East of Lordship Lane is definitely bearing the brunt of the CPZ fallout. Possibly from the West Peckham CPZ too now that the schools in that zone are back.


I don't think it will be long before the clamour for an extension will whelm the council into a new consultation.

I hope some of them are. Like I've done, they will find out how much nicer it is than driving in. And if they keep it up they are likely to live longer too.

Perhaps experiencing what those of us West of Lordship Lane went through. Though I'd guess that the CPZ has deterred some from using their car at all. The CPZ has been a massive improvement in Matham Grove.

Possibly. The residents of Dulwich Village / North Dulwich and Denmark Hill were to blame for your woes when they caved in / begged for a CPZ.


The council have very successfully played divide and conquer on the residents to get their pay to park schemes in across the whole borough.

Wow, is that really true? Presumably Melbourne residents doing this were probably against CPZ? Cannot believe anyone would vote in all day CPZ and then go and park for free in a neighbouring non CPZ street. However, if this is happening in any numbers it makes you wonder if it was a majority who wanted CPZ in Melbourne Grove?

I wasn't agreeing with your comment, far from it. I was empathising with residents East of LL who you claim are now experiencing their streets suffocated with cars and don't have a CPZ to alleviate the problem.

The zone around East Dulwich station is 11-1, West Peckham is 9-11. Both were put in by Southwark as well as the East Dulwich CPZ. The roads closest to the shops in Herne Hill have longer hours, the two hour restriction is a few roads further away. Whoever decided the hours had to look at the bigger picture

Is it a very small zone around East Dulwich station that is two hours because the restrictions that I saw on East Dulwich Grove are definitely all day?


The Stradella Road, Half Moon Lane, Winterbrook etc. restrictions (the roads closest to the shops and station in Herne Hill) are 2 hours only - or at least they were the last time I was there a couple of weeks ago.

Zone Q is the other side of East Dulwich station and was the first of the East Dulwich zones to be put in. - East Dulwich Grove is in the latest zone. Zone Q went in after 4 consultations and the parking had got worse. We said no to the first 3 consultations but when the fourth came out it was needed.


I thought Stradella Road was all day, guess there is a set of bays at the end that I saw the sign for that?s all day. The zone the other side of the bridge opposite Brockwell Park is all day. So Lambeth also have a two hour zone one side of the station and an all day zone the other. Like the zones around East Dulwich there is a mix of a station, residents and businesses so guess there is something that means a two hour zone isn?t going to work in some areas.

> So Lambeth also have a two hour zone one side of the station and an all day zone the other.


A minor point, but Stradella Road is in Southwark - the border is at the Half Moon pub and then along Herne Hill and Denmark Hill roads.


The introduction of Lambeth's parking zones did make parking much more difficult across the N Dulwich triangle, causing many residents to change their minds and back the CPZ when it was proposed for the second time. But as far as I know, the 2 hr / all day difference between neighbouring zones has no noticeable or wide effect in this area .

I?d not realised about the borough boundary.


There is a difference as a visitor to the area looking for parking - isn?t one of the things a CPZ is meant to do to improve parking availability for residents? It did near us. When I need to make a daytime visit to the Herne Hill area there is a choice. You have to find a bay you can pay in that is free in the all day zone or you time your visit and park in the two hour zone outside of the hours it operates. For residents its only other residents and their visitors parking in the all day zone.


I chose to time my visit for free parking and went to a couple of shops I wouldn?t have if I?d parked in the all day zone which was closest to where I was going.

?For residents its only other residents and their visitors parking in the all day zone?.


Not always the case as commuters may park and pay online/via telephone from work for the two hour parking window. Fortunately not all bays are shared use to prevent this problem.

It certainly did here too.

It's flexibility that seems to have no downside. There isn't a big influx during when parking is free, but outsiders can still schedule visits like the daughter who calls round to care for her mum, people who have to collect kids from school or childcare, or whatever. The two hour CPZ is a balanced, practical solution for this area.

In case of interest- an overview of the council's proposed timetable to roll out CPZs to remaining areas of Southwark is on the agenda for next week's Environment Scrutiny Commission. Not formal proposals at this atage but gives an idea of the direction of travel. There will have to be statutory consultation in due course.

A big chunk of East Dulwich is coloured magenta on the map, with "to be confirmed" against it - I expect that relates to dates, rather than existence of CPZ, as I believe a borough wide CPZ is contemplated by the overall council Movement Plan.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
