New Controlled Parking Zone - north of E.Duwlich train tracks

[crozza]

Having lived in ED for 12 years. For 11 parking was totally fine.

But the last 12 months have been getting worse and worse.

Much as i hate the idea to pay to park (especially when you look at the costs of permits), i can't really see another option.

For me it definitely commuters, more recently builders (Charter, Alleyns, Jags. Then the squeeze from other parking schemes as they roll out.

Its set to get worse with the New Charter opening, and the health centre. Plus the extension of double yellow lines on every conrer in the area.

Over Xmas and New year it was absolutely fine (as it always is) - so the cars clogging the streets are clearly not residents.(Yes I appreciate some residents were away too, but a lot were home)

The Herne Hill Scheme seems to work a treat. How can we get one?

PS. I'm a cyclist, and a runner, I use the bus and train (but I like the option of using a car too when needed). Don't hate me.

These schemes are ridiculous. Once every single place is 'residents only', everyone will be able to have a car parked on their street, they just won't be able to take it anywhere.

There are normally several pay per hour parking spaces included in the scheme.

The borough wide scheme in chelsea works very well. It wouldnt work in southwark because of things like the huge size or the number of people that live out here but work close to the other end of the borough in the city etc.

But larger zones than one or two streets (e.g. whole council wards) where a permit is valid throughout might be more practical.

Doesn't that just encourage car use for short journeys?

Do you have any dates when this meeting will take place

Thanks

rah rah , I don't think it would encourage shorter journeys any more than does the completely unrestricted parking in place in a lot of East Dulwich.

What a joke of a decision.

I'm on a street within the new CPZ (this is the first I've heard of this, nothing sent to residents) and in 11 years living on this street, I've not had an issue parking. Obviously some people get into hysterics if they aren't within 3 metres of their front door.

The street has pressure from the station, the football ground, the Dominos pizza and currently as I look out has 3 skips on it, and 5 large vans. yet I can still see multiple parking spaces, this at 2:30pm on a Monday.

There are also multiple people on the street who have more than one car, one person has 3. and looking at the information sent in advance, there is a discount for multiple cars. Surely it should be the opposite, no?

If you have multiple cars on a terraced residential street, you should be paying way more.

I hope some common sense can prevail, but this is utter lunacy and merely adds cost to residents for the benefit of nobody.
