parking issues
Southwark Council is considering resident concerns about parking policies and their impact on local businesses in Dulwich Village.
In March 2026, Southwark Council's Cabinet noted a petition from Dulwich Village residents and businesses, which called for more free parking, the removal of road restrictions, and the reversal of parking charges in Dulwich Park. Petitioners stated that traffic and parking policies were contributing to a decline in local business footfall.
Separately, in October 2025, e-bike company Lime announced it was increasing its Lewisham on-street team to address parking issues and reduce obstructions caused by abandoned e-bikes. The company stated it warns or fines almost 1,000 riders monthly for poor parking and is working with Lewisham Council on its parking bay rollout.
