Taymount Rise residents,

Have you noticed the new bay parking marking on the street?

It seems as though Lewisham is laying the ground to push ahead by introducing a controlled parking zone CPZ. This is happening due to the proposals for car-free development at Green bank cottages and now Grange Court.

The marking out of bays will mean there will be fewer parking spaces for those with no choice but to park on the street. This will further increase parking stress in the area. People not fortunate enough to have off-street parking are going to have to pay to park here

This is the result of private developers offering funds to Lewisham council to make an over-developed site appear viable.

Private vehicle ownership is not a luxury lifestyle choice, for many a necessity for work obligations where their requirements are not met by public transport.

Let's see if we get consulted AND what is their criteria would be for refusal.......or will it just happen?
