Is the option disappearing to park the other side of Charlton Park?
It was always a bit of a slog back up the hill after the match (handy for me exiting Harvey Gardens from the East Stand), which might be a struggle for some. But never struggled to park around that area, and then just had to deal with Shooters Hill traffic back to the A2
The main problem is that there is just going to be more cars trying to park in the same number of roads. There isn't many spaces anyway the other side of the park (or wasn't when I last parked the in the 2023/2024 season) and by stopping you parking nearer the ground just forces more people to park in the limited spaces there are.
Since moving to Bromley I've ditched going by car & now take the bus. The 380 to Belmarsh stops closer to the ground than I used to park !!
Great news for Plumstead and Shooters Hill (well done to them). Bad news for the rest of the Charlton fans who at this point are now even more likely to be hit.
I’m not on Charlton fb pages but on the Plumstead one I have never seen such an outpouring of anger and complaints and high demand to attend the meetings, a protest outside a town hall meeting, a specific website set up for this alone. People were angry.
I don’t know what the Charlton residents have done in this regard.

The vast majority of Charlton residents don’t care about their local football club or their fans and while those with drives who can charge £25+ for people to park on them with JustPark ( some that hold three cars ) , there’s no way they are going to complain .

Good on you for taking the bus and seeing it as the easier option. I know many people don't like being priced/inconvenienced out of using cars, but....it's just better overall for more people to use public transport.
Massive caveat that the public transport needs to be cheap, frequent, reliable and of good quality (the more people that use it, the more likely this will be).
Walked down Charlton Lane about noon on Saturday, there was a car parked on a double yellow line, it was on the left hand side going down. It had a blue badge in the windscreen and a parking ticket on it . 🤷🏻♂️

Usually have a Just Park booking but didn't expect to be attending this match.
Any help much appreciated, thanks.
