It has always been a busy road and depends which end you are thinking of. I do not live in the road but use it regularly to get to East Dulwich Road. Difficult to park a car in road especially on a Saturday when the North Cross Road market is on. However a CPZ is proposed for this road which may make a difference.

Hi

We live on CPR and like it a lot.

Not a busy road but you may not always be able to park directly outside your house due to gym users, other residents and visiting shoppers etc, depending which end you will be.

Wide road at goose green end, doesn?t get traffic congestion. 5 min walk to amenities. Interesting mix of housing stock.

Don?t think there?s anything you should be overly worried about but off street parking would be a bonus and something that would be high on my list if I was to do it all over again.

Thank you very much, very helpful. Bit worried about the parking but thinking this may be rectified if the Residents permits are to come into place. That being said, parking directly outside ones house is a luxury in London.. as long as we can park fairly close we will manage. Thanks again.

It's going to be part of the Southwark Spine cycling/walking route, not part of the Quietway - that runs to the west (Greendale/Champion Hill/Camberwell Grove).

The Council is probably keeping quiet about the Quietway until they've got the CPZ agreed. If people knew that so much parking will be lost to the Quietway they'd probably vote against the CPZ.


The plans for slowing traffic in Barry Road have been shelved because they would remove too many parking spaces around the proposed islands.


Clearing all the clutter of parked cars from Crystal Palace Road, while simultaneously increasing the bus lane restrictions in Lordship Lane. will also turn CPR into rat run and a race track for cars as well as bikes, so people might have realised that the CPZ promise of safer streets is a nonsense.

The quiet way consultation originally took place in early 2018 - I recall it as there was concerns raised by Christ Church that church goers, groups and those attending the Bread of Life caf? would be affected. It also covered Friern, Etherow, Barry and Landells Road as well as Crystal Palace Road.

The chiropractor definitely does not want a CPZ because it would mean patients with a mobility problem potentially having to park some way from his clinic, and then not be able to walk there.


Therefore it will impact on his business, because they will go to a chiropractor where they can park within a reasonable distance.


He is a very good chiropractor, btw!

"Southwark's consultation sham

Why do councillors ignore residents' views?


Last year, Southwark Council ran a consultation on its proposed 'Southwark Spine' cycle route. Local people and road safety experts said the designs would make cycling more dangerous, especially around Bellenden Road. In fact, 63% of people who replied opposed it.


But just before the election was called, one of the Labour councillors for this area, Ian Wingfield, signed off the scheme.


Eleanor Margolies says: "This makes a mockery of the idea of consultation."

thanks for the pointer to the Southwark Spine, rendel - the plans are here https://consultations.southwark.gov.uk/environment-leisure/eastdulwichtopeckham/supporting_documents/Consultation%20Plan.pdf


it does look as if there will be some loss of parking on CPR, but not excessively so


but i need to be convinced that removing the traffic-calming islands on CPR in the interest of improved cyclist amenity is a sensible suggestion

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
