Extra Parking available on Ulverscroft Road.

[DulwichFox]

My Old Ford Escort has finally come to the end of its road.

It was 22 years old with 59,000 ish on the clock.

It still ran well but the Washer bottle had split and the washer pump packed up.

It would not meet the new Emissions criteria laid down by Mayor Sadiq Khan

planned to extend to the South Circular in April ?? (is that right)

Also parking has become so difficult. I'm only doing 600 miles a year mainly for shopping and trips to the dump.

I decided to scrap the car with a DVLA approved breaker. They collected the car and gave me ?84.00

I also got refunds from by Insurance,Tax and RAC. totalling over ?500+ a few beers and curries.

Didn't need to clear snow off of it this morning.

Please enjoy the much valued extra parking space until such time as CPZ is introduced

No - the ULEZ comes into force in the congestion zone in April, but it's not being extended to the South Circular until October 2021.

Thanks Rendel.

Makes sense Foxy. For a single, retired person living in East Dulwich and not leaving London you've helped improve air quality, reduced congestion, increased parking...... and significantly improved the cash take at Jaflong. Pretty much all services are at your doorstep.

For any other times, if you've not tried it and have a smartphone, Uber is a great and cheap substitute.

You could also try the by-the-minute hire cars, like Zipcar. There are a couple of others but I forgot their names. You can pick one up nearby and then drop it off elsewhere (but not all London boroughs allow this). I don't use them but am often a passenger in one (not having driven for about twenty years) and can vouch for their reliability. Also, you can collect at Heathrow, making a journey home as little as ?15 or thereabouts!

I paid ?6,000 when I bought it from Hartwells in 1999

Had nothing but trouble at first. Even needed a new auto gearbox.

But has been a good car over the years,
