Admitedly I was not paying full attention, was new to the area and looking at my sat nav, not an excuse I know and have just decided to suck it up and pay off the £65 but after seeing so many posts on other forums about this road I am curious as to why they've decided to put the gate and sign there. To get back onto East Dulwich Grove A2214 it'd mean having to go down Townley Rd and through Lordship Ln just so I can go back to where I started.

I was coming from East Dulwich Grove before making a right into Townley Road. Made a delivery, turned around and planned my route for Hillsboro Rd for another drop off, which meant me slithering into the bus gate before turning right back onto East Dulwich Grove. Learnt my lesson, but sweet Jesus, seeing how many cars were going through at the same time I can't imagine how much they're raking in from it.

How about pollution?

And clear air nonsense

This was some time ago. There has been more recent research demonstrating the links  between pollution, poor health and life expectancy.

But never mind, cutting one's  journey time by ten minutes is much more important 🙄

Although, I also recognise the downsides of LTNs to the people living in the roads where the traffic is directed to, grammar.

And councils have had their money cut by so much, you really can't blame them for finding other sources of income to fund essential services.

I don't think you get my point 

It was a rhetorical question

Good Morning you good people. New here as I live in Durham but just wanted to let you know that I was caught in your favourite Bus Gate back in November and yesterday I had my appeal upheld and my case is now quashed. 
 

I had written to my local MP to fight my case but before she could get involved I had got my result. Since then she has emailed me asking to still go ahead and get some kind of clarification off the CEO on firstly why “ there was an error on my case and as a gesture of good will “ etc 

Secondly some clear clarification on the whole issue 

 

if / when I get some findings I’ll report back ? Hopefully this might help in reversing some charges for you guys 

 

best wishes

Good morning folks ….. well, I come with news as promised. After my PCN was surprisingly over turned my local MP wanted to dig deeper on my behalf and find out from the CEO of Southwark Council “why?

here you go….talk about shooting your self in the foot 

“A typographic error on the notice itself”

 

so, was that “ spelling mistake on the notice just on my PCN ? Or was it there for everyone “

 

my work is done , good luck , your guns are nicely loaded

Hmmmmmmm....

I got stung twice here (the position of the sign is terrible). The first time, it was an error, I got a PCN. The second time, I drove back to see what I'd done wrong and got another one (stupid, I know) 

Called Southwark and fessed up to having made the same mistake again, in the hope that they would be sympathetic. They were - the man I spoke to on the phone to confess my error in advance of them writing to me, sounded in agreement that the position of the sign is poor. My PCN was overturned - not because of a typo (as far as I'm aware).

All enforcement should be proportional and have an element of discretion.  You fessed up with making a mistake.  If I am reading your post correctly Southwark were approachable and reasonable.  What I object to is those who think the rules are for other people not themselves, be that parking on double yellows or putting their foot down in built up areas.  Those that take things further such as mounting pavements to avoid closed roads or blowing up cameras I'd happily have their cars destroyed.  Even if I am not a fan of old testament justice!

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
