Whats going on with CPZ "Q"?

...presumably all the existing signs on RC are illegal then?

The law states that any permanent structure built above ground level on Rush Common land needs approval from the Rush Common Committee. If this is not done then technically the structures are illegal so you may be correct.

And it would make sense for a LIbDem Clr to cover up for his own shoddy officers, wouldn't it?

And it would also make sense for a Labour Clr to derail the scheme to highlight others incompetance, especially with an election imminent?

Dont get me wrong its just this shouldnt be a political football. Residents have over an extensive consultative process definitively stated what they want.

And if the dullards in town hall had any wit or intelligence they would erect temporary signs in the interim wouldnt they

That's one of the reasons I think the whole Rush Common thing is a smokescreen. They weren't ready to implement the scheme in January. They should have been.

That's one of the reasons I think the whole Rush Common thing is a smokescreen. They weren't ready to implement the scheme in January. They should have been.

The first 'excuse' being given by the parking office to neighbours of mine in January was that the company supplying the signs had not been able to produce them in time.

Which begs the question 'when were they ordered?'.

James Ross' dept should have known about all the planning and rush common considerations, had the equipment ready to go, (it had already been delayed, before january), and the whole thing would have been implemented as residents wanted before becoming a party political football.

AND, according to my neighbour, James Ross' letter to residents is pretty insulting - it implies that people who have already paid should be grateful not to be levied for an admin charge if they ask for a refund! As spin, that is pre-entry level.

As an aside, presumably all the existing signs on RC are illegal then? These include CPZ signage on Brixton Water Lane, red route signage Josephine Avenue plus maybe even the speed scamera at the bottom of the hill?

that's exactly what I am wondering! surely if the Rush Common Act applies on Josephine Ave re: CPZ then why wouldn't it on adjacent streets?

Much as I'm happy to bash Lambeth I'm not touchy enough to take the phrase "with no admin charge levied" as insulting. There's plenty else to bash them with





Would anyone like to speculate whether the double yellow lines and new disabled bays are in operation. I've not seen any sign of enforcement, yet they're unambiguously in place.

Its understandable that people are touchy given the serious quality of life issues here.What compounds this is that I understand this letter was delayed by three weeks as the spin meisters in the town hall "couldnt agree on the wording".
Far more tactfull would have been"with obviously no admin charge levied".

They have previously stated that they would not enforce however I have seen a number of vehicles on Josephine Avenue/Appach rd ticketed for double yellow line "offences".

"Next up, CPZ Man. Once mild-mannered, he has been transformed by Lambeth's procrastination into the Incredible Hulk of Parking Outrage. Consultation has been going on for two years but now the council needs to send out yet another questionnaire, even though the residents are clearly desperate for controls to outlaw bumper-to-bumper commuter parking. The head of transport replies that he is keen to get on with it. What does the area committee do? We vote to note the report."

Rush Common is the area of green space running down the east side of Brixton Hill between the top of Brixton Hill (south circular) and Brixton Tube

What's the situation with land that appears to be part of the common but is enclosed, such as the land in front of Tudor Court?

Bloody hell.

Sorry to throw the thread off track but I just did a google search on Tudor Court and it came up with this picture.

Is the pool still there?

Explain to me, though, how you make a temporary parking meter stay where you put it ... Especially in Brixton

Same rules, no erections above ground level without Rush Common approval.

If it's common land, why is it enclosed?

Ask the council.

Wouldnt have to have Councils revenue generating meters until they sorted themselves out- Just have short stay parking on JA
