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.

    • Gosh, calm down.. How about not getting so heated, and not eat for 24 hours with sips of water? Try it and you may, just may understand, starvation, no water. No meds at all even if you need them - hasten to add, don’t do it at all if you are medically dependent. In fact, why doesn’t ED - do this for half a day - say in Oct, when everyone has come back from enjoying their, hols, new term starting and as a community, we could all be 1.? Before, November, fireworks, etc.                    
    • Many thanks I have sent them a message  
    • Stop foreign aid spend and re-direct those funds to improve the lives of UK citizens.  People shouldn't have to rely on charities and food banks, their is enough food wasted in this country already which could be re-directed.  Let their own Govts feed them, why does the UK have to do it, how about other nations contributing.  Well if aid can't reach them, how are they supposed to be fed if as you say food parcels being dropped from planes doesn't work.  Lets sort out this country first and put UK citizens first for a change.   
    • Well that really is not Christian Spirit at all - we all live in this world and yes, totally agree that it would be wonderful to have no conflict in the world but that is not possible. Yes we have people in need of food  in this country but overall enough charities and organisation in the west to help. We are talking about thousands of people who are starving - not just going hungry - a huge difference would you not agree ? Aid can’t reach people - for whatever conflict and don’t think people dropping parcels, boxes etc from planes would be the answer either.
