I wrote to Lewisham (again) recently repeating my concern about cars racing the wrong way down Manor Mount (I did not mention parking although their response does). I said this was generally in the late afternoon early evening when traffic had backed up Honor Oak Road from the lights at the junction with the south circular. Below is their response.
Thank you for your email.
I have contacted our enforcement contractor, NSL for further information with regard to your concerns. NSL have confirmed that they do enforce illegal parking in Manor Mount. Manor Mount is part of CPZ N and has resident permit bays as well as single and double yellow lines. All of these are subject to regular enforcement.
In addition NSL enforce moving traffic contraventions (NO ENTRY) with a CCTV Van in Manor Mount. In the last 6 months the observed compliance levels were very high – only 13 Penalty Charge Notices were issued.
You mention concerns about traffic speeding. I'm afraid the Council does not have enforcement powers in this regard. Only the Police can enforce against speeding. I would suggest that you contact your local Police and ask if they would be able to carry out some sporadic enforcement.
I hope this is helpful.
Umm, not really.
