Elizabeth Line commuters cause parking chaos for local residents
Residents in Abbey Wood are demanding stricter parking restrictions after the Elizabeth Line station turned their streets into a free car park for commuters. Current rules only prevent non-resident parking between 11am and 1pm on weekdays. Locals report struggling to park near their homes, blocked pavements, and late-night noise from returning travellers. Over a hundred people have signed a petition urging Greenwich Council to extend permit hours, as drivers flock to the area to avoid expensive station parking fees.
