Hi,


I've recently moved into a property on North Cross Road, East Dulwich. I don't have a car in London so parking is never a consideration for me, but this weekend I have family coming to stay with me. I'm wondering where I am best to instruct them to park as the market will be on on Saturday?


Thanks

Simon

Utter rubbish, its very possible to park on CP road, I do it all the time, especially on a Saturday, i'd suggest you go to a driving school where they specialise with sessions on 'how to park your car'

why are you so rude and combative? coming from Peckham and parking on CPR - 'I do it all the time especially on a Saturday' does not makes you cleverer than anyone else but makes it difficult for my daughter with baby, family/visitors/deliveries, or indeed any residents to find a parking space close to their own front doors to enable unloading/loading of shopping/children/elderly on a Saturday morning. This road and others nearby do not exist solely for your convenience.



I dare say, you will be legally parked, and 'entitled' but thoughtful and considerate clearly does not factor.

nor your unnecessary and nasty put down of Pugwash's parking skills and helpful suggestions.

Myself and my neighbour both live on a road with a CPZ and Crystal Palace Road is the nearest road to us without a CPZ so we both park our cars on CPR pretty much daily and nightly, as its quite an effort to apply for a permit to park near our own homes!, hence me being somewhat knowledgable on parking on that road.


Sorry for my tone coming across as rude, I was simply trying to help.

Sorry if I'm being dim, but have I understood this correctly?


You and your neighbour live on a road with a CPZ, which means that people who don't live on your road can't park there, as the CPZ presumably was introduced to ensure that residents (including you and your neighbour) are able to park in their own road.


But you don't want to make the effort to apply for the permit which would enable you to park in your own road.


So you both park on CPR "pretty much daily and nightly", thus taking up spaces which people who live on CPR could otherwise use. Those people probably include parents with small children having to carry the children and all their paraphernalia from their car to their house; people with heavy things which they find it hard to carry a long way; people with mobility problems which aren't severe enough to qualify for a disabled parking space; people having to make several trips to and from their car with luggage, shopping etc..


Do you not find something a bit wrong with that? Especially given that the residents of CPR are not able to park in your road.


To be clear: I am not suggesting that only people who live in CPR should park there. I am suggesting that to park there night and day when you could quite easily park in your own road with a small amount of effort on your part is ..... well, you decide.


Or is there something I've missed here?

Ah, OK.


I fell for it.


WUM.

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
