Similar to BBC Question Time with audience participation. This is a Hustings with a difference, where community perspectives on important planning policy matters can be raised with politicians seeking election. Community groups from across the borough, linked through the Southwark Planning Network, are creating the community exhibition at 2pm. We all suffer from the problems caused by the planning system, the deficient consultation process, and the impacts of regeneration. These never get addressed properly in the local elections we have every four years. This hustings is aimed at helping to correct that democratic deficit. Four candidates in the local elections have been chosen by their parties to represent them in this Community Hustings on planning and regeneration: Toby Eckersley - Conservative: candidate in London Bridge & West Bermondsey ward Eleanor Margolies - Green: candidate in St Giles ward Damian O'Brien - Liberal Democrat: candidate in London Bridge & West Bermondsey ward Rebecca Lury ? Labour: candidate in North Walworth ward Further info from: http://www.peckhamvision.org/wiki/Southwark_Planning_Network

Until recently the Bussey Building has been the tallest building in Peckham town centre commercial area and the Conservation Area Appraisal report notes that the character of the Conservation Area is of 2-4 storey buildings. These are not generally thought of as 'high rise'. What did you have in mind in relation to that?

Abe_froeman Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > How many floors are there in the car park and the > Bussey building? In the Bussey Building, there are 4 floors and the roof level, which is taller than the former multi storey car park. That has 10 car park 'levels', and standing on the Bussey roof you look down on the multi storey in front.

Peckham take note. > https://www.architectural-review.com/rethink/lewisham-the-notopian-future-of-london/10015443.article This is a useful article, thanks for posting the link. Here is an extract from it: ""[What is happening in Lewisham] makes clear three things: First, that the result of a numbers game is always going to be grim, with any sort of attempt at character and liveliness being fairly irrelevant. Second, expecting that ?more? will mean any help for anyone other than the already affluent, is optimistic. Here, council housing was actively erased from the site, and for all the involvement of the housing associations, this place will not even make the tiniest dent in Lewisham?s council waiting list. Third, the new vernacular, so long as it coexists with a developer-driven urbanism which sees spaciousness as so much wasted, unrentable space, means little more than politesse curtain-walled over plutocracy. If the New Lewisham is anything to go by, New London will consist of high-security, high-rise dormitories, built right into the inner city?"" So it's appropriate to ask if this is the right kind of approach to seriously attempting to meet the huge need for social and low cost housing in Southwark and London. The current approaches which are fuelling the pressure for tall towers are not in fact meeting that need. Housing waiting lists are growing not being reduced by the kind of housing being built.

What does it feel like for East Dulwich residents to have Peckham on the doorstep and going through significant changes? I live on the boundary between, in a part of Peckham (Bellenden) very like East Dulwich. I have lived here for over 40 years and so I feel fully part of both places. The emergence of the EDF 10 years ago was difficult for residents in our area as we don't really feel that south west Peckham is a separate place. It's obvious at Peckham Rye station watching people stream off the trains and dispersing in all directions that that part of Peckham is a very local place for people who live all around Peckham whether in SE22, or SE5 as well as many parts of SE15. So I imagine and hope that many East Dulwich residents will feel part of the Peckham Festival as a very local happening of relevance to us all. That's a preamble to the Peckham Festival blog here - http://bit.ly/2h2fUwb We'd be very glad to welcome East Dulwich people to our Peckham Vision http://www.peckhamvision.org Open Studio or our events over the weekend, and talk about what it's like living next to this town centre that is undergoing such rapid change. Also would be good to have a discussion on here about this before and after the Festival. From the blog: "As a local resident in Peckham [and East Dulwich], it can be easy to feel overwhelmed as you witness the super-fast pace that things seem to be changing. Obviously, lots of it is very exciting; there are new independent eating spaces opening on a weekly basis and no shortage of arts and music events aimed at everyone in the community. That said, it begs the question, where is Peckham going and is it in a direction that?s best for everyone?..."

Hi Louisa - do you have the planning app case number? Nothing is coming up on the Planning search website for this address. Or is it an April Fool?! The address on the document on the link is 218 ? 222 Rye Lane. This is the former Maximus, now boarded up.

This is the result of one of many sleights of hand from the Council to recover from their disastrous approach to the station site planning during 2012/13 which led to the notorious Weston Williamson plan to demolish everything and build 5-7 storey housing blocks and clear out all the businesses alongside and behind the station at once: http://www.peckhamvision.org/wiki/Peckham_Rye_Station_Gateway/Jan-Sep_2014#Network_Rail_plans_reveal_total_demolition_18th_January_2014 They then said they would 'codesign' it with local people (just before the 2014 local elections). But then two years of obfuscation since then has resulted in a plan for the new square being approved with no relationship to all the other integral parts of it - this includes step free access for the station, and design of the public realm in the immediately adjoining streets! All objections that the details of the related parts of the station site had to be part of a whole have been brushed aside by the Council to give planning permission. All the other parts are probably being dealt with behind the scenes but in spite of the promise to 'codesign' the station site, no one knows anything. How well they fit together or when remains to be seen. This is how the Planning system operates now unfortunately.

It is already being transformed into the Peckham Levels temporarily. Maybe it might remain that if the campaign is successful. http://www.peckhamvision.org/wiki/Multi-Storey_Car_Park#Future_of_the_building Next key action will be in the summer when the council consults on the future of the site along with all the other development sites in Peckham and the borough as a whole. That is when we need to keep alive the possibility that they will consider its long term future in maybe 3 years time when Peckham Levels has shown what the building can be.

Yes, the Pop Community lease is just for the next 5 years. But the Council decision, about the long term future of the building, will be within the next year, possibly as early as this coming summer during the next stage of the consultation on the New Southwark Plan; see for info: http://www.peckhamvision.org/wiki/Multi-Storey_Car_Park#Future_of_the_building
