CCTV on Lordship lane?


KH

Recommended Posts

I?ve just watched a car scrape the back of my van as I was parked in a bay on lordship Lane opposite Chener Books/TruePenny's estate agents.

I was in such shock I was too slow to note down the license plate, and a van then pulled up after it, blocking my view.


Does anyone know if there is CCTV that might capture that stretch of the road/the parking bays?


Thank you.

According to the council (and the police) there is no CCTV on Lordship lane. TFL have cameras that only record real time for traffic flow so will not have any recording. You could try local businesses with their CCTv - tho this is usually restricted to outside pavement only so unlikely to project as far as the kerb/road. Totally sympathise.

I think Ulez is quite different to any other recording - there is no manpower to check for infringement even if you have the time and date. So frustrating- we had a personal car crime and i suggested to the police that I would personally sit thru any cctv to save them the trouble (I am dbs checked) and they told me there is no recording available.

Are those cameras solely at the ULEZ boundary - so the junction with Dulwich Common for example?

That can't be the case, surely, otherwise if you are already parked within the ULEZ zone you won't be picked up and charged unless you drive out of it.

Interesting. I guess all will be revealed next week!

They use the same cameras for different types of enforcement as I understand it. So there aren't specific 'ULEZ' cameras, just TFL ones. A map of all the locations is here: https://londonist.com/london/transport/an-interactive-live-traffic-map-of-london


It looks like we need more in the area if they're going to effectively cut down on short, local journey's in the most polluting vehicles.

Yep, it?s a positive move imo

Build a guided bus system, or the new kind of tramlines that are "glued" down and so less expensive, or trolleybuses to fill the gap provided by the rolling back on teh Bakerloo extension. Money would be saved but there wouldn't be any investment in housing, etc. that often goes alongside Tube expansion.

Hi KH, What rotten bad luck.

I presume you're asking if ay of the businesses around that section of Lordship Lane have CCTV cameras - I think you'd need to visit the businesses and ask them.

Thanks James. I had messaged a couple of shops directly opposite, but they who weren't able to help. But good idea to walk down the lane and see who else might have a camera that may have captured the road.


Thanks.

    • Well at least you didn’t live here when we used to have Concorde 😂 can’t lie though, I actually find it comforting, haven’t known anything different and only realised it was a thing when a visitor pointed it out last year. It’s when the helicopters come around that it gets annoying and that used to be fairly regular too. Before the area… changed…
    • As long as there are other ways to offer feedback, but also to speak to the council about this matter, then 1-1 feedback to GALA is not a problem, but an additional option. 
    • It's four bus stops away so hardly a deterrent unless one has mobility issues. Gala nor any other events organisers are under obligation to do what they've agreed to do. I'm sure if those who are serious and want to be heard will make the effort to attend the meeting. Whether their concerns have an impact or are taken seriously. Unless you can prove Gala have purposely chosen Peckham Levels as a means to deter people from attending i don't think it helps matters by implying that there's some sort of agenda or conspiracy going on. From following this thread it appears that's it's you with the agenda. Your display of arrogance in the post above ( Let's not pretend ) suggests that we're all in agreement with you.
    • I’m Greek, and I get my information directly from Greek media. I couldn't access the Economist article, but it doesn't seem very different from what I mentioned, apart from their ideological angle—and thanks for adding the actual text. If the government involves other private educational institutions, the situation will become more complicated indeed. However, I don't think it can be compared to the Greek situation for the reasons I mentioned and those in the Economist article, which I find prejudiced and patronizing, if not racist. (But a gap between ideology and real life is something with which many Greeks seem to live quite contented) Regarding the Economist's information, I'm not sure how many private schools closed, as the Economist claims, since the law only lasted for two months. I definitely know of one school in Piraeus called Michalopouleio, but given the law's brief duration, it can't be the sole reason.  Tsipras sending his sons to a private school does create an ethical problem. However, asking him to send his sons to a public school, when public education has been chronically neglected by right-wing governments, is similar to asking leftists to give away all their money.  Additionally, the right-wing government has introduced legislation that allows private colleges and universities this year, so there's no “problem” there anymore.
