Ive treated myself to a new car not two weeks ago... today pops into my post box a penalty charge notice, for being in a queue of traffic (surprise, surprise) on Lordship lane for my back wheels being in a yellow box! Near the Bishop and east dulwich grove


Its my fault from the pictures, but just FYI big brother is always watching!


took the shine of the joy of a new car.. thats for sure!

I have sat in the Bishop and outside the Bishop and watched people being caught out.


The problem is there is a crossing Before the junction. So when the lights go green for the

motorist and they pull forwards across the crossing and into the 'Box' and then someone turns

left out off East Dulwich Grove they block the exit from the box. (Caught on Camera)


If when the lights go green the driver pulls forward and stops befor the box.. they find themselves

blocking the crossing. (Caught on Camera)..


You cannot win..


Yet another deliberate clever ploy to catch motorists.. and Only that.


Fox.

Indeed, I actually blocked a yellow box on my driving test and still passed, precisiely because someone turned in infront of me blocking the space that existed as I pulled into the box. Unless they have video evidence, they will find it extremely difficult to charge you and they know it. Refuse to pay on these grounds.

Was driving along Beckenham high road at the weekend and the same thing happened to me. There was one space beyond the yellow box, I crossed, then a Porsche turned into the sapce and left me hanging. I politely let the driver know he'd nutmegged me (shrug of shoulders) and he gave me a furious finger in return, then over-revved big time in pulling away (inevitably to brake hard about 10 yards down the road). I just don't get these guys.

Agreed, just ignore the troll. I would consider appealing though based on the other comments.

My plan too.


problem is if you don't see it coming due to chaos on the road

( I was driving through Loampit Vale the other day and it

was a free for all - won't be going back there). How do the

cameramen react to chaos - penalise everybody.

    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
