Parking is a bit better - I can now park outside my house 95% of the time unless people have parked really badly. That said there?s not much enforcement and fewer people going into the office, I don?t think we?ll know the effect until post lockdown. I didn?t find parking particularly bad before though.


One big benefit is that we had a plague of semi-abandoned vans and camper vans in the area often sitting unused for months at a time, these seem to have disappeared since the restrictions came in.

In the station zone it is not much better. Lots of double yellow lines came in with CPZ and removed perfectly feasible parking. Staff at the new school and the med centre were issued with 'emergency' passes to use the CPZ despite assurances they would use public transport.


I don't use my car much except as a kid taxi so may get rid of it but when I do use it during peak times it's very unlikely I'll be able to park near my house or even on my stretch of road.


The people who have really suffered are the business owners on our street. The local residents, within walking or cycling distance, are not enough to sustain these businesses. Coupled with limited access from only one end of the street and they will be lucky to survive.


The supporters of CPZ and LTN and the blinkered councillors need to own this impact.

East Dulwich Grove between the hospital and Townley road is much clearer since implementation of the CPZ. I am happy with the outcome.


I was concerned that it wasn?t being enforced as a few cars reappeared last month for sale along the road but they were issued with tickets and removed again. Unfortunately the road was a haven for people leaving cars for weeks on end for sale/abandoned etc rather than daily commuters.


Seen wardens out again today as well.

If you live near the businesses can see how you might think this as lots of parking down that end removed to allow short stay for businesses but elsewhere its much better. The covid effect of permits for health centre and teaching staff did have a large impact but given that was during a time of lockdown the effect wasn't too great -but its transformational otherwise on the streets near to the station.

    • I thought there was only one Dulwich Library and that is on Lordship Lane/ Court Lane. Is there another one? If so since when?
    • Don’t be intimidated. People walking dogs in the heat are either ignorant or cruel. It’s worth thinking they are ignorant.  My favoured tactic is asking if their dog wants water ( yes I carry water). I don’t care if people get offended. If they care about their dog, they’d understand. I’m also quite happy to ask the direct question, ie why are you walking you dog? Do you realise how hot the pavement is and how they will overheat? And so on  
    • Had a very hot walk over there yesterday only to find a notice saying it was closed, so keen to avoid that happening again! (I'm talking about the one up the hill, by Eynella Road.)
    • As a former Pug owner I get really upset and angry when I see owners of brachycephalic breeds (all bull dog breeds, pugs etc) taking them out in hot sun..Those breeds should be walked very early in the morning and at dusk ideally or if they need a pee just pop out for a moment or two..do NOT drag the dog around panting like a fur accessory. I REALLY want to 'have a word' with the owners but when i once did that a couple of years ago (frenchie pup being dragged along panting in the heat kept trying to lie down in obvious distress) its female owner told me to f-off and mind my own buisness so now I avoid the aggro.
