Well said Wil72. It?s really important that those not in favour fill in the questionnaire and state they do not want it. It?s also worth bearing in mind that the council will be selling more permits than there are spaces...so the problem won?t be solved...we?ll just be paying for it!!

Only 98 residents have asked for this since 2015...is this what you class as a ?lot? of people Southwark??

James Barber - Do you have any evidence to substantiate local businesses vandalising parking plates? I don't recall there being any? Please shed some light.

The problem is that they?re saying ?125.00 ?initially?! We all know that once it?s in the price will keep on going up! Just google other neighbourhoods and you?ll see. It was only on the news and in the papers yesterday about the death of local high streets caused by local councils...

I don?t think we should start making ?assumptions? on how local businesses will be affected without speaking to them first. Several I?ve spoken with are extremely concerned, one even stated that it could affect up to 30% of their trade.

That?s all OK if people want to buy a few items that they can carry, anything more won?t be possible. In turn making the ease of large supermarkets like Sainsbury?s far more appealing. I also don?t see how a 30 minute window is helpful for anyone wanting to do their shopping...it would definitely stop them from using one of the local cafes or restaurants. This is very concerning and has been the death of many high streets...let?s not let ours be next!

It's recently come to our attention that the council are yet again proposing controlled parking on all the side streets off Lordship Lane. Whilst fewer cars would be welcome, I have grave concerns for our lovely and unique high street which makes East Dulwich what it is today. Surely this will massively disrupt the trade of all our lovely shops and in turn kill the high street? Imagine Lordship Lane without all it's indpendents... I for one love the Lane and would hate to see it affected in this way. (Title changed as there are lots of CPZ discussions going on and we don't need separate ones - Admin)
