BCWYWF #1: Net loss of parking space from dropped kerbs

National studies by environmental organisations have demonstrated that the instinctive householder response to curtailment of on-street parking if there is a front garden is to remove the landscaping and replace it with hard standing on which a car, or cars, may be parked without the necessity for annual permits. Anyone may do this and apply for a dropped kerb outside their property by e-mailing or telephoning the council. For the rest of us, this has significant consequences.


The Southwark.gov.uk website says 'You must not park in front of a dropped kerb on the road or where the road has been raised to the same level as the pavement, regardless if yellow lines are present or in force' and also that 'We may introduce waiting restrictions (yellow lines) in front of dropped kerbs if street parking is controlled for other reasons (e.g. the street is within a parking zone, yellow lines are needed to allow sufficient space for vehicles to pass, or road safety)'. These will be two metres in length in either direction.


So, we lose not only

- the front garden width

but also,

- the length of two more car parking spaces.

The consequence of this alone is significant loss of parking options for all other visitors and residents in front of and beyond the necessary entrance, even during times when the front garden parking space is empty.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
