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?

Thursday, December 10, 2009

We have not received a consultation document ...like many others


We are writing to oppose the introduction of a CPZ in the north Dulwich triangle.

I don’t know why we have not received a consultation document (Like many others it would seem!) but we were only advised of the councils plans during a chat with a neighbour yesterday! I have looked at the proposed area on line this morning. I note that the document was supposed to have been sent out week commencing 16th Nov and replies received by tomorrow - obviously I can’t reply now but this is a definite NO! We did not have a door to door questionnaire either.

We feel the timing of this consultation, the shortness of preparation time, and the obvious bias in the web content, is misleading and unconstitutional. The Council are trying to force through something the residents clearly do not want. Why are the council wasting money on this when we already said no a few years ago!

It has been proved hundreds of times in other areas that the introduction of CPZ’s result in thereduction of the number of parking spaces available. We are a typical example and currently have off street parking for one car and visitors are able to park across the dropped kerb, this would not be the case if parking bays were introduced.
