I think the main problem with the CPZ consultation is that it covers too wide an area. I live on Half Moon Lane and am desperately keen for a CPZ. Both Half Moon Lane and Ardbeg Road suffer greatly from commuter parking for the station and there are rarely any spaces at all between approximately 8.00 am and 6.30 pm on any weekday. In addition, the Church Hall at the end of the road creates more problems on Saturday mornings. We seem to bear the brunt of the problem for the rest of the North Dulwich triangle.
Previous consultations have shown that residents of these two streets favour a CPZ but the overall opinion for the area has been against one as most other streets in the consultation area are presently unaffected.
It might also be wise to take note of the question on the survey about displaced parking. If, as I hope, a small CPZ is introduced for the two streets most heavily affected, it is quite probable that station commuters will park further afield and move the problem elsewhere in the North Dulwich triangle.
I haven't been able to find any comments from residents of either Half Moon Lane or Ardbeg Road on your website and therefore hope that you will post this to provide some balance.
