While I know that anyone can park anywhere etc, the three taxis parked on Crystal Palace Road have not moved for several months. No one uses them. They simply do not move. The Tom Gates one, the Rimmel one and the Russian airline one, all in the section between Pellat Road and Heber Road. Does anyone know who they belong to? Taxed but unused. It's upsetting the parking balance and it is time to go and park somewhere else now.

I know I can't force them to move but hoped this post might uncover some info about them.

I looked at the Southwark spine maps for the cycle route from Peckham to the Plough. The yellow lines at the junctions on Crystal Palace Road and the side roads just between the Great Exhibition and the Castle will result in the loss of 43 (yes 43) parking spaces. Now that will really upset the parking balance!

HI KK,

There is a thread about the Southwark Spine open now about two threads below this one. It directs you to https://consultations.southwark.gov.uk/environment-leisure/eastdulwichtopeckham/.

Scroll right down to the bottom and click on the consulation plan.PDF link to download detailed maps about the entire route including the details about the number of parking spaces lost at each junction. It's 15Mb so most probably too big for this forum. Apologies I'm not more conversant with how to add links on the EDF.

Not that I'm in favour but most of the lost parking spaces are down to the councils blanket approach to putting in yellow lines at all junctions. What's really galling is that the 16 proposed yellow lines on the roads that junction with Crystal Palace Road were excluded from the scheme that's going ahead because they were considered "Future project, e.g. Quietway" - well that Future Project is now here.
I wasn't really commenting on the scheme per se although I do dislike the blanket approach to yellow lines on residential roads. I was merely pointing out that the 3 taxis in the title of this thread will seem like small change in terms of lost parking spaces when this is complete.

Sometimes it is rather difficult to out-satire councils. From the document...


"A focus group with people who currently do not cycle was held on Saturday, 7 February 2015 at the Rockingham Centre, Elephant and Castle. The participants were all Bengali first or second generation residents living in the Elephant & Castle neighbourhood."

And meanwhile Southwark Council approve every planning application to convert small houses into 2/3 flats, and any corner plot like the old hairdressers' warehouse, the old police arms storage and the development on the corner of Heber/Lordship Lane etc etc into multiple rabbit hutches...

    • This thread brings back hazy memories from the early to mid-90s of a wine shop / off licence off Lordship Lane run by a bibulous chap who specialised in East European wines. It wasn't on a parade of shops but was on maybe Whateley Rd – or possibly Goodrich?? I used to walk past it when heading home from work and would drop in for a cheap bottle of Hungarian plonk. Someone tell me I'm not dreaming this... 🙂
    • The river Peck is partly underground if you live near the park and on its route
    • I have spent many years pondering the state of dampness in my basement and had composed a long and rather boring reponse. Have reduced it to bullet points: The cause of damp on the common wall with my neighbour was found to be caused by a slow leak their side which they were unaware of. Leak was repaired and dampness subsided. An experienced drainage man told me there are no underground rivers in East Dulwich My damp patches come and go and are more prevalent in summer when the humidity is high and barely there during the winter. I was considering getting a dehumidifier until I read they can suck the water out of walls/floor and make the problem worse.  
    • Thank you all for your input- we had the children with their mother for a few days. individually the children went out - one  to the theatre and Camden Market and Horniman's. The other to the transport museum and Leicester Square (could not get in to the Lego place so went into M & M place) also Dulwich Park with his Aunty and cousin. My daughter is a special needs teacher in Sussex and even though schools have closed, she had  to work 2 days (INSET Days)  one day she had a 3 hour zoom call with her colleagues as could not find a child minder, so worked from home, the next day the 9 year old spent the day with friends so she could go to work. At least with us she could get some respite from child care. After much negotiation, their father in Liverpool  has managed to get some leave from his new job for 2 weeks. My daughter will drive them to Oxford where Dad will pick up. This gives my daughter a few days  without children to catch up with various friends in the Midland's and Yorkshire. I will search the science school link as above as there maybe something in the October or February Half Terms which we could enrol the 9 year old in. We try to support our 3 daughters with child care but most of the grandchildren are grown up which leaves us with 9,11 and 15 year olds. We have not been asked to look after the 6 year and 3 year old great grandchildren - !!! We are firm believers that grandparents should be active in their grandchildren's lives and offer support where they can. I looked after my eldest granddaughter when she was a baby and toddler one day a week so my daughter could work. My granddaughter is now 26 and we are very close as she is the only one living in London. The others are scattered around Kent, Sussex and Essex.
