Myself and my neighbour both live on a road with a CPZ and Crystal Palace Road is the nearest road to us without a CPZ so we both park our cars on CPR pretty much daily and nightly, as its quite an effort to apply for a permit to park near our own homes!, hence me being somewhat knowledgable on parking on that road.

Sorry for my tone coming across as rude, I was simply trying to help.

Utter rubbish, its very possible to park on CP road, I do it all the time, especially on a Saturday, i'd suggest you go to a driving school where they specialise with sessions on 'how to park your car'

Anywhere on Crystal palace road is fine

Sexism is far from being "great" Sue!, what is it you find "great" exactly?

HA, ha, ha.....thats brilliant, you Mr Mick Max, are a very funny person indeed!, have you considered stand up?

Good grief!

Can a grown man not innocently 'rub one out' in the privacy of some foliage anymore without some self absorbed fitness fanatic pervertedly watching them??

Whats the world coming to?

Excellent news, we use one in SE15, they're a godsend for our 3 bike household!

Don't under estimate the abilities of an 11 year old! ;-)

Its downhill all the way pretty much, when the lights are on your side its around 5-7 mins, slowest around 9 mins, don't forget on a bike you can take the quickest 'line', in a car you're restricted to keeping to the designated lanes which often increases the distance.

I ride this route twice a day, via my commute, everyday of the week, takes me around 5 mins to get from CP to my home near Goose Green.

Is cycling an option?

Can dogs commit trespass?

Why don't you grow a pair Woodstock and stop twitching your curtains spying on potentially innocent passers by and speak to the dog owner next time he/she walks past?......as i'm sure you know most dog walkers frequent the same routes at around the same time. I'd bet the owner simply missed his/her beloved Shep curling one out whilst he/she was busy on the phone! I'm sure they'd apologise if they knew.

You need to get a life mate!

Its a 7 second job with a bucket of water! If selfish people like you stopped paving over their gardens so they can park their precious cars then dogs might not need to take a dump on the pavement.

Update....a further 78 have been installed in Southwark since the summer, taking the total hangars to around 99 I think!, my girlfriends using one and is most happy with it! :-)

Better still, link to the offending tweet here https://twitter.com/ayres_the_baker/status/788394659097767937

Don't see what all the fuss is about with regard to the scaffolding being stolen, I really doubt they'd have the time what with those badly tarmacked drives and the gathering of all that lucky heather they're busy with! ;-)
