Public park used car parking on a daily basis
Reported via desktop in the Car parking category anonymously at 12:08, Thu 22 October 2020
Sent to Royal Borough of Greenwich less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 2352558.
Grassed area next to Egremont house, either side of footpath that crosses the small park with fruit trees there, is constantly being used for car parking by residents. This is causing great damage to the park; churning up the grass and destroying this space. This is a public park for the benefit of all, not a car parking space. Today I counted 8 cars and large white transit van parked here. Vehicular access to this space needs to be blocked with permanent traffic barriers such as metal/ concrete posts. They need to be very vandal proof as they will be vandalised by those parking there currently , obviously ...

Sixteen cars illegally parked here this morning, including a brand new, high-end Mercedes convertible; some may be commuters from the nearby DLR.
Cars cover a large section of park and are churning up and destroying the grass and blocking access to park users.
Public park is being converted into an illegal car park.

Public park used as an illegal car park. Update: Weds 4 Nov 20
This morning, at 9.33 am, observed the owner of black VW estate Reg: GJ70 ZXP (pictured) park illegally on Park area, then directly head off into the Silkworks apartment buildings opposite, where he no doubt lives... (A parking fine is highly appropriate in this case.
Hence, be aware that many parking here may not even be residents of the council estate, so it would be a good idea to also post notices on their vehicles and/ or at the entrance to the area.
Thanks greatly to S from RBG for taking action on this matter. Please note points about blocking access below or the council's efforts/ funds will be wasted. ===================================
Park/grassed area with trees between Egremont house and Morden Hill/ Rosewood Gardens.

Vehicular access needs blocking with heavy concrete barriers such as Jersey barriers or concreted-in metal posts: these need to be very sturdy as they’ll be vandalised by those parking here.

Issue resolved. Great job by S.S & the RBG Street team. Thanks greatly listening to resident’s input and saving this park from destruction by the selfish behaviour of a few. Best wishes.
