Good to see Shrewsbury ward (with a newly elected Green Party Councillor) no longer part of this scheme3

With some more pressure hopefully the fuckers cave in completely and scrap the whole thing2

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.ForeverAddickted said: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
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 !!3 -
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.3 -
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.4 -
We're driving to the match tomorrow evening so can we still park in Delafield Rd after 4.30pm , with the free parking kicking in from 6.30 ?.
Usually have a Just Park booking but didn't expect to be attending this match.
Any help much appreciated, thanks.0 -
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 .Curb_It said: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.

It should be same restrictions as last season still so yes I would expect 4.30pm as usual should be fine.Fanny Fanackapan said:We're driving to the match tomorrow evening so can we still park in Delafield Rd after 4.30pm , with the free parking kicking in from 6.30 ?.

As a long standing Plumstead resident I think the council caving is bad for the area.3

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.golfaddick said:

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).

Can I ask - do you either don’t drive or have a driveway to park your car if you do?iainment said:As a long standing Plumstead resident I think the council caving is bad for the area.0 -
In the meantime, parking at Windrush Primary School which cost £15 for the Watford game seems to have been reduced to £10 for Leicester

But you can still get a parking season ticket there for £345. Mind the rush!Pico said:In the meantime, parking at Windrush Primary School which cost £15 for the Watford game seems to have been reduced to £10 for Leicester

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 . 🤷🏻♂️1

There’s a feedback meeting for the residents and businesses of Charlton area tonight.4

For the first time in nearly 30 years of parking in Charlton Church Lane came out of the game and had received a parking ticket at 14.20.0

Taking it back to the other thread and the comment about Plumstead residents being wrong by @Rothko
The people that need their cars are usually the most poorly paid I believe? The carers? I usually see 3 or 4 sets on my walk to the station buzzing about in their little micras. The teaching assistants that park in my road to work in the primary school at the end of the road. Maybe they need to drop off their own kids to schools so can’t use public transport. The children that need to visit their elderly parents on a daily basis would then have to pay for that necessity, which might just stretch the finances too much that they stop.
Doesnt affect us city types who use public transport but seems to me that it would just be a step too far for the financially vulnerable.Who would ever have thought that owning a car would become only for the privileged.9 -

Of the households that earn less than £10,000, 78% do not own a car and 64% of households that earn between £10,000 and £19,999 do not own a car. In outer London, 70% of households that earn less than £10,000 annually do not own a car and 53% of households that earn between £10,000 and £19,999 do not own a car. The poorest Londoners are more affected by air pollution.
I disagree with the Plumstead campaign, as the area is pretty badly affected by traffic issues, is well served by public transport and with proper implementation would have improved the area. The council have been absolutist on the issue, which doesn’t help, and the move should have been gradual, but the campaign against is as absolutist the other way.

Must be hiding the Train, DLR, Tube, Tram stations up there. Maybe its the loads of bus routes they have that hide them!Rothko said:

Seems to have gone back up to £15 now when I look? Maybe it is cheaper if you book earlier?Pico said:In the meantime, parking at Windrush Primary School which cost £15 for the Watford game seems to have been reduced to £10 for Leicester

We used it for the Watford game and it worked ok, I hope the school get a good amount of the money.0 -
How far are DLR, Train and Elizabeth line stations away, 10-15 on a bus, or are the people of Shooters Hill driving to Woolwich to use them?JohnnyH2 said:
