Until today, 10th December, one day before the cut-off date for consultation, we had not received any notification from Southwark council about the proposed CPZ in Beckwith Road - no "individual mail shot" and no kerbside notice that I have noticed in my daily walk along Beckwith Road. If there is a notice there, it is certainly not prominent.
Therefore we residents of 46 Beckwith Road agree wholeheartedly with the anti-CPZ notification which we received last night and to which your belated notification was a response - there has not been any proper consultation - it is indeed "undemocratic". Having very recently had it rejected so resoundly, introducing it again now, with minimum consultation shows that it is clearly motivated by a desire to increase council revenue rather than the welfare of residents. By a process of "creeping CPZ" you intend to get through one street at a time, thus making parking that much worse in the neighbouring streets, until finally you can coerce all streets to sign up in desperation. Parking in this street is not good, but the problem at the moment is caused mainly by builders' skips, which will in due course be removed.
The residents at 46 Beckwith Road vote as follows:
Kevin Shillington: NO to a CPZ in Beckwith Road
Pippa Shillington: NO to a CPZ in Beckwith Road
Helen Jamieson: NO to a CPZ in Beckwith Road.
