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!

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      Two men behind ‘senseless’ felling of Sycamore Gap tree jailed for more than four years Good to see these two jailed today for four years. There’s something deeply disturbing about people who destroy trees—any tree. Whether it’s a centuries-old landmark or a sapling in a quiet park, trees are living beings that offer beauty, shade, and life. The men who cut down the Sycamore Gap tree are a stark example of how far some people will go to lash out at something peaceful and meaningful. People who harm nature like this aren’t just destructive—they are often deeply unhappy. It takes a troubled mind to look at a tree and see something to ruin instead of something to protect.

      What a brilliant idea. I hope it went OK, Sue.

      Yes, the appointments were scheduled for every ten minutes. And there is no waiting area at all this time  (sometimes for medical checks there they have a very small area inside with 3 or 4 seats). If you have come by public transport, you have to sit on the steps up to the van if you are early,  which isn't pleasant in very hot sun or pouring rain, or else wander round Asda (there's no cafe in Asda, despite it supposedly being a superstore). It's one in, one out. I don't know what happens if you are late, but I doubt they would hold up everybody who came after you in order to fit you in.  There was someone immediately before me and someone immediately after me. That's what I did in the end , so thank you for that.  I gritted my teeth and got some exercise. It wasn't as bad as I expected 😀 I did get a 37 from Nigel Road back to Goose Green on the return journey, though!

      NHS subcontractors frequently use supermarket parking areas for CT and other screening. Easy to get to and park. They've done the same at Dog Kennel Hill in the past. Makes a lot of sense. And they ram in lots of timed appointments, so time critical is precisely right.
