Hi I received a penalty charge notice today for going into the bus lane at the top of Rye Lane, I have never driven through Peckham before so was trying to navigate. I should have gone left and re-entered the one way system I suppose, but it was confusing. I can't remember seeing a turn left sign, or a sign on a post that I was entering a bus lane. Has anyone else been unfortuanate or better still contested this pcn....please no smug 'you should have cycled' nonsense, I cycle most of the time.....

Hi. Same happened to me. It just feels natural to go straight but if you go back and look you will see the signs. I asked for video but there's no getting out of it. Must say its pretty dangerous turning left then right to carry on going straight. No need for it. Just a money making scheme

Really there should be a way out as if you don't know the area and are behind 3

large buses you'd never see it coming - there's bad design there.


When it was a one way system you couldn't do the left-right thing -

which is dangerous IMHO.


But the law is the law :)

You can see the photos if you go online. This happened to me. I think I had one tyre in the bus lane, I contested it and never heard back. So perhaps look to see what you did from the photos. The details of how to see this should be on the penalty notice. You can also contest it online.

Foggy - sorry about your penalty charge. I think Southwark (and Lambeth) signage is terrible, especially if you're new to the area.


Then again, I always enjoy driving down the bus lane coming down from Peckham Rye towards the ED leisure centre towards Goose Green on a Sunday.

I do it with startling regularity - waiting for one to come through now actually.


Pay it with contempt and villify the council for their money making schemes - was there a pot hole in the vacinity that caused you to swerve into that lane and once in it you went with it as any other further manouver would be deemed unsafe and pose a risk to the general public ?


Worth a try and they will have to investigate - the cost of the investigation (checking the road and the maintenance records) will be more expensive than your fine....winwin.


On second thoughts your screwed - STOP press there may be hope.


If my stree tview image is correct and the sign is except for acess tell them you needed to access it http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?f=10&t=817356

Absolutely agree about the problem of following a bus and missing the signage .


And while we're on the subject - Southwark have changed their pay by telephone parking system .


So DONT RELY ON A TEXT TO WARN THAT TIME IS RUNNING OUT - they're no longer sent .

      Nursery school

      By tomem · Posted

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
