I really do not understand the bash the council brigade. I?m not talking about the rights or wrongs of implementing the CPZ, I?m talking about comments like the council is greedy and can?t help themselves. Where do you think the money is going ? It doesn?t go into councillors pockets but into public services which Southwark provides better than many.

A massive chunk of it goes to APCOA (Airport Parking Company of America), who deal with fees/fines etc

Southwark council is the only council in the country, and legal advice given in the lords suggests illegally, to make redundancy payments to Councillors holding Special Responsibilities when they choose to stand down from those positions or lose at an election.


So broadly you're correct. But Southwark is extraordinarily uniquely generous to some Councillors.

Myself and friends have contacted the council, and Southwark news,

Southwark news not responded to either tweets or mail but Southwark parking have stated that as from Monday the new CPZ will be in full effect,

Even after it was pointed out that people are struggling to pay basic bills, but they don't care!

The controlled zone is not starting on Monday, they are preparing the roads. I don't think it comes into force until 22nd May '20.

I've been amazed to see Southwark employees putting up signs and marking roads in preparation for this when we're in the midst of a pandemic but I guess some life/works are continuing as normal.

Hi we received the following email from Councillor Livingstone on Friday.


Dear Ms xxxxxx


Further to my previous email, I am writing to update you regarding the East Dulwich controlled parking zone..


In light of the current COVID-19 government advice, we have temporarily suspended the introduction of the East Dulwich CPZ until the current working restrictions are lessened. As I am sure you can appreciate, it is not possible to provide accurate timescales on when works will recommence but we will look to update all interested parties through the relevant page on the council website as soon as possible, which can be found at the following weblink:

Best wishes


Councillor Richard Livingstone

Labour councillor for Old Kent Road ward

Cabinet Member for Environment, Transport and the Climate Emergency

FFS I finally got the website to accept my details and paid for the year's permit, only to find it wasn't necessary (just yet). I wonder if we'll get the unused days refunded/added on aat the end? Unlikely I guess as all parking companies are simply the worst kind of arseholes.

    • Not sure what the age range is but Woodcraft Folk meet at the East Dulwich Community Centre in Darrell Road on a Tuesday evening.
    • James  may have initiated the boards but there would have been a group of people who would have taken in turn to keep boards up to date. When locks and boards were vandalised  it took some while (around 2 years) for the council to repair/replace and many of the group who maintained them, moved/died. I know James was not seen so much in ED due to  family  illness/bereavement  and I believe he also changed his job.
