Hi dimples,

A proposal to do this was rejected by East Dulwich councillors several months ago at the Dulwich Community Council.


Effectively the development of the site into this small Sainsburys had seen the removal of a shop servicing yard behind the parade. To then ask effectively to build a no parking area for Sainsburys servicing on the public highway is frankly an outrageous proposition. It would place further pressures on local parking on residential streets.


The only way this could now happen is if East Dulwich councillors and the Dulwich Community Council was now being bypassed which would be a political decision by Labour led administration. This seems unlikely.

Ah , self entitlement


"No parky, no shoppy"


God forbid you should walk a few yards to buy something. Why would anyone have such a self defeating rule?


I lived near that sainsbos. Like, 100 yards away. My downstairs neighbour wouldn't go to the plough unless she could drive. And then complain about other cars and parking!


It's madness.

Illegal parking there after 1600 during weekdays really slows down the traffic. Just one vehicle can cause a mini-jam, yet the usually keen-as-mustard attendants are rarely there. I wondered whether the council deliberately doesn't send them there because it's glad that Sainsbury's took over that empty lots vacated by the car shop.

Thanks for your assumptions - Shall I explain?


I never go to the Plough Sainsbury as a destination shop, but on my way back from somewhere in the car. If I have to walk 100 yards as you put it I will stop at Dog Kennel Hill and park there and walk into that store. If I'm at home I'll walk to the local shop.

See ???


More cars = more traffic = more parking = more drama


I have zero problem with cars or driving ( or ruffers!!) but when people say things can't be done or don't get done because of some minor inconvenience...


It's not about cars either. Not really. It's a metaphor for modern thinking.

Oh please , come on , it was never ment in anyway.

Like ruffers said for me too it's a very handy stop on the way home if in need of something and if they take away the parking at the front I think it will be an annoying problem for the direct people living on roads behind it .

I live nearer the horniman and I have never known parking at the front a problem for the flow of traffic going past !

I started this thread straferjack just to ask if anyone knew if the rules were actually changing or if indeed they had already changed , and if they had changed to be aware that tickets may start to be given at other times of the day !

That all that this thread was about .

Traffic wardens were issuing tickets to people who were parked there at 9.15 this morning. There was a row going on as the people who got the tickets were correctly saying that the new signage was not clear. It seems that it is now no parking in the daytime, think it was until

4? But I didn't see the sign. Is a bit crazy as the white lines are still there that make it look like it is on to park so I think people may not realise.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
