Nunhead proposed controlled parking zone

[lilaclou]

Don’t know how people feel about this proposed zone but the leaflet doesn’t give any option in their “resident survey” to oppose the plans. Which I feel is pretty poor show. I’ve written to the councillors Renata Hamvas and Victoria Mills about this. If anyone else feels the same please can you write also.

Warning from the future! Ours (Bellenden) started at a cost that covered ‘administration’ . It has just doubled in cost without notice.

Does Nunhead need it ? 

I suspect not, so the cynical me has to ask why and what benefit it delivers to residents or the council. The latter I think is obvious, the former not so.

money cow .....that's what it's for

What are the boundaries of the proposed zone/s, have they said?

Consultation here 

https://consultations.southwark.gov.uk/environment-leisure/nunheadcpz2022/

Absolutely nowhere to object to the proposal which IMHO makes it a flawed consultation and open to challenges.

OObviously part of the master plan to nibble away at parking provisions until there is no areas without a CPZ regardless if its needed or not.

Dear sir/madam,

I am writing to express my concerns about the proposal for parking-controlled zones in Nunhead. As a resident of this area, I believe that this measure seems unnecessary and inconvenient. It will only add to the financial burden of residents who are already experiencing a cost-of-living crisis.

While I understand the importance of regulating parking in busy areas, I don't believe it is difficult in our area. Moreover, the introduction of parking permits can make things worse for locals. This is especially true when considering the risk of hefty fines for parking in the wrong area. I feel that there should be a more equitable solution that doesn't unfairly penalise residents who are just trying to go about their daily lives.

It's unfortunate that the introduction of these zones was decided without first seeking residents' input through a biased questionnaire, which did not ask the question of whether residents wanted the introduction of controlled parking zones in Nunhead. I think the Southwark Council need to reissue this questionnaire to the residents of Nunhead asking if they wish for this measure to be taken.

I hope that you will take my concerns into consideration and work to find a solution that benefits everyone in the community.

Yours faithfully,

Just saw this on nextdoor

obviously the wishes of the residents are being respected here by the council

Southwark do what they want. So called consultation is a waste of time.  Don't forget that Southwark have their own so called green targets to meet and enforced parking restrictions can be used to meet a percentage of these. Along with Bill and Ben flower pot men closing roads and signs being set back it is a money making scheme. Money is the only reason for this. 

[John OShea]

It will cost each resident £225 a year to park their car in the street as opposed to nothing at the moment. Who would want that except the fake resident that Southwark Council mentions in their leaflet perhaps? They have not conducted a true consultation exercise or even a survey to determine what people think. In short, just lies and propaganda to get their way and force people to pay for something that is not necessary or desired.

That sounds pretty reasonable cost to me.  I am sure the money will be well spent on local services.  From my calculation the average motorist is saving far more than this with fuel duty frozen for the last 17 years, and being reduced (in theory temporarily) by the current government.  So cheer up motorists.

Malumbu - Are you the fake resident I referred to by any chance? 🤓
