Breadcrum45, they installed an electric charging point in my street in a place where cars won?t be able to park when the extended dropped curb double yellow lines are painted. Re a BB, I was turned down the first time but got it the second time. However I am not ?disabled enough for a space?!

I should have said that I realised you were trying to be helpful Rendel - I understand your point that a wider range of ppl can now be considered .


But I will still be astonished if anything about the process of getting a Blue Badge has become much easier .


Shall we not have a debate about the semantics of "much easier for ppl with hidden disabilties "v " much easier to apply for a BB " ?

Hi rahrahrah,

Southwark Council have held back on installing double yellow lines on Crystal Palace Road as they will do this under cycle Quiet Way changes - they're going to install a LOT of double yellow lines, remove current islands from the road. It will make the road fast for motor vehicles and the changes were opposed by the majority of cyclists - they're the antithesis of making it a Quiet Way for cyclists.

Yes, it is happening anyway. Labour councillors have apparently told local residents that they were elected on a manifesto May 2018 that included this - so the negative consultation results will be ignored. And really significantly the majority of cyclists are against these cycling measures. So lots of councillors who don't cycle know better than the majority of people who are cycling!

Thanks for this - thought it was a fair summary by the owner of Roullier White, in particular acknowledging there are issues and if the majority are in favour of the scheme then it's something that business owners will need to deal with, but the response from Southwark Councillor Richard Livingston rather suggests that he sees the case for deterring commuter parking as overriding the other considerations.

" So lots of councillors who don't cycle know better than the majority of people who are cycling!"


I think only one of them even lives in the area and the others seem to barely visit, maybe coming round once a month to promote their party?

I have come very late to this party...and only now looked at the consultation properly. As a Beauval Road resident...which is NOT in the proposed zone by a whisker, all I can say is, if this proposal come is, our street is right on the frontline of the zone border, and is now f~cked....
And then people will want CPZ in your street and so it goes on. S'wark knew the only way they could shoehorn in this revenue raising measure was by going street by street and creating a domino effect and then piling on as many additional pressures as they could devise (unnecessary mass double yellow lines, closing off streets etc..).

I thought from looking at the map that Townley Road is included. Can anyone confirm one way or the other. We live in Beauval Road and I am assuming we will get the cars from the Health Centre, dentist, and the staff and students from Alleyn?s school.

I'm surprised the roads leading off from Townley like Beauval are not already being parked on every morning. Village Way was brought into the CPZ parking zone P a few weeks ago. Zone P covers North Dulwich areas like Red Post Hill, Sunray Avenue, and all the roads surrounding the area, except Dulwich Village which is still a free for all parking area.


I think when the new health centre and the Charter East are up and running then a CPZ will be introduced.

    • Alas, poor Toadflax!  And gentle Alkanet.
    • Generally wild flowers which are indigenous to the UK are more likely to be supporting more wild life than introduced species, more commonly found in gardens, simply because wild life hasn't had time to adapt to it. Although of course many introductions which flower will be supporting pollinators more generally. (This would also be true of native as opposed to introduced tree and scrub species). And I suspect plants which are flowering over public space, even if rooted on private private, are being removed to stop them setting seed in public space. [Although many might see that as a good thing if the plants have merits of their own).
    • Good question. I think the benefit of some wild flowers is that they appear earlier in the spring and provide nectar for insects coming out of hibernation. Also, natives have evolved with the insects, some of which can only survive with certain native plants. For example, some species of  caterpillars need a specific native plant for their food. Having said that, I've seen lots of pollinators having a field day on some non native flowers. My bees love my verbena bonariensis for example.
    • Genuine question- are wild flowers/weeds better for wildlife than cultivated flowers? My cultivated flowers and their seeds attract birds, bees and all kinds of insects, maybe more so than wild flowers.
