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?

  • 1 year later...

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????????

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • 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.
