Yellow Lines Consultation!

Lewisham Council is consulting on proposals to install yellow lines at various sites across Lewisham, including a number within Ladywell ward. A number of these proposals are in direct response to enquiries we have made on behalf of residents (eg St Margaret's Road) and I know that ARRA (Algernon Road Residents Association) have been concerned at the safety risks posed by parking on the junction with Ellerdale Street.

Of course this is all part of a thinly-disguised plan by the Greens to ban cars from the borough by stealth, by gradually removing all parking spaces (joke). We have already got double yellow lines painted on the bend in Gillian Street and Marsala Road, but this is just the start! Seriously though, below are the proposals and the details of who to write to with any concerns.
