A parent from Lyndhurst Primary tested positive
Droler replied to Rosetta's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Your link isn't personal, but lots of speculation in the other posts and linking 2 institutions to one person narrows it down a bit. Quite a bit of speculation that isn't helpful. -

It is deeply irresponsible to be posting patient related information that could identify them, including institutions they may or may not have connections with on social media. How would you feel if it was you or a family member? Do us all a favour and get deleting. -
Aggressive door to dooor cleaning product sellers
Droler replied to AD's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Sick of these guys. It's all a scam (charity address on their products turned out to be fake when I checked). As there are so many I always say "some of you guys were round last week and I brought loads then" usually works as they think someone has done the area already. -
Do you want Controlled Parking YES or NO

Filtered permeability needs to be introduced in the area. Works well in Hackney. -

As with other CPZs those with driveways will have double yellows across, plus the area will be patrolled. That will stop people parking across driveways. -
As this is exactly the point, many of these cars would have turned up on these roads and made it even worse, had it not been for controls going in here (late!). Even if you disagreed there was an issue before, you may have found yourself changing your minds pretty quick! teddyboy23 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > CPZ came into force in my area camber well this > Monday 2nd October .and for the first time in 12 > years.

The point I was making was about annual permit costs. The work car permit would be tax deduct able, and even then is ?4.60 a week really much compared to total car running costs? I don't know your circumstances, but you could possibly insure your nanny on your vehicle at little or no premium increase. I think when it gets to the point where residents are having to pay ?2.80 an hour to park on Vestry road because lack of space it's getting silly. It's so tight we have people with disabled bays getting their places pinched by able bodied drivers. There will be winners and losers, but other areas with controlled parking seem to manage.

Indeed, they are self perpetuating. Things change very quickly in adjacent areas when they go in, as we found out in the toast rack. Bellenden Road area will be next, then around Lordship lane because of the numerous bus routes. I'm afraid this just bounced the issue to to next place,but there are way too many people using cars for commuting not because they have to but because they can.

A majority is still a majority I'm afraid, that's way it works, as long as the rules have been adhered to. I live in the next area, our CPZ going live on October 2nd, along with 3 other areas in south east London. You will noticed a marked change in parking after that. It may even change your mind. I would have opposed one a few years ago but it's so bad now I am all for it starting

I keep hearing this myth that CPZs are pushed by councils for revenue generation. This is a complete falsehood, they are only allowed to cover the costs of running, consulting and implementing CPZs. If they make a profit it is ring fenced for transport. This is laid down in national law. It is illegal to use them for revenue generation. If you think this is happening you should report them for the Council Ombudsman. They can only be put in with a majority decision as well. Queen's Road Peckham just rejected one on consultation so if Southwark do have an agenda clearly it isn't universal.

I for one am a local resident who would welcome safer cycling facilities/cycle lanes. I drive/cycle/walk through the area several times a week. From what I see people who choose to drive will not be stopped from doing so, yet we have the possibility of providing safer passage for more vulnerable road users.

Parking around East Dulwich station
Droler replied to Fitzgeraldo's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
In the Shenley/Crofton Road area of Camberwell we have just successfully lobbied the council for another consultation. The reason the parking has got so much worse is the introduction of 5 new CPZs around King's College Hospital in the last 6 years. These are in both Lambeth and Southwark. If we get one I'm afraid the issue may get worse down the road in Peckham Rye/East Dulwich. The major problem is commuters to the hospital and also to the local train stations and bus stops on the main road. No one is keen on them, but our adjacent CPZs do have more parking capacity during the day. -
Hi Leigh, The petition is only to get a consultation, no CPZ would ever be put in purely on the basis of a petition. Everyone can have their say either way if a consultation is done. Hi Man City, I've been down Denman a couple of times during the day. I agree with you - parking doesn't seem a issue. However on the roads to the west of you it's become a total nightmare! Crofton used to be OK too, until the double yellows got put in... Hi Jacqui, I lived in the Rye Lane CPZ for 2.5 years. It was fine, no problems at all. Always plenty of parking. I now have to put up with no parking on Crofton Road during weekdays and would gladly have one!

A few years have now passed since this topic was first raised. Since the double yellow lines went in we have found that the parking situation has got much worse. We are a group of residents campaigning for a another CPZ consultation on Bushey Hill, Crofton and Shenley Roads (plus the side roads off Shenley) If you would like more information please follow us on Twitter at @SE5Parking or email SE5carparkingzones@gmail.com So far we have noticed strong support for another consultation, even from people previously opposed to a CPZ. With the building of a large development of new flats on the Peckham Road, plus large developments near Camberwell Green the situation is only going to get worse. We are running a petition over the next few weeks, and if we get enough signatures the councillors have agreed to another consultation. Ideally we would want restricted parking for a couple of hours around lunchtime to deter all day parkers, whilst allowing deliveries and visitors. If you live on Talfourd or Denmark roads and feel that parking is an issue please get in touch,
