Returning to the original post by devonshoreroad then parking in Devonshire Road (HOP end) is a real problem. It doesn't stop there, of course, but spreads into Boveney Road and Hengrave Road (and I daresay Grierson Road too). It has been gradually worsening over the years, but has now become a serious problem.

On bin collection days the pavement is an obstacle course making it impassible for people with push chairs and, heaven forbid, anyone in a wheel chair. I attach a photo showing the situation before the new line opened.

The problem might be due to a lack of public transport from some areas to take people to the trains. If the 63 bus were to travel over the hill to Brockley Rise then this might solve the problem.

The residents group on Hengrave and Boveney Roads are meeting to discuss the parking issue in the next few weeks. This may lead to some survey of opinion in the roads affected about the possibility of seeking a CPZ.

More broadly there is going to be an inevitable shift from private cars to public transport, bicycles and walking simply because there are too many cars and not enough places to put them. We ought to be looking at this problem more broadly and perhaps suggesting priorities of road use - public services, mobility needs, deliveries, trades people etc ahead of individuals' use of cars to get to the station.
