Parking Issues

5 stories · 5 councils

Southwark Council is considering resident concerns about parking availability and charges in Dulwich Village, while Lewisham Council works with Lime on e-bike parking.

Councils are currently discussing parking issues, which relate to the availability and management of parking spaces. In March 2026, Southwark Council's Cabinet noted a petition from Dulwich Village residents concerning parking issues, including calls for more free parking, removal of road restrictions, and reversal of parking charges in Dulwich Park. Petitioners attributed local business declines to traffic and parking policies.

Separately, in October 2025, Lime expanded its on-street team in Lewisham to address parking issues and obstructions caused by abandoned e-bikes, working with the council on parking bay rollout. No upcoming council meetings are currently scheduled to discuss parking issues.

Earlier, in July 2025, Harrow Council received a petition from Ravenswood Crescent residents requesting designated safe parking bays and enforcement against illegal parking. Also in July 2025, Greenwich Local Planning Committee approved a house in multiple occupation despite resident objections citing potential parking issues.
