I note that K&C aren't removing them (which would add to destructive parking habits), just making the two hours free in order to allow people local shopping access, but not making it convenient overspill parking for commuters.


Which are the pay and display zones you want changing to give two free hours?


I understand that the K&C one is to combat the free parking at Westfield? Is there a new scheme that threatens this area also?

,,,,hugenot do you work for a meter company or something..



ANECTDOTALLY....which I know you hate...


I live in Fellbrigg Road....with the exception of Saturday am parking isn't a problem...it's just not needed

Where there are parking restrictions you get the joy of tickets adminsutered after 6 mins in a 5 min spot outside a nursery as happened to my missus last week

You get tickets falsley given - which I have personally have happened twice and managed to get overturned...this involves appealing in the face of ever threatening letters and escaalating fines and finally having it dropped if you say you are willing to go to court with witnesses...you get no recompense, or even an apolgy from Southwark, forthe stress and inconvenience of all this which is in effect challenging an illegal action on their behalf.

Friends/relatives visiting fromout of town......nowhere to park or getting up at 8am and moving the car and then doing this every 2 hours until 6pm....yeah, thank's for letting us stay.

If your permit is deemed to be illegaly placed KERCHING...more money for Southwark to spend Diversity Monitors at ?40K a year..


Plus we are entering a recession and rather than ignore traders who have experienced this in Peclham/HH and Greenwich and 'risk' that restrictions will cause no problem for traders on the Lane (after all we have no evidence)let's not give them another burden in hard times.


Finally, I hate to bring it up, but you, not quite on yor own, but certainly most vocally, keep questioning any of us who fight parking in SE22, when you have no intention of ever returning and won't have to face closed shops and parking nazi's eagerly waiting at the end of our roads at 7.59am.

I have to say one of the joys of living where I do is that my local area is free to park for 2 hours, so all shopping is catered for.


There are several parades of Shops (Sherwood Parade, The Green and THe Oval) where it is always free and I can, literally, park outside my local Co-op supermarket by the entrance.


Would hate the hassle of Traffic Nazi's.

I always try to make the point, TLS, that I'm not for or against parking restrictions, but I do note that there are often good arguments that favour some restrictions bthat go unheard. I just like to keep their head above water ;-)


I also note that those arguments against parking restrictions are often disingenuous and misrepresent the facts. As I've said before, 50mph restrictions on the M25 make journeys faster not slower, and managing parking in ED may make traders more successful - at the expense of the freeloaders.


On this one... PR was complimenting K&C on providing 2 hours free parking. K&C haven't removed parking restrictions, just made them free.


ED doesn't seem to have any equivalent parking restrictions that could be made free, so I wondered what she was referring to?

I'm a motorcyclist so apart from in Westminster on Sundays all bike parking is free.

But I do care about car drivers and local shops survival, and the horror stories I read on places like this forum saying how fascist parking attendants ticket people picking up their kids one minute over the time. That sort of thing.

K&C apparently are doing this because of the free parking offered by Westfield.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
