Have no recollection of any mention of RPZs by the Dulwich Village Councillors, Margy Newens and Richard Leeming. This is very definitely their patch.

Again if you are a stranger to the area how are you supposed to know that you can’t park there at certain times. How would you know where to go for a permit?

Are RPZs the future? I do like the irony that it’s to minimalise the need for too many signs and street furniture, when not a million yards away at the junction there’s a plethora of signs and cycle racks …………

If this is the new way forward there can be no doubt what the council's intentions are and how they are putting shameless revenue-generation ahead of fairness. Shame on them if this is now their approach - and they have the gall to refer to themselves as socialists.

Do people have a problem with RPZs.  I doubt if this affects any of us.  

Glad Townley was mentioned.  Several entitled selfish motorists on double yellows today, with homemade signs placed on the windscreens IMG_20250115_152356465.thumb.jpg.17783f3ca741995ee66d63696cf44e31.jpg

As the car is parked outside the NHS clinic at the end of Townley Road, could the car belong to a member of staff or a patient? Perhaps the clinic has negotiated with Southwark for permits for staff who need a car to do their work.

Until next Monday the tickets are warnings, fining in earnest starts on Monday. If you don’t know the area, have been driving sensibly and not looking up at signs that require you to get out of  your vehicle to read them and park in Calton during the proscribed hours, would you have a valid reason to appeal?
Please could someone/anyone from the Council explain the rationale behind this system?

I hope these are only warnings as this car now has five.

No, the truly shocking campaign/harnessing of social media, has been through an LCC campaigner of the year who also happens to be Chair of the Dulwich Society Transport Sub Committee. That committee seems to have been hijacked by LCC supporters with local Labour Councillors in attendance, to get things, like Dulwich Square 'done'.

I would not be surprised if at least one of that sub committee has been posting here on these threads.

Perhaps you count yourself among them;

But the Dulwich Society Transport sub-committee Chair was allegedly not that open or transparent, as when they were named in this forum I believe admin was asked to remove their name.

No problem with that, of course, but it rather shows that some are not as open and transparent as you would have us think.

Members can boot them out if they don't like it 

Maybe take this chat to the thread in relation to this but it looks like members of Dulwich Society tried exactly that...that's when it all went a bit pear-shaped...

Do you have a car ?

Did Calton finally go live today and has anyone seen any additional signage going up?

I would be interested in this too. Haven’t personally been down there since it went live. Has the signage changed?

Edited by Earl Aelfheah

The car with five tickets doesn't have any more yet so maybe the wardens haven't been down this week or maybe they are showing a rare glimmer of sympathy for someone who presumably isn't aware of the new restrictions.

Can someone explain in simple terms what the point of making Calton permit parking was? It's not really a street where commuters parked to go to the station, it's not a street where parents dropped off their children for school - and if they did I expect they'd still do that quickly and hope not to get caught. I've walked down there today and there are hardly any cars parked on the street - most of the residents have drives so the council surely won't make much from the sale of permits. The only people it seems to be hitting are people that work on those houses or nearby - in the village or the schools. Who will mostly just park on the next streets along which don't require permits.

Yesterday I counted 11 cars with tickets on, three of which had multiple tickets, which common sense would indicate is because the signage is inadequate as has been previously mentioned.  There is one sign at the Townley Rd end and one at the junction of Woodwarde road and Calton avenue but if you miss one of those signs as you turn into Calton Ave then there is no other indication that this is a street with restricted parking.

My understanding is that inadequate signage is a reason for appeal of a parking ticket so I hope everyone appeals their recent tickets and wins their appeal even if they have to take it to tribunal.  

So come on Southwark...sort the signage out otherwise we might think that this is about revenue from PCNs rather than parking control.

I presume the controls are to stop staff of Alleyns and JAGS parking as well as parents parking to drop off school children and people working in Dulwich Village 🤷

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
