Hi rabbitears,

The obvious profit of the permit per vehicle. Controlled Parking on council estate permits are from memory charged at ?20 each pa to cover the cost of issuing them. Effectively the same permit on public highway are charged at ?125 each. So direct profit of ?105 per permit.

The council then makes money from issuing parking tickets.


2014 again from memory Barnet increased their permit charge from a low to a similarly high cost. It was challenged in the High Court and Barnet council lost on the basis the fee should only cover the admin cost of issuing such permits.


Hope this helps.

Last chance to raise any objections to the North Dulwich CPZ (closes this Thursday 21st Jan)... you can fill in a form at https://forms.southwark.gov.uk/ShowForm.asp?fm_fid=1081 I agree that CPZs are much more about creating a useful revenue stream than making it easier for residents to park.

@sjsl, not sure it is possible to effectively object to this now - isn't it a done deal?


(btw, I agree with you. A CPZ tends to reduce total parking area and is only effective where a substantial amount of parking is from non-residents. No-one in their right mind would drive through Dulwich Village in the morning to park and ride at North Dulwich)

mikeb they have approved it in principle, but you can still raise objections until Thursday, and they are obliged to at least read them, so do ? the more the merrier http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200140/parking_projects/3777/north_dulwich_and_denmark_hill_%E2%80%93_consultation_on_possible_new_zone don't expect it to make any difference though :(

I walk to North Dulwich daily and in the evenings there's a few station users who get into cars parked nearby.

There would be more than a few spaces lost from converting unmarked streets to a CPZ.


Also, depending on where they are coming from (and given the poor service to LB via N and E Dulwich) they would almost certainly be better off using Sydenham Hill, Brockley or Tulse Hill ...

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
