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 :(

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.

The hours are 9 - 11 am.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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 :(

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
