CPZ may be introduced on street by street basis even if majority vote against

'The results of the consultation, combined with the views of the community council and the parking occupancy surveys will help determine whether or not a CPZ is introduced (subject to second stage consultation) in some or all of the area.

If a decision is made to go ahead with introducing a CPZ, we will carry out a second consultation with all residents and businesses in the roads concerned to determine the final parking layout before works begin.'

Do you want a CPZ?

Monday, December 07, 2009

Opposed in Elfindale Road

We are most strongly opposed to your proposal to introduce a controlled parking zone within our area.  It would be totally unneccessary, a huge inconvenience and is yet another form of taxation that we just cannot afford.  The council tax is high enough as it is, let alone the utility bills that keep going up and up.

It would seek to tax us and our visitors for trying to park outside our own homes, not to mention the distress of trying to obtain permits, day passes and the inevitable fines by overzealous attendants when you have run out.

Our streets are NOT BUSY.  There is never a problem finding a parking space.  There are no shops or facilities nearby that cause us any parking problems.  We do not have overcrowding.

Can you tell me why a CPZ is even being considered?  We have not seen one shred of evidence that a CPZ is needed in our area nor seen any consultation with residents about this matter.

Yours faithfully
