macutd Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Why has the council got three men not abiding by the 2 meter rule, painting white lines for the CPZ?Surely this is not a critical job that needs to continue at this time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peckhampam Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I really do not understand the bash the council brigade. I?m not talking about the rights or wrongs of implementing the CPZ, I?m talking about comments like the council is greedy and can?t help themselves. Where do you think the money is going ? It doesn?t go into councillors pockets but into public services which Southwark provides better than many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin68 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 That would be, stop housebuilding as not necessary at this time, but keep on punishing car owners. And lucky man has got off the election hook for a year. Rejoice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Barber Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Southwark council is the only council in the country, and legal advice given in the lords suggests illegally, to make redundancy payments to Councillors holding Special Responsibilities when they choose to stand down from those positions or lose at an election. So broadly you're correct. But Southwark is extraordinarily uniquely generous to some Councillors.Peckhampam Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> I really do not understand the bash the council> brigade.

crozza Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Looks like everyone in the effected area needs to move there cars on Monday. Utterly crazy. Not helping the isolation and must affect 100s of vehicles. Surely this can be stopped.Great to see the parking police out in force too. Surely that?s not essential??

dbboy Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Not just workers lives but those of the police and car drivers plus wherever cars are moved too. This needs to stop in the current circumstances - but it won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PippaD Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Myself and friends have contacted the council, and Southwark news,Southwark news not responded to either tweets or mail but Southwark parking have stated that as from Monday the new CPZ will be in full effect,Even after it was pointed out that people are struggling to pay basic bills, but they don't care!

Ontherun Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 The controlled zone is not starting on Monday, they are preparing the roads. I don't think it comes into force until 22nd May '20. I've been amazed to see Southwark employees putting up signs and marking roads in preparation for this when we're in the midst of a pandemic but I guess some life/works are continuing as normal.

Zig-Zag Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 ...and Southwark still top or near top for prevalence of the virus in London boroughs. Pretty disgraceful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monica Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Hi we received the following email from Councillor Livingstone on Friday. Dear Ms xxxxxx Further to my previous email, I am writing to update you regarding the East Dulwich controlled parking zone.. In light of the current COVID-19 government advice, we have temporarily suspended the introduction of the East Dulwich CPZ until the current working restrictions are lessened. As I am sure you can appreciate, it is not possible to provide accurate timescales on when works will recommence but we will look to update all interested parties through the relevant page on the council website as soon as possible, which can be found at the following weblink: [www.southwark.gov.uk] Best wishes Councillor Richard Livingstone Labour councillor for Old Kent Road ward Cabinet Member for Environment, Transport and the Climate Emergency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macutd Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 Wow! does that mean the no parking signs in Trossachs Rd so that they can finish the bits that they missed will be taken down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkT Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 "The controlled zone is not starting on Monday, they are preparing the roads.

Ontherun Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 No, no change to yellow lines. They've just added white line markings and put up the CPZ signs which were then immediately covered with bin liners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micromacromonkey Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 FFS I finally got the website to accept my details and paid for the year's permit, only to find it wasn't necessary (just yet). I wonder if we'll get the unused days refunded/added on aat the end? Unlikely I guess as all parking companies are simply the worst kind of arseholes.
