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.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
