dulmum (is there a trademark infringement with the dulwichmum name there?)


Are you aware this topic has been discussed pretty thoroughly already in other threads - I realise you may (or may not) be referring to Foxtons but the parking discussions in those threads probably apply equally to other estate agents.


Might be best to raise this in the existing threads rather than starting another

I doubt it. A car is a car - and if taxed, MOT'd etc is legally allowed to use the roads. Equally allowed to park wherever there is a legal space. In my area cars drive to the Crimean triangle (new name - my own) and park to catch the 63 / 363 into London. As they don't carry stickers I have no idea what company they are from - just as annoying but unattributable.


An alternative would be residents parking permits, reducing parking available to "out of psotcoders" - which we do not want. Cost and council bureaucracy - horrible combination.

I'm still refining it - how about Crimean Quadrant - there are four roads; Marmora, Scutari, Therapia and Mundania.

Yep Mike - that's the area worth exploring. This law originally targets people like car dealers and otherwise unworthy types who might park up a container and start trading.


I think you could argue that since the cars are intended both as a service for customers (getting them to and from potential properties) and as an advertising hoarding, that when not used (and hence parked), they are 'stored commercial equipment'.


I'd form a collective action group and pursue the enquiry initially through the CAB and local government.


While you're at it, you could target that 'man with a van' who dumps his burgundy thirty year old transits in opportune places buggering up the view.

I think Foxtons is the straw that is breaking the camels back. We are reaching saturation point in the streets off Northcross Road on a Friday and Saturday which will be made worse when it is pedestrianised. What is really galling is the sight of clusters of agents strolling up and down the road breezily chatting to their clients as if it were a commercial facility.
It may work, but there is a precedent here. On the opening night one of my neighbours phoned Foxton's to complain about the huge number of cars parked on our street and went straight through to voice mail. Half an hour later they called back screamed 'fuck off' down his mobile and hung-up. On this evidence, I can't really see the reasonable approach getting very far.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
