1. Southwark Council hereby GIVES NOTICE that on 23 January 2025 it has made the above Orders under sections 6, 45, 46, 49 and 124 of and Part IV of Schedule 9 to the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, as amended.
2. The general effect of the Orders, as part of the provision of an extension of the existing Controlled Parking Zone (‘CPZ’) ‘B’ in the Nunhead area, are:-
(a) to provide new permit holders' parking places, for vehicles which have been granted either a valid residents' permit, a valid business permit or a valid visitors' permit, between the hours of 8.30 am and 6.30 pm on Monday to Saturday inclusive, in:- ELLERY ROAD, OLD JAMES STREET, SCYLLA ROAD, and WHORLTON ROAD;
(b) to provide new 'shared-use' parking places in which either:- (i) vehicles which have paid the parking charge of (currently) £5.10 per hour or £8.30 per hour for diesel vehicles (using 'Pay by Phone') may be left for up to 2 hours (provided no same vehicle may return to a parking place on that same day), or (ii) vehicles which have been granted either a valid residents' permit, a valid business permit or a valid visitors' permit which may be left without time limit, between the hours of 8.30 am and 6.30 pm on Monday to Saturday inclusive, in:- ELLERY ROAD, OLD JAMES STREET, SCYLLA ROAD, and WHORLTON ROAD;
(c) to introduce new ‘timed’ waiting restrictions (single yellow lines ‘SYLs’) operating Monday to Saturday between 8.30 am and 6.30 pm, covering the full length at each location of the School Keep Clear (‘SKC’) markings in the vicinity of Rye Oak Primary School to match the zone operating hours (i) in OLD JAMES STREET both lengths on the south-west side a total of 50 metres ‘m’ (these SKC markings will be resized and repositioned slightly to match the locations and lengths in the street of 25m each) and (ii) in WHORLTON ROAD 25.5m on the south-east side;
(d) to introduce new and amend existing ‘at any time’ waiting restrictions (double yellow lines ‘DYLs’) at road junctions, footway and vehicle crossovers, and between kerbside designated as parking places in ELLERY ROAD, OLD JAMES STREET, part of SCYLLA ROAD, and WHORLTON ROAD (in so much as is public highway and on those areas which are not designated as ‘SKC’, or where there are existing ‘SYLs’). Loading or unloading to or from attended vehicles would be permitted for a maximum of 40 minutes at any single location on ‘DYLs’. Existing ‘DYLs’ with contiguous ‘at any time’ loading restrictions (double kerb blips), cycle hangars or Disabled Persons’ parking places (for blue badge-holders) will not be affected;
(e) within the existing CPZ ‘B’, to amend the Traffic Management Order map-based schedule (an administrative exercise to match the records more closely), by:- (i) extending existing ‘SYLs’ in BLACKPOOL ROAD south-east side (by 30.5m) and in CERISE ROAD north-east side of its south-easternmost extremity (9m), (ii) extending existing ‘DYLs’ in STERNHALL LANE all sides of its north-easternmost extremity by 5.5m, and (iii) in to remove all ‘DYLs’ on the private access road to No. 39a Brayard’s Road which is not public highway and were added to the Traffic Management Order map-based schedule in error (please note that there will be no physical changes at these locations); and
(f) to make permanent changes for junction protection and to deter anti-social parking in the roads outside the Controlled Parking Zone ‘B’ in the surrounding area, by:- (i) increasing existing or adding new ‘DYLs’ in FORESTER ROAD south-east side either side of its junction with Tresco Road (17.5m in total), in LINDEN GROVE north-east side across its junctions with Candle Grove (6m per side a total of 12m) and Chabot Drive (7m per side a total of 14m), in NUNHEAD LANE north-west side north-east of its junction with Peckham Rye (9.5m), and in TRESCO ROAD north-east side at its junction with Forester Road (6m), and (ii) converting lengths of existing ‘SYLs’ to ‘DYLs’ in NUNHEAD LANE north-west side north-east of its junction with Peckham Rye (17m) and o/s Nos. 27 to 53 (73.5m), and between its junctions with Old James Street and Barforth Road north-west side (6m) and south-west side (15m) to prevent vehicles parking or waiting along this busy road.
Notes: (1) ‘at any time’ means at all hours on every day of the week. (2) All measurements are in metres ‘m’ and are approximate.
3. Residents’ permits, business permits and visitors’ permits would be available to residents and businesses located at qualifying addresses located within the parking zone boundary, which are not subject to a planning agreement restricting the grant of permits. Addresses within the extension (within roads: Ellery Street, Galatea Square, Nunhead Crescent, parts of Nunhead Lane, Old James Street, Philip Walk, parts of Scylla Road, Vivian Square and Whorlton Road) will be added to enable those residents and business in the extended area to apply for permits.
