Not having a pop at you, Huggers, but what a hideous image. Credit to you for the pic. The image says it all. It dissuages people from parking up. It prevents people who don't use mobiles from interactions with other folk and making commercial exchanges. It stops people paying other people's wages. It's confusing. It stifles businesses and therefore tax income. It encourages unnecessary pollution by causing drivers to carry on elsewhere. It promotes an imaginary cashless economy, which will never work.   X

Somebody appears to be making money from it, albeit not much.

Who?

Check your settings on the Paybyphone app and make sure that notifications are off (they seem to have started charging for texting you to confirm the parking and again when the parking is almost expired). I think you can select email to confirm the parking (or exit the app and re-enter it to check current bookings as an alternative way to confirm that the parking booking has worked).

I'd be interested if anyone else has this as well. Up at Crystal Palace you now have to pay with the RingGo app. It should be free for an hour. I'm on Android and it comes up as free. My wife has an iPhone and it costs 20p every time. Same app, same location, same vehicle, same time. Obviously it's impossible to contact anyone about it and isn't worth the time for 20p but it makes no sense.

The phone number seems to be that used by several  London boroughs for PayByPhone contact( though, probably incidentally,  different from the one give for phone bookings on the company's own website).  They also say, at https://support.paybyphone.com/hc/en-001/articles/11574881494545-Is-PayByPhone-free:

"PayByPhoneParking rates are set by the parking operator and should match the cost of paying at a traditional meter. However, some locations may add a small service fee, typically less than $0.50 (USD) or £0.35 (GBP), which is determined by the parking authority."

There's nothing on the signage pictured to imply  that the motorist is contracting with the council to pay any service fee for a stay up to 30 minutes.  I suggest someone asks a councillor, to check what Southwark have to say  and report back.

Aha I’ll check whether it’s set to text and torn that off!

      Fireworks

      By Sue · Posted

      I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Sue · Posted

      Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?

      Recommendation for a decorator in Dulwich/Peckham/Nunhead - Kam 07949 507412

      By Charlie15 · Posted

      Kam was with us last week to wallpaper a bedroom. He was a pleasure to deal with and did a fantastic job - very neat and matched the tricky pattern very well. Would certainly use again.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By TittyMaster · Posted

      What a bunch of pieholes. 2025 and you peasants have nothing to be grateful for. I have been inside the library recently and honestly the old girl is crying for a facelift, the goddamn carpet looks like it survived the world war and some. The Library is one of the oldest in Southwark and you are crying about a study place? What a bunch of bullshit. You have libraries all around you for your kids to go their studying you rotten sausage. How about be happy that the library is going to look absolutely stunning rather than be a whining bitch about it   Also, I have been told that the staffs have to work in the smaller libraries together. How do you think they feel?
