If you have a delivery or house move booked in West Heath, Sidcup or Belvedere, check the last stretch of the route before the van sets off. Bexley Council’s notices dated 11 November cover new parking controls in West Heath and proposed restrictions on access and loading in Sidcup and Belvedere from 23 November 2026.
The council has made the West Heath orders. Its notices for Sidcup and Belvedere describe intended temporary orders, so check the latest details before committing to a collection or delivery time.
West Heath parking controls by street
Bexley Council made two traffic orders on 9 November. The public notice describes waiting restrictions on parts of Bedonwell Road, Burcharbro Road, Heath View Drive, Milford Close, Westergate Road, West Heath Road and Woolwich Road. The notice lists both all-day controls and weekday restrictions from 10am to 4pm. Check the signs for the exact stretch where you plan to stop.
New permit-holder bays are listed on parts of Bedonwell Road, Burcharbro Road, Westergate Road, West Heath Road and Woolwich Road. Heath View Drive and Milford Close are listed as permit parking areas. Both sets of permit controls are described as operating from 10am to 4pm, Monday to Friday. The notice also describes short-stay spaces on parts of Bedonwell Road and Woolwich Road, with a one-hour or four-hour maximum stay on weekdays between 8am and 4pm. The notice specifies a one-hour no-return period for those bays.
The notice gives the date the orders were made but does not give a start date for the West Heath controls. If you need kerbside space for a move, ask the council which rules apply at your address and whether a parking dispensation or bay suspension is available. Bexley’s guidance says a yellow-line dispensation cannot be used where a loading ban applies.
Sidcup access near Betterton Drive
From 23 November, Bexley intends to restrict vehicle access at the Riverside Road and Betterton Drive junction for Thames Water mains replacement. The proposed Riverside Road restriction runs from the junction towards the water treatment plant. The same section is listed for restrictions on waiting and loading. The council expects the works to take about eight weeks.
The notice gives a Betterton Drive diversion using Davenport Road, Frinton Road, Pembury Crescent and Riverside Road in either direction. It also refers to access for Riverdale Road residents and the treatment plant yard. If a property is on the affected stretch, check directly with the recipient where the van can enter and stop. A diversion can get a driver around the works while leaving the usual unloading point inaccessible.
Belvedere loading restrictions on Lower Road
Bexley intends to close the junctions of Poplar Mount, Beltwood Road, Bullbanks Road and Mayfield Road with Lower Road to vehicles. The notice also proposes a waiting and loading restriction on Lower Road between Battle Road and the side of No. 170. The works are expected to take around six weeks from 23 November.
A related notice lists proposed waiting and loading restrictions on the first 50 metres of the four side streets measured from Lower Road. The council gives no alternative route for the works. If the delivery address is on one of those streets, agree an accessible handover point with the recipient before loading the van. Check that the stop is permitted and close enough to carry the goods safely.
What to check before booking
Start with the Bexley Council public notices dated 11 November. For Sidcup and Belvedere, use the borough’s roadworks map to check the address and date. The temporary notices say that restrictions apply where and when indicated by traffic signs.
Give the driver the full postcode, the receiving entrance and the hours someone will be there. If you are moving furniture or appliances, tell the team how far the goods would need to be carried if the closest stopping point is unavailable. Lucky Van’s scheduled delivery service can plan around the access and receiving details you provide. For a house move, see our guide to arranging van parking in London.
