One side of Crystal Palace Road has been blocked off with cones for line marking tomorrow. Does anyone know what his is about? We haven't had any communication about line marking at all. It have a bad feeling about this. They can't impose parkong restrictions or changes without some sort of consultation can they?
Correct - there was no communication about this whatsoever, the first I heard of it being a poor quality printout being stuck to my front windscreen today (Sunday) saying that my car would be towed if it obstructed the marking, starting tomorrow (Monday) - i.e. less than 24hrs notice! Surely consultation is required on this. What problem is this solving?? There is not a parking problem on this road!

I was hoping it would be delineated parking at worst, not double yellow all the way... I'm between the Actress and Crawthew, and can confirm there's been absolutely no advance consultation or warning of this at all. I only found out when a good neighbour spotted my car still on the road at 10pm and texted me!

Yep. I was wondering if that was the case ?

It made little sense to have permanent double lines there.


That's a relief

It may be worth seeking assurances in advance that the yellow lines will be removed once works completed - sounds obvious now but will be a bigger struggle later to try get them removed.

With yellow lines there it's another parking fine opportunity to be milked.

You can bet 'communication' in the form of parking tickets will be a lot more timely and obvious than the (non) notice of these works was.

How bizarre that no=one was informed?? Someone somewhere is certainly not doing their job - council or contractor I wonder.


Good point about checking they are temporary = the more I read about the council, the less I trust them or their motives.


I should add that I don't include James B as part of the council - he is a valuable and helpful conduit in dealing with them.


What an old grump I am!!!

Just had one conversation with project manager Luke apologising for lack of notice etc etc. He walked off, and literally 2 minutes later a worker came with a roller and black paint and started painting out yellow lines back to black saying there was a mistake and works on CPR between Crawthew Grove and Uplands due to start in a few weeks. Classic!
Can confirm we had all this on Hindmans Rd last summer. Obviously cars need to be moved to carry out the works, however there was no advance notice, work didn't actually start until at least a week after they appeared and the lines didn't go until a few days after work finished.

Have just spoken to one of the Contractors.

The Lines between North Cross and Crawthew were a mistake and are now being burnt off. (heavy chocking fumes)


The lines between Crawthew towards East Dulwich Road are staying .

There are cars parked on CPR with Double Yellow Lines either side of them

The guy I spoke to said they would not be starting road works until 3 weeks time so the cars should be ok.


Although he said he had no idea what was going on so maybe the 3 weeks was referring to the other section.


He had no real ideawhat was going on and apologised for any inconvenience. Clearly not his fault.


Typical Southwark Council faffing about. How much is this all costing.

We all know who is paying.

Yes. Southwark Council will be responsible for the Yellow Line Painting. Not the Gas companies.

    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
