Hi hoptop - sorry I would beg to differ about the parking issues. I've lives at the honor oak end of DR for almost 5 years and regularly use my car everyday at various times for work. In my experience it is nigh on impossible to park at the hop end anytime between 8.30am and 5.30pm. I've had occasions when the nearest space has been up by dunoon road or hengrave. Certainly not ideal with a baby or when carrying shopping! It was lovely to get back at 10pm tonight and be able to park tight outside my house!

I guess it all comes down to perception but I am definitely of the opinion that it is commuters parking up during the day to use the overground.In fact last year my car was dented but the driver kindly left a note. He lived in sidcup and said he regularly drove up and parked in the area for the train

And yes I have also had issues on both saturdas and Sundays and can ounly assume it is people parking up to head into town for the day?

A one way at one end is an interesting idea but I'm not sure it would deter people from mparking as there are many side roads to cut through onto DR. It would be extremely frustrating too for local residents!

Got to say I agree with shzl400 about the kerb parking. The traffic was never an issue until this was enforced although I understand its not great for pedestrians with cars parked on the kerbs!
