I drove through townley Road during the time restriction, but because it was in the Easter holidays I thought as other areas were wavering restriction for off term time I thought this was also the case as the sign doesn't say , (At all times ) any comments would be greatly appreciated. 

  • Joe changed the title to Townley road school restriction

I'm afraid people are going to keep being caught out thinking that when the roads are quiet in school holidays/Easter/Xmas the restrictions don't apply. 

I was fined on Boxing Day which was a Monday. I had a reasonably constructive email correspondence with a councillor who seemed to acknowledge that maybe the restrictions were not needed as much during school holidays but said a change could not be implemented as the school holidays were not aligned. 

I suggested that Southwark Could at the very least suspend the restrictions on Bank holidays as all schools are closed on Bank holidays but didn't receive a reply.

I imagine with the current run of May Bank holidays Southwark's coffers are due to be topped up. 

 

 

 

Saw loads of cars heading towards a fine in Dulwich Village yesterday as they drove through the restrictions during the operating hours - oblivious to the fact that the restrictions also apply on bank holidays - an expensive assumption to make and one the council is more than happy to accept!

Townley Road is not a School Street. 

Not sure how you'd put the entire school calendar on a street sign anyway...

Where did I say Townley was a school street....I said it's what happens when you conflate school streets with other timed restrictions i.e. when in some areas you mix school streets that operate during school times and with others that do not...hope that clarifies itfor you! 😉

    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
    • It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.
    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
