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...

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
