I went to Dulwich Gallery today and parked in the off-road recessed parking opposite the gallery, to the right of the park gates. I couldn't believe there was a space. No sign of anything but wiggley lines. Of course i got a ticket- but for parking on the zebra zig zags. But i was behind them off road...cars next to me ticketed too. Dastardly and confusing. I'd never park on a zebra but apparently i did.

Re: why have we got a 20mph zone?

I've just been camera flashed driving alongside Nunhead Cemetery driving I think at 25 mph. I had no idea it was a 20mph zone.

This morning, just after leaving house for sixth form, and yes smoking a crafty fag, my 17 year old son was stopped by a

passing speeding cop car which screeched to a halt, two policemen got out and asked him if he was smoking cannabis

Think they are definitely out to get you. :)

lol Dulwich Fox. You are adding to my paranoia!

I think I looked at the wiggly lines and just couldn't compute them as they were out of context. so my bad.

I did have a 'why is no one else parking there' feeling but then I was going to the Escher exhibition were everything is topsy turvey.

Good news is I never did get done for speeding by Nunhead Cemetery, proabably because I wasn't.

Did you ever appeal this? I got one today in the same place and feel very hard done by. It's in a bay set back from the road and you're not blocking anyone's eye-line of the zebra crossing. There was a note some kind man attached to it saying that he had appealed his ticket there and won and gave me his number. He said the adjudicator had agreed with him that it was a "point of law that the zig zags should be on a road and not in a bay". I think I'm going to appeal and hope it's not too drawn out. I think the lines should either be removed completely or some signage saying DO NOT PARK HERE!
If I have this location correct it's a space that allows access to a driveway and presumably garages to the adjacent house? This is set behind the zig-zags and on a gravel bed, effectively positioning your car "off-road" The lines are designed to allow full view of the crossing and as such you have not obscured and therefore no offence committed, I would definitely re-visit and send photo's in with your appeal.

My mother had a parking ticket in that spot too, she appealed and it just got dropped, she never heard anything more from it and it went way over the time limit they had for responding.


I took a few photos of the sight-lines to use as evidence if needed.


Since then, some locals have been out putting up signs warning about parking there. Definitely worth an appeal.

    • 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". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
