Southwark Council is consulting on a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) in the Queen’s Road area of Peckham.
The council claims the zone would make parking easier for local residents while encouraging sustainable modes of transport.
Local residents have until May 26 to give their feedback on the proposal – which stretches northwards to Clifton Crescent and southwards to Evelina Road.
This latest consultation comes five years after a similar consultation held in January 2017.
On that occasion, 71 per cent of respondents were against the introduction of a CPZ, 22 per cent were in favour, and seven per cent were undecided.
The only streets that showed overall support for a CPZ were Clifton Crescent, Colmore Mews, Frobisher Place and Hooks Close.
The council decided not to press ahead with the scheme but instead painted yellow lines along some roads to aid access and improve road safety.
But Southwark Council says new developments putting pressure on parking, and its own environmental policy, mean it’s time to reopen the debate.
On the neighbourhood forum NextDoor, reactions were mixed. One user wrote: “What’s wrong with prioritising parking for local residents? People in my street cannot park their cars because of all the commuters who don’t live in the borough using it as a car park while they go to work.”
But another user wrote: “We have had this on my road in Peckham rye for 3 years. Went from paying nothing for 15 years to not be able to get a space to £130 a year to not be able to get a space!”
