The parking on Devonshire Road is awful and, now that the roadside is full up with cars, moving completely onto the pavements is the obvious next course of action. Here is a photo taken the other day...    

I contacted Lewisham about 2 years ago about parking on the pavement. The Council person said that it was illegal (hm never knew that) and consequently drivers weren't allowed to do it. I mentioned the 'enforcement' word, and that was the end of the conversation.

Since I saw the mayor, leaving HOP station, climb into a car in Boveney Road to drive him all the way to Devonshire Road I can see that there might not be a will 'at the top' to do anything about the parking here.

I agree that 'what to do' is a much more difficult question to answer, but perhaps it is about time that the council addressed it.
