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 ...

    • 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
