Please read and understand the message that is listed below. Southwark is only interested in raising money not the requirements of its residents. I believe parks should be for the use of all residents not just Dulwich resident able to walk to the park Email sent by Spider69 posted on the forum "Below is an email that I sent to Southwark regarding the park charges, I have not had a response. This is the real damage these charges will cause not the reasons given by some above. Perhaps people should consider what is written below. As many of you are aware Council Tax will rise this year by 4% Try applying for a Blue Badge, it is not that easy as various articles in the Southwark News have thrown up. Dear People,(Richard Livingstone, Eleanor Kelly and Peter John) It has just been posted on the Dulwich Forum that the parking charge is going ahead as it would seem that the payment signs are already up to be used but are hidden. Although I have posted before my opposition I have heard not a word until the Forum put it up just now. I have circulation problem with my feet whereby I need to walk a lot. My dog and I use Dulwich Park once a day and sometimes twice as it is flat and pleasant and does not put to much pressure on my metatarsal bones due to fat loss. It gives us both the exercise that Doctors recommend. Prior to Champion Hill closing it took me 10/12 minutes by car to reach the park. Now I am looking at 25minutes sometimes more to get there. Another ill thought out scheme. Now that this charge is being brought in I will have to consider if I can afford to go for 2/3 hours a day combined with other factors. Before the normal comments are made if I have to take public transport, which involves 2 buses and walking the journey will take a min of 40 minutes or longer each way. That time depends if the bus/s turns up on time or at all. My house is situated in the middle of a hill away from public transport. So it is already difficult to reach a starting point. Combine that with having a dog and the prospect does not really appeal after testing it. Getting a bus with a dog presents problems as mothers with prams that look like tanks take up most of the limited space parking space and space between the seats is very limited. So looking to use my local park which I have done for almost 73 years a return journey will now take me around 90 minutes without the time spent in the park. Factor into that being tired after walking, and it rains having a wet dog on a bus which will not please some the park is really getting out of reach. 6 days a week for me will cost ?24/36 a week extra for something that I already pay towards with my Council tax, which is over ?2000+ for this year. I cannot afford to pay to use my local park Some families will also have to make this decision. Locals in the Dulwich Park area can walk with no problem but others that are not and have have to travel with children, toddler bikes, scooters, toys and the family dog will have to consider if they can afford the park which is crazy. Getting on a bus is most of the time not an option. It might appear to some that the park and it surrounds is turning into a middle class ghetto which might just be used by only close residents. This is wrong. It is strange that Southwark keep pushing fitness but continue to make it difficult for many. Again another decision whilst looking at in a meeting has just not been thought through before putting it into operation. Southwark keep saying they need money and yet when reading comments on the Dulwich Forum Southwark can waste ?25,000.00 on a road improvement scheme at Bellenden Road and Avondale Rise which was not necessary beyond one resident suggesting it would look it would look pretty. I would appreciate one of you letting me know why this is happening when there is overwhelming opposition to it and why you are cutting people off from using this and other parks. I look forward to hearing from you." Regards Has anyone commented on this problem applicable to many people , no. Do Southwark Cllrs care no. Do senior Southwark management reply no. Parks should be free to all that pay Council tax. Remember we all have to get old.

Parking in Dulwich Park and other parks for instance. Many many objections but they just carried on.

Firstly "Dear Councillor Ali, Thank you for your email. We are still progressing the implementation of the new car parking policy and you will have received information regarding the start date, earlier today. That said, I wanted to get back to you on the specific issue you raised below. After installation the signs were covered, however subsequently some signs were uncovered by individuals visiting the park which lead to confusion over whether the charging had started. Those who have been in touch to let us know they have paid in error are having refunds processed. If you have any further questions please free to contact me directly." Secondly "Dear Councillors We write to inform you that we propose to commence charging for parking in the following parks from Monday 24 February 2020: ? Burgess Park ? Dulwich Park ? Honor Oak Park ? Peckham Rye Park ? Southwark Park From that date a flat rate parking charge of ?2 per hour will apply at all times. This is payable via the PaybyPhone cashless parking. Blue Badge holders will be exempt from these charges. The Traffic Management Order (TMO) will be made next week. The legal requirement is for the order to be circulated to statutory consultees, (including ward councillors) and for the order to be published in the London Gazette. The TMO will circulated next week and published in the London Gazette on Thursday 13 February and is enforceable after 3 days. However, we have agreed to give the public a minimum of two weeks notice prior to commencing charging. Therefore emails will be sent to all relevant stakeholders and posters notifying of the start date have been displayed in the relevant car parks. The permanent signs that show information on how to pay are currently covered and will remain so until the morning of Monday 24 February. A useful suggestion was also made that it may be beneficial to also display posters explaining the reasoning behind the decision to commence charging for parking and this has been done (see attached) and these posters are also on display at the above sites. The introduction of charges to park motor vehicles in park car parks is in line with our Climate Emergency declaration, and aim for the borough to be carbon neutral by 2030. Discouraging car use is expected to lead to fewer cars on the roads which will benefit the community by improving road safety as well as reducing emissions. In addition, ongoing budget pressures mean that it has become necessary to find new ways of offsetting costs so the high standards in our parks can be maintained. These changes will also address the issue of commuters using park car parks, freeing up spaces for visitors to the park. The Mayor for London?s Transport Strategy says that provision for car parking should be restricted and aims for 80% of journeys to be made by walking, cycling or public transport, thus reducing car journeys. We are installing new bike racks in all of our parks with car parks, to help with this. We hope that those who are able to, will adopt more sustainable modes of transport, and that this will help to improve air quality for everyone in Southwark. Kind regards,"

Council will start charging 24th February. They certainly took all the objections and reasons not to in to consideration

Probably because the parking is free. Goods can be taken home in the car and you and purchases are not crushed into a dirty, sweaty space that is public transport. Children can be transported in a safe manner and you do not have to worry that a traffic warden will give you a ticket for being 1 or 2 minutes late. Also you can decided when you want to leave and not be left standing at a bus stop for a packed or non existent bus.

And what will be the result, slap on the wrist and free tickets to Chessington World of Adventure

When you contact Head Office you now have to go through "Resolver" a fire wall it seems for for complaints. They also do not answer apart from a message that says we will look into this. Then nothing.

Maybe it's just me but I seem to notice that prices seem to increasing, not by much that you would really notice if you did not know what the previous prices were. It does seem to be pennies that you might just miss but they all add up.

How about trying to save free car access to Dulwich Park, an institution that is used by all.

I recall posting to Southwark my views on this matter when they requested community views. I also remember people that used Dulwich Park having meetings with Southwark on this but have never received any feed back either from Southwark or any information on the outcome from those that were consulted by Southwark. What happened to Southwark's feed back to the community before they slipped this through. Does anyone have any information on this

Another TMO which can > just happen with no consultation. Southwark has just supplied the cost of these works which were agreed back in January 2018 by local Cllrs. The cost came to ?25,000.00 I cannot see there has been an upgraded improvement over what was there before. Could the money have been spent better elsewhere?

Do these people pay Southwark to take away parking from residents? Is this yet another cash raising exercise slipping in under the radar?

Why were all local residents not consulted on this and why did our Lane Cllrs not even bring the matter to every ones attention? Where did the funding come from?

Does any one know what the road works are about at the bottom of Avondale Rise? Something to do with the spine? What these road works will do is make the traffic flows impossible, or will all the P13 routes and car routes be moved, do Southwark actually know what they are doing?

What happens when people are away on holiday and bins are just plonked anywhere and can stay there forever. I have had bins parked on my front steps that do not belong to me. Nobody in my area would even think of putting bins back where they came from even when they have numbers painted on. Most places in my area are three flat victorian conversions with young renters who do not give a damm. Most workable and tried and tested systems evolve over time unlike now by a untested PC idea.

Why should he? if caught, not likely, slap on the wrist and free tickets to Chessington World of Adventure or some thing similar.

If you are unhappy get them to change it. It's your life that is a stake.

Second one, few weeks ago large phallic picture painted on the road up by the Court Lane entrance a few weeks ago.

Has anyone noticed that when Southwark brings in in arrangements for anything it usually results in chaos? The new operations by some bin men seems to be throw the bins anywhere. Why were there no major problems before? It is summer people are away and bins seem to be thrown into house entrances to be left till people return from holiday. My bins were always taken and put back just inside the front entrance now they seem thrown anywhere to save time. Advertising we are away. Putting bins back by neighbours as many places are transient renters seems to be a thing of the past. Written to Southwark and the police about this, ignored.

I have been told that so far only 8,000 people in Southwark have signed up for the brown bin.

Most of the zebras should be repainted many you cannot see.

I do not understand why people say large food caddy, I road tested it it takes only 2X 25 litre bags.2 1 fits the very small caddy. What will happen if you produce more than 2 bags? Badly thought out scheme from start to finish
