Controlled Parking Zone - West Peckham

[trinidad]

so, despite most residents objecting to the plans to make our streets a controlled parking zone, the council ignored these objections, and will now make the following roads as part of the zone:

Adys Road

Amott Road

Avondale Road

Bellenden Road

Besant Place

Chadwick Road

Choumert Road

Copleston Road

Danby Street

East Dulwich Road

Everthorpe Road

Fenwick Grove

Fenwick Road

Gowlett Road

Grove Vale

Hayes Grove

Howden Street

Keston Road

Maxted Road

Marseden Road

Muschamp Road

Nutbrook Street

Oglander Road

Ondine Road

Oxenford Sreet

Soames Street

Waghorn Street

Wingfield Street

The lines are now painted, the signs have been fitted and covered with bin liners. Residents have been told the restrictions will only be from 9:00am - 11:00am Monday to friday, but we will still be charged a hefty sum of ?125.00 for the privlage of parking the car, along with car tax, insurance and petrol prices. Thank you Labour Southwark, anyone know when the local elections are due - Labour has lost my votes :(

[hammerman]

Labour in Southwark will ingnore all objections to any plans.

[twinhunters]

Conservatives no better , we now have no voice about anything 😩

[Abe_froeman]

There aren't any conservatives in Southwark at all so you can;t blame them!

I guess our elected representatives are hoping this will all be forgotten about by the next elections ( May 2022.

Tbf to him, this is exactly the sort of issue that James Barber was so good at getting a balanced view from residents on and making sure that the decision reflected what the people living under it actually wanted and needed.

Our three councillors have been beyoond hopeless on the CPZ.

They have done precisely and exactly what was required of them by the apparat. Your mistake is in the use of the word 'our' - unless you happen to be the leader of the council in Tooley St. They are party ciphers, no more, no less. Their only independence of thought is their independence from what their constituents (hollow laugh) want or believe.

The argument is that voters voted for a party and it's policies and no politician should be independent of it. Logically we might as well vote in a computer program.

I see white lines have been painted on my street. I intend to use my democratic vote based on this experience - your simply cant trust the current Councillors

The hours are 9 - 11 am.

[twinhunters]

One sign the grove vale end of oglander has been pulled out and is on pavement 🤣,

[fadeawayfast]

Spotted these this morning... someone sticking it to the man!

[jimlad48]

How is criminal damage sticking it to the man? Oh wait its not, its a pathetic overreaction to a perfectly legitimate change.

[tradingfiddle]

Just ends up costing us more in tax to repair/replace them

[trinidad]

anyone know what to do if you have a visitor with a car during operational times? is it pay by phone, coin machine or am i responsible for getting vouchers?

[dresswaves]

This is the info for visitors permits. Paper or online available. I?m guessing it will be the same for new COZs. There will also be a few pays that are residents permits/visitors pay be phone but not many of these so wouldn't rely on them for visitors

https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking/parking-permits/on-street-permits/visitor-s-parking-permits

[trinidad]

Thank you, the more i read in the information about visitor parking permits, the more my head hurts. There seems to be virtual parking permits which you have to open a parking account for. They seem to cost ?1.60 for an hour, but no mention of two hours which are the restrictions for our CPZ. Then there are paper booklets, where you scratch dates and trhings off. but these are all day visitor permits and cost ?29.00 for ten (?2.90 per person all day). I am so dreaded all these rules and regulations, let alone the money to pay, I know there will, be lots of tickets issued, just for the confusion.

The letter received from southwark parking mentioned a visitor voucher, i dont know if that is another scheme, or one of the two above????

Also the parking by phone mentioned in the southwark letter is ?2.75 per hour.

Is it me, or is this really confusing? I thought there was also meant to be free short stay parking.

[trinidad]

I notice two of the signs on bellingdon road have had the black rubbish bin removed, and therefore being displayed, eben the the scheme is not in place.

[jimlad48]

Parking is super simple.

Register for a Southwark Parking account, pay for your tickets there then when you have a visitor, just go online and enter their details in (e.g. reg no) and its all done electronically. Takes me about 30 seconds on average when we have a visitor - not remotely hard or stressful.

[trinidad]

if you say so, so how do u get a two hour vister permit, when 1 hour, five hours and a day is offered?

[Ling]

When does this commence?

I have received no letter yet. How do we apply for the resident permit? Online it states my postcode is not applicable

[trinidad]

Hello Ling, I received my letter from Southwarks Highways Transport Projects dated 6th February 2020, do you live in any of the 28 roads listed in the first message?

The scheme commences enforcement on Monday 30th March 2020, and from what i have read, the earliest residents can purchase a resident permit is on 2nd March 2020 - it will cost you ?125.00 a year

[Soylent Green]

Your postcode will not be valid until March, when purchasing permits for this area comes on line. The ?125 applies to petrol cars - and possibly diesel? Hybrid and electric cars pay ?31.50.

[Baroness Millhaven]

I think the disappearance of the binliners on the Bellenden stretch may have been to the recent high winds more than anything.

I do wonder, though, what is the point of 9am - 11am? Seems a short space of time and won't stop parents from parking for the school pm pick up. Could have understood it if it were 7am-7pm daily

[Abe_froeman]

It won;t stop parents parking for the morning drop offs either, given the children have to be inside before 9am.

[trinidad]

I assume the 9am start is to stop the commuters parking (the roads close to ED train station have lots of commuter parking. I think the council did want all day restrictions, but objections made it two hours per day. shame the annual charge was not altered either :(

[micromacromonkey]

yes, dropping off your kids at school is a valid use of parking spaces surely. (Notwithstanding the fact that you shouldn't be using the car for that sort of journey.)
