Has anyone else been a victim of the confusion over parking on Gallery Road?


I would like to appeal to anyone who has been fined there recently to get in touch, as I believe the lack of signage is criminal and wonder if the council are exploiting motorist's confusion over white lines etc. and are using that road as a revenue raising exercise.


It's clearly a matter of confusion, since Dulwich Picture Gallery actually have to explain the parking on their website.


We were ticketed on a Sunday when the Steam Carter Fair was on, and every car along that road was parked half on the footpath, it must have been a joyous day for the council.


Anyone else out there experienced this? I'd love to make a group appeal, or at least get signage up there to stop other people losing ?60.

Yes but on that road you can, there are areas when you can park on the footpath, the confusion lies where the continuous white lines are - many motorists are confused, particularly on Sundays. Just drive down there yourself. There are many areas on this road where you can park on the footpath, motorists are confused on Sundays and clearly do not know what the white lines mean - apparently, according to the Dulwich Picture Gallery website, the white lines mean you can park anywhere but just not on the footpath. It is clearly causing confusion, if you check this out you will see, why are the Dulwich Picture Gallery having to explain this in capital letters to visitors??

See below what they say on their website:

? If you park on Gallery Road, please observe the parking restrictions even though parking is free on this road. There are demarcation lines on one side which allows you to partially park on the pavement. Everywhere else you MUST NOT park on the pavement or you will be subject to a parking fine. The single white lines on other areas of the road do not indicate that you cannot park.ENDS


Is it not clear enough, otherwise so many motorists wouldn't be subjecting themselves to ?60 fines.

Anyone else been a victim of this confusion?

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      The problem with the first Southwark leadership election is that two proxy votes were cast, which is against Southwark's own party rules. So that is why the election was re-run. The controversy is in switching to an online as opposed to in person second election. James has causes he vehemently stands for, and it's fair enough if he thinks the local Labour Party is no longer for him. Government is not easy, and there are hard decisions to be made always. London councils have always had a better deal when it comes to central funding, and anyone who travels to the North frequently can see the stark difference. It's that failure to see the bigger picture that I find most surprising about his comments. Sure, as a local councillor he should be always arguing for local needs, but reform of central government funding to give more help to poorer regions has been a long held aim by this Labour Party, and especially since Brexit, where poorer regions benefitting from EU grants lost out.  As always, it will be the public that decides at the ballot box.

      I'd be interested to know how else you award points when deciding what party to vote for!

      Recommendation for a cockapoo breeder

      By Froglander · Posted

      Why not get a real poodle.  They can be clipped to look like a cockapoo if you like.  They don’t need to be in a show clip.  They don’t shed.    Both breeds would need regular grooming.  I have/had friends with very charming poodles both medium and standard so see if you can make the acquaintance of some.
