parking issues
Harrow residents are raising concerns over school traffic and parking problems, while Southwark's cabinet noted a petition on Dulwich Village parking.
Dalkeith Grove residents in Harrow raised concerns in October 2026 about severe traffic congestion and safety risks during school pick-up and drop-off times, including double parking and obstructed driveways. They presented a deputation to the Harrow Traffic and Road Safety Advisory Panel. The panel also heard that a CCTV camera was installed in Dalkeith Grove due to persistent parking problems, causing safety issues and blockages, with residents questioning the lack of consultation.
Southwark Council's Cabinet noted a petition in March 2026 concerning parking issues in Dulwich Village, which called for more free parking, the removal of road restrictions, and the reversal of parking charges in Dulwich Park. In Lewisham, e-bike company Lime increased its on-street team in October 2025 to address parking issues and reduce obstructions caused by abandoned e-bikes, as part of a London Action Plan.
The topic of parking issues is scheduled for discussion at a Hillingdon Licensing Sub-Committee meeting on November 5, 2026. Earlier, in July 2025, Ravenswood Crescent residents petitioned Harrow Council for traffic calming and designated safe parking bays to regulate vehicle parking. Greenwich Local Planning Committee approved a Plumstead HMO in July 2025 despite resident concerns over potential parking issues.
