Just gotr a fine for apparently going into a no entry zone between Heaton Road/Rye Lane.


The only one I am aware of is the bus lane which you can't go down. Also, the entry to Heaton Road is blocked off.


DOes anyone know of any other no entry roads around there???

I'm sorry but I do have to ask .... were you smoking at the time?

Hee hee - just joking poor SeanmLow - all these fines, I imagine you are becoming poorer by the day.


Personally I don't drive so can't answer your question - sorry.

Sean I have too been fined here. Basically, and here's the rub, you are not allowed to go across the lights at the bottom of Rye Lane - you have to make the left turn up round the one way (Copeland Road) then go down Consort to Nunhead Lane - madness I know. There is a sign I'm afraid. The area of road you are not allowed in is about 3 meters long but that does not matter!

Yes - I've been fined there. Buses are allowed to go straight on, other traffic has to turn left at the lights. I missed the signs, had a moan, looked at the pictures Southwark sent me and realised it was a fair cop.


Annoying, but it is a bus lane.

My wife & I were pinched for the same "crime" but I went back to the scene, the photographic evidence was 200 yards short of the junction and, at that time, there was only one "No Entry" sign, I challenged the fine and Southwark Council backed down. However, they did then put up a second "No Entry" sign to make the need to turn off more obvious.

Thanks for the responses on this. It's so tricky when you move to a new area and are not too sure on the roads. Really gutted about this as I always obey the law! Never mind hopefully my angry dad can post me the letter so I can pay it in time to get the discount.

You would think if so many people were getting fined at the same place the logical thing would be for the council to sign post it more blatantly. I mean it is surely not in their interest to go collecting punitive monies from the public. Fines are just there as a deterrent.

So many cars go down that way I bet they make a mint each day. It's a disgrace. You can't see road markings at night at all and if a bus is closely in front of you it's a bit tricky to see road signs. I am officially annoyed as if the council don't charge us enough council tax anyway. It's hardly a dangerous driving conviction yet it's the same as a speeding ticket.

I take it this is irony?

I'm BOUND to say that if you are THAT close to the bus you are a danger to yourself and the bus (regardless of how commonplace it is)


The fact that it's in Peckham remind me of the time the council put in self-raising bollards to stop cars using the bus lanes - look ma, no revenue!


That didn't stop idiots pranging their cars as they tried to ride the coat-tails of the bus mind you... I don't think they didn't know about the bollards - I think they were chancing it

Sometimes you can't help being boxed in a bit that was all I meant and yeah maybe I could have been a bit close. I'll pay it cos I know that I was in the wrong all I am saying is "HOW BLOODY ANNOYING!!!" - it's not like it's a deliberate no entry street where you know you can't go down it - it's a matter of 3 metres of road. Won't be making that mistake again! It's basically like pouring money down the drain and I work in media for Christ sake - we earn very little!

      A positive update from Southwark Council - “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.“

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By malumbu · Posted

      A solicitor is acting as the executor for our late Aunt's will.  He only communicates by letter which is greatly lengthening the process.  The vast majority of legal people deal by modern means - the Electronic Communications Act that allows for much, if not all of these means is now 25 years old.   Any views and advice out there? In fuller detail: The value of the estate is not high.  There are a number of beneficiaries including one in the US.  It has taken almost three years and there is no end in sight.  The estate (house) is now damp, mouldy and wall paper falling off the wall. The solicitor is hostile, has threatened beneficiaries the police (which would just waste the police's time), and will not engage constructively. He only communicates by letter.  These are poorly written, curt or even hostile, in a language from the middle of last century, he clearly is typing these himself probably on a type writer.  Of course with every letter he makes more money. We've taken the first steps to complain either through the ombudsman and/or the SRA.  We have taken legal advice a couple of times, which of course isn't cheap, and were told that his behaviour is shocking and we'd be in our right to have him removed through the courts. But.... we just want him to get on with executing the will, primarily selling the house. However he refuses to use any other form of communication but letter.  So writing to the beneficiary in the 'States can take a month to get a reply. And even in this country a week or more. Having worked with lawyers in the past I am aware that email, tele and video conferencing and even text and WhatApp are appropriate means for communication.  There could be an immediate response to his questions.   Help!

      Selective licensing for rentals extended

      By malumbu · Posted

      Labour should be applauded for bringing in the Renter's Rights Act.  But so many of you are carried away with slagging them off. Married couples with busy lives sometimes forget who did what. On this occasion Mr Rachel Reeves was sorting out the rental agreement.  Ms Reeves was a bit flumoxed with all the grief/demonsing/witch hunts she is getting so forgot to check with her other half.   Not the first or last time this will happen with couples. (That's not having a go at the post above)
