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.

A massive chunk of it goes to APCOA (Airport Parking Company of America), who deal with fees/fines etc

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.

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??

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!

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.

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

Ontherun, are they painting double yellow lines? Those would come into force 24/7 as soon as they are painted.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
