Hello!


I will be moving to SE22 in December and I?m finding it difficult to understand if I am eligible for a residents parking permit. Southwark website is not helpful and just points me in a direction of planning permission.


Any pointers in how I can find out would be a great help!

If you're west of LL, you'll probably get one. If you're east you won't.

They've done a bang up job of dividing the area right into two.


That and created havoc with their closing of a dozen roads in a child-like experiment to see what happens when you halve the available space for traffic flow. And after they inexplicably carpeted the area with unnecessary yellow lines to reduce parking spaces by 10%.


Why would Southwark have a user-friendly website when they are clearly the community's sworn enemy?


Good luck living here.

I do find it slightly disconcerting that reps of Southwark Cycling have such intimate knowledge of the ins and outs of recently introduced CPZs in the area. It does give the impression that they have somehow been party to stuff that mere residents have not been.

That?s because they have. The council?s policy is to consult disability and cycling groups on traffic management orders that affect them. Choosing one at random (I just put CPZ into the search engine and this came up), the description of the consultation process for the Croxted CPZ is:



?12. Notice was also given to non-statutory consultees including: Transport for London, Southwark Disablement Association, Southwark Disability Forum, Southwark Cyclists, Living Streets and London Travel Watch.?


Policy at https://www.southwark.gov.uk/transport-and-roads/traffic-orders-licensing-strategies-and-regulation/traffic-management-orders?chapter=2. Note that SC also seem to be consulted on relevant experimental orders where no advance public consultation is required eg http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/documents/s91051/APPENDIX%201%20PECKHAM%20RYE.pdf

But other relevant stakeholders like businesses or emergency services not consulted from the start?

Oh come on - surely its all a massive conspiracy and not just google!


NoahLxn - where are you moving to in ED? If its a street that has a CPZ then you need one and are eligible - if its not you might not need one and might not be eligible. There are some adjacent roads who are not covered by the CPZ but eligible to buy permits. This is all publicly available and not part of any special info I have ;-)

Conspiracy :). Not at all. Southwark choose to consult Southwark Cyclists, presumably so they can get their views

(although if there is a conspiracy, take their instructions!). Rather than complain about that, better to request they consult other groups as a matter of course eg residents associations, or maybe we should ask them to post on local bulletin boards like this? An RSS feed? We want more transparency, not less - I think so anyway.


On that note, the Southwark Cyclists AGM is on next week (online) and open to all...

    • While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude. 
    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.   
    • I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.
    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.
