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.

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
