Peckham residents will be glad to know that charges are being (temporarily) lifted for specific times in Peckham's Council owned car parks in December - see details below. These revert us to the position before the extensive new charges were imposed with inadequate information and consultation earlier this year.
Nunhead & Peckham Community Council had already asked that the Council suspend the new charges until a thorough review and consultation is carried out because of the bad effects they are having. The Community Council in January will be asked to pursue this vigorously.

1.Stead Street (Walworth area)

Southwark traders get boost from free weekend parking
Published on: 09/12/2008
With small businesses feeling the bite of the credit crunch, one London borough has decided to drop car parking charges in all council-run car parks over Christmas to boost support for local traders.
The Southwark Council car parks in Stead Street (Walworth), Choumert Grove, Copeland Road and Cerise Road (all in Peckham) will be free on the following weekends - 13-14, 20-21 and 27-28 December.
Car parks will also be free every night from Friday 12 December, right up to 3 January 2009.
Councillor Jeff Hook, Executive member for Environment, said:
“This is a tough festive season for many, with residents tightening their belts and local businesses doing everything they can to get shoppers to come in and buy.
“By making council car parks free on these dates, we hope that this will be all the incentive residents need to use their local shops for Christmas presents and New Year supplies.”
“Local shops are often locally owned and run by people living in Southwark, so we have to do what we can to help them at this time.”

Tues 9th Dec neighbourhood Planning & the PAAP
Has your neighbourhood been affected by planning applications or planning enforcements?

If so, you may be interested in a meeting organised by the Bellenden Residents' Group next week, details below. If you would like to come, please email to let us know.

* start developing our local neighbourhood description
* a first look at the PAAP and how it affects us.
Tuesday 9th December 6.30-8.30pm
in the Bussey building, 133 Rye Lane, SE15

refreshments & exhibition from 6pm
__________________________________________
In the neighbourhood to the west of Rye Lane, in Peckham, over the years we have had numerous planning applications (and enforcement issues) which have resulted in many objections. After much effort, some of these have been changed. We have often thought that if developers knew before they started what local people think is acceptable, in the form of a 'neighbourhood profile', we might just possibly be able to avoid a lot of upset, effort and time.
NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE
We are meeting with the Planners to see if we can produce such a profile for our neighbourhood to the west of Rye Lane, in the forthcoming discussions about the Peckham Area Action Plan (PAAP). This is supported by The Lane ward Councillor Gordon Nardell who will also be at the meeting.
Such a process might be of interest to residents in other neighbourhoods, especially those affected by the PAAP. So if you would like to think about arranging such a meeting for your neighbourhood, you will be welcome to come and learn from this meeting about what might be involved in creating a 'neighbourhood profile', what might flow from that, and from our first look at the PAAP and how it affects us in our neighbourhood. Some of this might have relevance in your own neighbourhood.
FURTHER INFORMATION
The PAAP (Peckham Area Action Plan) is a very important Planning development which will establish the new future planning policy for Peckham. For information about the PAAP, please see:www.southwark.gov.uk/futurepeckham
Further information on some issues raised for the future of Peckham town centre, a core part of the PAAP, see www.peckhamvision.org

Over the years we have had numerous planning applications (and enforcement issues) across the neighbourhood to the west of Rye Lane, which have resulted in many objections. After much effort, some of these have been changed.
Wouldn't it be so much better if the developers knew before they started what local people think is acceptable so we could avoid a lot of upset, effort and time where this is possible?
NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE
There is a chance we might be able to produce a 'neighbourhood profile' in the forthcoming discussions about the Peckham Area Action Plan (PAAP). This is supported by The Lane ward Councillor Gordon Nardell who will be at the meeting with the Council's Planners.
Do come and take part in these preliminary discussions to see how we can describe the best of our neighbourhood and how to improve the rest. There will also be a first look at the PAAP and how it affects us.
