Hi, today we?ve just received another PCN from the Southwark Council, alleging a driving contravention on Townley road. The PCN had a picture of our vehicle committing the alleged offence. On the day in question we did not use our car. We can only surmise that Southwark?s automated computer system has used a different ?picture? from the previous contravention (a traffic enforcement camera ?picture? is actually a video still). We strongly suggest anyone who has recently received a PCN, for any alleged driving contraventions involving any of the new cameras installed in East Dulwich in the last six Months, and if you have already paid a fine, then to complain, and to challenge the Council. You may have been fined more than once for the same alleged driving contravention.
  • 4 weeks later...

Fines from cameras in a Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) run by Southwark Council in London have generated ?2.5 million in revenue just three months after the scheme?s launch, data from a Freedom of Information (FOI) request reveals.


A large amount of fixed penalty charges have been issued to road users by three?LTN cameras installed in Dulwich and one in Walworth.


In Dulwich Village, drivers have received?22,424 fines?between January 11 and February 28 2021

Although this will not change anything about penalties already issued you can register for the consultation on the review until 10 May 2021 and you will be advised when the consultation is issued. Register at

https://consultations.southwark.gov.uk/environment-leisure/dulwich-review-registration-form/


You will still be able to respond to the consultation if you don?t register but this will make sure you are aware its been issued.

Would you happen to know which one on Walworth is it?


I got a PCN on an outrageous LTN scheme camera on Manor Place Road - road with one lane blocked (ironically) by Southwark Council's houseing scheme work (blocked for at least 4 years and a massive hazard) and the one lane that's open has 4 traffic signs.


It's as if someone was seeking a way to make money.

Such fines should only be usable to reduce the council tax of residents. Then we would see what is actually needed....


The problem is the legislation, which allows usage only to use the fines for the transport part of council budget. Of course, without the fines, that money would have to come from council tax...


Total stupidity... The roads are public property yet councils are allowed to ransom us for driving on them. Go figure.

    • Yes. I imagine the retail environment is complex and with every change there are winners and losers. The end of retail price maintenance meant the big supermarket chains could undercut small grocers, and specialist shops, the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker  Allowing supermarkets to open longer meant the corner shop lost some of its advantages. Changing consumer demographics, the move to the big shop by car (and now on line) rather than walking or getting the bus into town several times a week, put more pressure in small retailers. But against all this we have niche outlets, farmers markets and the like doing well. Comparing Peckham and East Dulwich is interesting, one has numerous fresh food shops offering good value, the other has products generally costing much more, with their own USPs. Shops come and go, trends come and go, and there is always a risk that demand disappears, or there is more competition. Good discussions thanks.  To open it up rather than dwell on the retail environment, how do cheese stalls at the Horniman and Herne Hill farmers market fare?  Assuming they are still there - haven't shopped at Horniman since it moved from Saturday and recent visits to Herne Hill have been to buy lunch when going to Brockwell Park.
    • Hi all, Does anyone know what is going on with the large vacant warehouse right next to the kwikfit? It's been vacant for quite a while now and I am wondering what happened or what is going to happen to it
    • Some surveyors / damp specialists are linked to companies that do the remedial work. avoid - these people have one solution  which they apply to every damp problem irrespective of its cause. After wasting a lot of money on a big company damp specialist with a useless guarantee I found independentspecialistsurveys.co.uk   - His comprehensive report covered everything from gutters to location of furniture and size of ventilators. I would totally recommend him. 
    • For some reason post boxes feel like something from another age. The only time I seem to use them is to post my used ink cartridges to HP for recycling, or my used contact lenses and cases  to Vision Direct, ditto (I don't buy the lenses from there, but they take them anyway). I hardly ever send physical cards any more, and I can't think of anything  else I'd ever post which didn't require me to queue at the Post Office to get proof of sending and/or delivery. And it also feels ridiculous in the twenty first century that we are still calling our postal system "Royal Mail"!
