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 ...

    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. They're clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
