Weekend parking North Cross Road

[Simon4360]

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

Anywhere on Crystal palace road is fine

Hi Simon4360,

The market operates on North Cross Road between Lordship Lane and Archdale Road - so any where out side that area within the normal restrictions of yellow lines and corners.

[intexasatthe moment]

Maybe Whateley Rd ?

[kibris]

Why dont you come out of your home and have a walk around and see where best is to park.

[treehugger]

Perhaps because they want to use the crowdsourced knowledge of the forum?

[Simon4360]

Thanks All!

It is virtually impossible to park anywhere in the vicinity of NorthX Rd, CP Rd and any of the side streets on a Saturday. Suggest you consider Darrell and Hindmans Road.

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.

Some people really need to find something better to do than trolling perfectly reasonable requests with abuse - and going through the classifieds offering people 25% of the asking price...it's sad.

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.

During the week you may be lucky to find a parking spot on CP Rd but rarely on a Saturday

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?

Where is there a CPZ near Crystal Palace Road?

I wondered that. In fact I've wondered about all TS1973's posts.

[bermygirl31]

@kibris Why don't you use your energy to be pleasant instead of being a rude smart ass?!

WUM.
