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.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
