Hi prickle,

I'll find out 'cos that sounds an excellent dodge to defeat the system. I'd hope the mobile phone was goving some GPS but doubt it.


Visitor permits. I'd guess that if they were all ?1.60 then some residents might buy lots of books and sell them on. Most visitors would be weekend and evening for most people. If people decide they want controlled parking I hope they choose the 10-12 option which again would mean most weekday visitors wouldn't be affected.

I wonder how much the ability to park near the station is actually worth? I have off street parking but perhaps I should park my car on the road, paying for residents parking if it comes, and then rent my off-road space out to a commuter. Anyone know how much profit I might make? Whoops, is that not in the spirit of CPZs?

Agree totally Minkey. And not only trades but any other 'visitor' that may visit during the week.


I think it is a huge assumption that visitors only come in evening and at weekends. For example, there may be house-bound people who depend on visitors for care and company during the week.


I think that the prices charged for visitor permits are outrageous and disproportunate in amount. Residents should be given free visitor permits or at the most be charged a nominal amount. Frankly it is insulting to assume that we would hoard the permits and sell them on!!!

Hi The mnkey and Prickle,

Yes and no.

If the majority of residents want Controlled Parking Zone and choose the all week day operation choice then yes. But if they choose the 10-12 option then they'd only need a parking voucher if they arrive or leave during that time. I'd just book plumbers etc to arrive after noon or similar. But you would be able to say to visitors you should be ableto park close to the house. It's a trade off.

    • I live locally and am on Lordship Lane and North Cross Road most days. I've never been forced into traffic, or noticed any problem in any of these places! I appreciate that might be different with a buggy or mobility aid. I like to see people enjoying themselves outside. 
    • It's good that you've never personally had to experience poison being left but it is a known fact in this area. It's not fly tipping - people leave food out for foxes but there are also people who purposefully leave food out to kill animals.  
    • Totally recommend Aria. He goes the extra mile and as well as getting the job done and being very easy to deal with he is a very creative in finding solutions and offering advice
    • Just read this posting about the Blue Brick Cafe which I supported when they first applied to open. I Spoke out for them in front of three councillors because the council didn't want a cafe to continue there in a residential area. What a joy it has been seeing them there ever since and I though that it was the owner, Daniel, who had stopped putting the tables outside himself. Sorry to learn that it was Southwark Council putting a damper on things. I never noticed those table blocking the whole pavement and I live nearby and walk past regularly. One local, newly arrived resident in Fellbrigg Road tried the block the expansion of he North Cross Road street market some years ago - shame how some people have their own biased views. Sound like a bit of a situation up at the EDT though. Cheers!
