Just checking a few things: The 9am to 9pm on match days never materialised? I’m okay to park from 4.30 onwards? The streets south of the park are currently still in pay? Thanks in advance for any answers

Correct Correct if in a 2 hour max bay, restrictions ending at 6.30pm. Nothing ever changed re the streets south of the park afaik.
I started this thread couple of years ago and it's a real shame that the council / government have basically made it so complicated and difficult to get to a bloody football match ffs!!. Getting older I personally will not spend 3 to 4 hours driving and then an hours round trip walking back and forth to the car. Public transport is not the option for a lot of people, either too expensive or not frequent enough to be of any use.
Where are these parking spaces in relation to The Valley? I normally only use public transport to get to the ground but have to drive for this one. Also is there a car park in Charlton village? Hard to tell from parkopedia.

Yeah there is behind the Assembly halls, there's not a lot of spaces though.
The CPZ won’t be in operation, which means all the bays that aren’t closed on matchdays (very close to the ground) are available from 4.30 and single yellow lines from 6.30. On that basis the parking shouldn’t be impossible, at least until 7pm. South of Charlton Park should be fine, in particular.
I was down at IKEA / B&Q today, the free parking time slot is now 5 hrs. Handy to jump on a bus to the ground, if it stays like that, come the start of the season.

Were the councillors also told the costs of collecting that revenue and issuing the penalties in the first place? Was there any clarity on the rate at which penalties are challenged, delayed and defaulted. Local Authority treatment of financial information is simplistic at best and spun to the point of meaninglessness as a matter of course.
The real world net proceeds of low traffic penalties will be a much lower figure, or I'm a monkey's uncle. What are the despots at RBG permitted to do with (any) such surplus - if the cost of the implementation is ever actually recovered?
Once upon a time this would be Inspector Sands's territory.
Residents and businesses are being asked what they think of new plans to make our streets greener, safer, and more sustainable.
We’re consulting on proposals for Sustainable Streets in the areas of Charlton, Kidbrooke and Blackheath, Plumstead, Shooters Hill, Thamesmead West, and Woolwich. We want feedback from residents and businesses by Friday 22 August.
Sustainable Streets are a combination of controlled parking measures that prioritise parking for residents and businesses, alongside other street improvements such as safer road crossing points, electric vehicle charge points, secure cycle parking, car club bays, more street trees and other enhancements.
It's the sustainability consultation that will have implications for residents and passing motorists, local businesses and fans of cafc. It aims to go above and beyond 'knee jerk' reactions from knee jerkers, and is a legal requirement.

Greenwich Council has collected £2.5 million from penalty notices issued in its low-traffic neighbourhood, councillors have been told.
The council had issued 47,836 notices between January and the end of May, bringing in £2,495,000.
