The estate at the end of Thorncombe/ Trossachs Road has a small access road with a dozen or so parking spaces (I am talking about the estate that constitutes Arnhem Way, Velde Way, etc)

On Google maps, this road is shown as an extension of Thorncombe Road. The road has an entrance barrier but I have never seen that closed in c.20 years. And there is no sign to say private parking

Does anybody know the official status of these parking spaces ? ? are they public road/spaces or are they, in some way, reserved for residents of the estate? I think they are mainly used by estate residents but, I do see people who live in nearby roads (like me) parking there sometimes ?I think many people assume that it is private parking for the estate and don?t use them.

The reason I?m interested in this is that I?ve just looked at the plans for the new CPZ. All surrounding roads are to be controlled, but that piece is not covered. If it is actually public parking, Southwark Council may well have dropped a clanger

It's a Southwark Council Housing maintained road - paid for by rent/freehold payment from the home owners there.

I do not believe formal parking resections exist other than the gate which could be locked at any time if the council was more organised.

Similar exists the other wise of East Dulwich Grove running alongside the railway line.

So not resident only then - as long as one's prepared to risk being closed in by a barrier that's - to my knowledge - never been used in the last 25 years?


Looks like that'll be hotly fought over parking for the Alleyns teachers once the CPZ is in force then.

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
