Sue, Cllr James McAsh mentioned it in his councillor thread. Said it won?t necessarily be the whole zone implemented, but it?s all being consulted on and the roads where there is demand will be considered.

Let the scare stories, myths and fake news commence....! Councils legally have to keep revenues from parking in a separate account to cover the operational costs of a CPZ (ie enforcement officers issuing tickets to ensure spaces free for those with permits). Any surplus is spent on highways improvements. The council is not trying to enforce this on us, it?s thankfully listened to many residents asking for restricted parking to address the current parking issues and resulting congestion, which is only going to worsen with the new Charter ED school and health centre being operational in the new few years. Hundreds of teachers and health centre visitors expected each day with minimal room onsite for parking. The zone is admittedly very large, I?m assuming this is to address any concerns about spill over.

Yes, looking forward to seeing it!

Noticed today there are new signs up and the ?Le Nid? brand has gone, now called EDG nursery.

I would say not needed. My son?s just left to go to school and it was rare to see a child wearing one.

Grease build up in the extractor system confirmed as the cause

Yes, it?s started. No horses unfortunately but dogs expected soon. The motorbike and helmet trying on seems v popular with children.

Last time I had this problem I emailed the council but there is a more instant response it seems if you call the number below. Good luck. ?Next time you are disturbed by smoke and odour please do contact us via the Environmental Call Centre on 0207 525 5777.?

Well said. The worst offenders are those with children?s car seats but no kids (often grandparents I imagine) who really should know better.

?Fly-tipping is dangerous, unhealthy and an eyesore, however, householders must adopt a more responsible attitude towards having their waste removed. It is unlikely that a "man with a van" and a mobile phone is a responsible contractor who will dispose of waste appropriately.? https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200304/cmselect/cmodpm/633/63318.htm

Tweet from local police team @MPSDulwichWood We are aware of members of the travelling community having pitched up at the Grove Pub car park on Lordship Lane. We are are aware of this issue & are working with @lb_southwark & land owners to get them moved on & the site secured. Watch this space.

Busy night I imagine

Call Southwark Noise team, they come out within an hour to visit https://www.southwark.gov.uk/noise-and-antisocial-behaviour/how-to-report-a-noise-problem

Would be great if drivers could consider turning engines off when waiting

Narrowing the pavement right by the station entrance doesn?t sound great

Call Southwark parking enforcement if you don?t feel comfortable speaking to the driver yourself - they send parking officer to request driver switches engine off and if they refuse issue a ?80 fine. I?ve found them very responsive in the past. 020 7708 8587 Moondancer Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > parked outside 174 Crystal Palace Road a white/red > transit van parked there 10 mins already door > open, driver on phone, MJ61 JUC what can I do, it > is not possible for me to go out to tackle the > driver at the moment. > This is opposite the children nursery

Surely these are the very journeys we should be trying to limit and if parking restrictions help change that behaviour I'm all for it. The air quality isn't going to improve if we all keep using cars without challenging ourselves, or being challenged, to find alternatives. Not easy I know especially with little ones but the cost of this convenience is their health at the end of the day.

I fully support their goal of encouraging sustainable travel and reducing congestion (and more importantly air quality) but surely this only works if there is a CPZ in neighbouring roads to force it. Otherwise what is to stop staff adding to the parking pressures in the area? The same argument applies to the closeby new Charter school and medical centre where only minimal parking spaces have been provided onsite (as per guidance from Southwark to fit with their travel strategy) in order to encourage sustainable travel but I can?t see that people are going suddenly stop driving if they think there might be a few available free spaces within 500m. All we?ll get is more congestion with cars circling the roads trying to find them.

As well as a few other benefits below - cleaner air, less congestion and encouraging sustainable travel are my personal favourites. More free spaces would also result in less of the daily horn beeping and aggression when cars can't squeeze past each other at what is about to become the entrance to the new secondary school. - more parking spaces for local residents and businesses (by preventing commuter and long stay parking) prioritised parking for different types of motorists (eg. residents, disabled visitors, delivery companies, motorcycles, businesses) - less congestion - more convenient parking options for residents' visitors or trades persons - improved journey times for buses - greater reliability with your delivery slots - improved road safety (by designating where it's safe to park and where it's not) - cleaner air (by deterring non essential car journeys) - reduced noise levels - new developments (by reducing the impact on existing communities) - new businesses and assistance to existing businesses (by making available parking permits) - sustainable travel (by encouraging motorists to walk or cycle)

More fake news - they are not allowed to profit from a CPZ by law - any surplus must be invested back into transport related improvements such as highway improvements and scchool crossing patrols.

Please can you reference where this is what the council discovered? I can?t find any mention of it in the report but have seen the cabinet member signing off the decision on 15th March 2012 wrote the following - ?I do not think that it?s right that people from far and wide outside the area of consultation should seek to deny the residents within a coherent area a CPZ if that?s what they want to solve their parking problems? and ?some involved in that campaign resorted dubious tactics, including implying that residents who wanted a CPZ do not ?love? Dulwich, misleading shops across the SE22 area that the council were keen to introduce a CPZ even up as far as Lordship Lane, even going as far as denying there is not a commuter parking problem around East Dulwich Train Station. There clearly is a commuter parking problem in the streets surrounding East Dulwich Train station but in the final analysis sufficient numbers of residents have rejected the CPZ to make me confident that my rejection of its introduction is the right one. http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/documents/s27502/Signed%20Record%20of%20Decision%20Grove%20Vale%20controlled%20parking%20zone%201%20and%202%20stage%20report.pdf

Thank you for sharing

I found the breastfeeding clinic at Crawford children?s centre useful (much better than the one at Peckham library who didn?t have the expertise to check for tongue-tie) http://www.dulwichwood.com/aardvarkcc/files/2017/01/ACC-A4-Poster-Breast-feeding-cafe-CR-V02.pdf And they have free baby sensory, baby massage and messy play sessions there when you are ready. http://www.dulwichwood.com/aardvarkcc/crawford/

Noticed Dolphin dry cleaners has been broken into this morning too.
