Parking at Plough warning


Recommended Posts

The Plough has just introduced camera controlled parking which is free for their customers but costs ?4 for up to an hour for everyone else. This seems to be to deter the short term parking by people who visit the local shops, or collect children from St. Anthony's, for instance, but it was so handy (and appreciated) as often difficult to park in nearby streets. Now the car park will be empty during the greater part of the day when people are not eating/drinking at the Plough. Driving past it in search of a parking place elsewhere will annoy potential customers, not encourage them.


Even if you want to pay to park you can only pay by phone. Wonder what will happen with the Christmas trees sold for charity there as you have to park there to pick one up.

Yes..


But how does the Camera Know if you enter the pub or not. Or if you buy anything.

You enter the car Park. The Camera uses ANPR to register your registration and then what. ???

When you go to the bar, there's an iPad type thing there and you have to put your registration in. At least, I assume that's the case, it's how a similar place local to me operates but I've not been to The Plough. Other than to go to Sainsbury's there...

Yesterday there was a handwritten piece of paper put on the pub wall saying that you should give your car registration number inside the Plough. That appears to mean that every incoming vehicle numberplate will be logged somewhere and the staff of the Plough will then stop your particular vehicle from receiving a ticket.


Best keep receipts from any drink and food there just in case.

    • There are genuine risks for engineers working on cell towers, I believe, but the microwave effects attenuate very swiftly with distance meaning that those consumers, and residents, served by the towers are effectively risk free. The worst impact is aesthetic rather than medical, and the communications and computing etc. benefits offered by 5G tend to mitigate these for most people who have and use mobile telephony. Considering what else is out there in our built environment I personally don't think aesthetic objections trump the utility of better communications infrastructure. 
    • I think the concern is the mast being so close to a school as well?
    • There is a planning application to put a mobile phone mast at the top of Dog Kennel Hill.  Residents of Camberwell Grove and their friends in the Camberwell Society are fighting it - defacing their nice conservation area with ugly laminated posters!  They do not benefit from it as reception is fine on their side of the hill. https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=makeComment&keyVal=S9IKT2KBN1200 I do not think there are any health hazards from being near phone masts (or at least they are negligible relative to everyday risks we all face).  Anyway, here is what the NHS has to say about them: https://111.wales.nhs.uk/encyclopaedia/m/article/mobilephonesafety/#Risks I imagine this will spark some lively debate!
