Southwark council have deliberately tried to avoid resident participation in this consultation

I am writing to register my opposition to the imposition of a CPZ on our street, in the strongest possible terms. My partner and I are the owners of 35 Casino Ave and we have not even received the "consultation" booklet and voting slip, so are being deprived of the opportunity to offically state our opinions on this matter. This is deplorable and i agree with the opinion of some of my neighbours that Southwark council have deliberately tried to avoid resident participation in this consultation given that we have rejected the implementation of a CPZ in the past. The timing of the consultation and the lack of notification is extremely suspicious.

There is no problem whatsoever with parking on our street and it causes us no inconvenience at all. I have spoken to many of my neighbours and they also have no problems with parking. There is absolutely no need for a CPZ.

This is pretty obviously an attempt by Southwark council to raise additional revenue through the administration of the system itself and by charging for vistors permits, not to mention the imposition of fixed penalty notices should someone not display the required permit. This is a cynical and regressive tax of Southwark residents and i intend to resist it strongly. Having spoken to my neighbours, they all feel the same way and i would advise you to drop the scheme as you did the last time it was rejected by residents.

I will happily participate in any of protests being arranged against this CPZ and intend to make my views know to both local and london-wide press.

Thank you for taking to time to read this and please send me a consultation booklet and voting form *immediately* so i can register my "no" vote in a proper, democratic fashion.

yours,

Chris Territt and Helena Burton
