Why expect them to?

Email the councillors direct.


Their emails are on the Southwark website.

The good news is that I just passed the Dutch delivery lorry on LL, and he hadn't parked on the zigzags, so maybe Mr Allen had a word. The bad news is he was parked instead a bit further up, with cars parked on the opposite side of the road. As a result buses couldn't squeeze through. In no time this had created a tailback all the way to the police station and a few drivers who looked like they were about to unleash some road rage.

The bad news is that as I walked up Lordship Lane today at 6.00pm the Dutch flower lorry pulled and parked on the zig zags and straight in front of the zebra crossing.


Where were our heroic community wardens to slap a fine on him? If it's ?75 for a a cigarette end, then how much should it be for endangering lives?

Ah. One year later, the big gigantic lorry has taken up residency on my road a few streets away. It is currently parked at a corner elbow and it will be a miracle if it does not cause an accident as there is no way to see if there is oncoming traffic. The giant lorry has appeared most days this week and seems to have taken up residency. A van has joined it on occasion. All this on a very busy hard-to-park-on street...the giant lorry seem clever enough to migrate during school run hours so that there are no spaces when we get back...


Bah.

Hi,


Can someone explain to me, thick as I am, why should the ratepayers pay to move a pedestrian crossing for the benefit of a trader! Quite clearly the lorry driver has commited offences contrary to the road trafic act on numerous occasions previous and continues to do so. If the council were informed of the usual times of delivery, they would be able to secure the services of a appropriate recovery vehicle, and secure the same into a compound, thus increasing their parking revenue.


It seems to me that that the traffic wardens only apply tickets to the vunerable, for instance, people park on double yellow lines to make purchases in the Southampton Row shops. In the ten years that I have lived in this area I have never ever seen a traffic warden in that area! The reason is they are scared of a confrontation. I have spoken with the council

who advised that wardens visit different areas on different day, they admitted that they have no current disputes or outstanding cases in Southampton Way, they would not confirm that this was because wardens do not visit this area because of fear of confrontation.


Oh Well, must keep paying the rates!


Kind regards,

Libra Carr.

The fact is parking in zebra zig zags is an offence with a fixed penalty and 3 points on your licence - but I have yet to see it enforced in Dulwich - either at Goose Green or where people reguarly park in Dulwich Village outside Pizza Express on both sides of the riad, also blocking the zebra.

Yes but the POLICE are far to busy these days AVOIDING any DIRECT CONFLICT situations.


And for some strange reason the Southwark PARKING MAFFIA gangster?s would rather ticket someone for being ? inch on a yellow line or one wheel half on the curb or similar minor offences.

I've phoned them many times about Zebra Crossings but nothing changes. Their idiotic scooter riders and their crusing Toyota Prius driving gangsters only care about bus lanes yellow lines and drop curbs oh and a wheel on the curb and double parking to ofload a ton of luggage or ikea purchases.


We are trying but they just don?t care.


It?s us the ENEMY and them THE MASTERS of us.





The Idea was supposed to keep the traffic flowing and keep pedestrians safe.


BUT


It IS about REVENUE and JOB CREATION for THE COUNCIL.


THEY SERVE THEMSELVES



WE are just the PUNCH BAGS.



Sad but true????????

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      If you like very good quality South Asian food then Babur in Brockley is offering a well priced, for what it is, Christmas day menu with sensitively priced reductions for a more limited children's menu. They also have a compelling wine list and their specialist cocktails are phenomenal. Not traditional Christmas fare, but then that might be an additional recommendation.

      Is anyone pregnant and due this winter?

      By Elelel123 · Posted

      Dear families,   My name is Eleanor. I’ve worked in NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services for the past eight years, and I’m about to begin an Infant Observation course in preparation for psychotherapy training. I’m looking for a baby to observe as part of this training.   The observation involves me visiting a baby and their parent for one hour a week over two years, with the aim of deepening my understanding of early emotional and developmental processes. Taking part is a generous contribution to the training of future child psychotherapists — ultimately supporting the mental health of children and families.   Both of my own children were observed as babies, which I found to be a really positive experience. Having an observer gently witness my babies’ development helped me notice their weekly changes in a new way, and I came to appreciate the calm, consistent presence of a trained observer. I was sad when the observations ended!   If you — or someone you know — is expecting a baby due before the end of February*, I would love to hear from you. You can contact me at +44 7977 910018 or [email protected].   Best wishes, Eleanor

      Wanted - table top ironing board

      By Sue · Posted

      I rarely iron, so my massive ironing board is just taking up unnecessary space. Does anyone have one of those little ones that you can use on an ordinary table?
