Just a warning / moan - I've just been fined ?130 for driving west along Dermody Road. I'm a super careful driver, I was following sat nav and just didn't see this sign. There are no warning signs to tell you you are approaching a LTN. At the point you are not allowed to cross, there is no red-and-white no entry sign as you might expect, no bollards, no road narrowing. There were previously No Entry markings on the road, and a painted road narrowing - the council has rubbed these out presumably to maximise confusion and revenue.

All there is is one "motor vehicles prohibited sign" on the pavement each side, on a pole 3 metres above the road.

I went back this afternoon on my bike to see how I missed it. As a pedestrian it's quite easy to see but as a motorist it's clearly almost impossible - in the time I was there at least 30 cars went through it.

(in the pic, the road on the left, Pascoe Road, has the very clear No Entry sign that is instantly recognisable. Dermody road is the one straight ahead with the yellow-backed signs)

The sign looks pretty clear. Perhaps you were not aware as you were following other cars. And as a general point I wish people would stop blathering on about this being used as a ruse to collect money. There's so much of that sentiment going on on the other part of this site. It doesn't help debate.


Just to add some balance there are no right turns going from the South Circ into the retail park on Catford Bridge. Years ago I was told that the second of these going into the Halfords car park wasn't operational, so I have been using this. No fines to date but always expecting one.

I Got fined twice last last September same place

Lewisham cash cowl

also watch Springbank Rd Hither Green and Manor lane or avenue

if you delve around online there is a group

that are opposing this

It is a residents group, and have had demos in Lewisham town centre.

Peckham have closed roads down by Meeting House lane

but at least they have had the decency to put planters in road, so you cant drive through.

Lewisham are happy to let you go down, just take a look at their cameras.

    • Maybe if you indicated what you were reviewing, pub, gastro pub, high-end gourmet, local Italian etc. - whatever classifications you wanted, then you need only indicate that your stars referred to overall quality in that category. So it it's pub grub then 5 stars means it's great pub grub, but not the same experience as 5 stars in a high end gourmet category. Your star system could then include implicitly value for money as well. 
    • Does OP know they can sell everything but alcohol even without a license?😄
    • Thanks, it's a real dilemma whether to do star ratings. A few people have asked me to do them but I've tried to resist as they are too reductive - people will look at them and won't read review! and they are difficult too - my last review of Victoria Inn, i'd give it five stars for value for money - how can you knock two courses for £18? – but 2 stars for quality - edible but nothing special. Which I guess is why some sites give star ratings for different things...
    • ok - Jeremy himself is against mandatory vaccines. Is he as extreme as his brother? No? Is it fair to discuss how the overall view of that family would inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic? I would argue very much so
