| This is such a funny business. The CPZ around the maisonettes at Syon Lane. The consultation was directly to the people living within the CPZ marked out zone, yet the affects of the zone go beyond these roads into neighbouring roads who do not have a CPZ. Does the council add up the actual spaces now available, say, 20, and only sell 20 permits? Or are the, say 35, people who live in the street 'allowed' to buy their 35 permits and guest permits, with no chance of having a space? With one side of the street being allocated parking outside their properties and the other yellow lined, will that mean an increase in price/desirability for those properties? The yellow lined side will now have cars travelling at a greater speed past them. The now yellow lined side may have voted against a CPZ the parking allocated side may have voted for. The yellow lined side now find they cannot sell as easily, do they have a legal challenge for compensation? Especially if, as has been indicated in postings above, there might be only a couple of votes more in favour of a zone and the Council has run off with this. Do the yellow lined side have a case for reduction in Council Tax? What is really incredible as mentioned in one of the Councillors posts above, is that the costs involved are set against the tax payer with never a date to recoup them let alone a profit to be made so another fancy pants scheme? Setting up zones in small areas just plays everyone off against each other, what are these schemes really meant to achieve? |
