cpz line painting

[macutd]

Why has the council got three men not abiding by the 2 meter rule, painting white lines for the CPZ?

Surely this is not a critical job that needs to continue at this time!!

[first mate]

Pretty outrageous under the current circumstances. Does not reflect well.

[monica]

We did ask for a postponement. Southwark council just cannot hep themselves, greedy to the core.

[FineWhine]

Obviously a utter disgrace...

[Harry]

Would be great to get a photo of this and send it to the leader of the council. I wonder if he's aware.

Good idea!

[Pugwash]

I would send it to the national Press and other media

[DulwichFox]

Probably all part of Mayor Sadiq Khan's Priority Schedule..

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.

[Penguin68]

That would be, stop housebuilding as not necessary at this time, but keep on punishing car owners. And lucky man has got off the election hook for a year. Rejoice!

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

[James Barber]

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.

Looks like everyone in the effected area needs to move there cars on Monday. Utterly crazy. Not helping the isolation and must affect 100s of vehicles. Surely this can be stopped.

Great to see the parking police out in force too. Surely that?s not essential??

[Rockets]

This is utter madness - they must pause it surely...

[srisky]

Tweet it with photos, if poss - flouting central government rules and risking their workers' lives

[dbboy]

Not just workers lives but those of the police and car drivers plus wherever cars are moved too. This needs to stop in the current circumstances - but it won't.

[PippaD]

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!

[Ontherun]

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.

[Zig-Zag]

...and Southwark still top or near top for prevalence of the virus in London boroughs. Pretty disgraceful

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

[macutd]

Wow! does that mean the no parking signs in Trossachs Rd so that they can finish the bits that they missed will be taken down?

[MarkT]

"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."

Ontherun, are they painting double yellow lines? Those would come into force 24/7 as soon as they are painted.

[Ontherun]

No, no change to yellow lines. They've just added white line markings and put up the CPZ signs which were then immediately covered with bin liners.

[alice]

Thankyou Monica

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.
