| Fair point about the commuters. However, there's no doubt that the situation in the area has got very much worse in the last six to eight months, as more CPZs are implemented in the surrounding area. Cars arriving during the day may well belong to our neighbour's visitors, but my suspicion is that they're also shoppers not wishing to pay the congestion charge, visitors to GSK and visitors to people living in CPZ areas - all of whom are being displaced into the ever-smaller area without a CPZ. Our area. Yes, there are those in Chiswick who are nervous. However, I'd also suggest a visit to Ealing Zone N, where - despite it being a 'one hour in the morning, one hour in the afternoon' CPZ - it's a deterrent to the day trippers and the parking issues are eased. It's correct that the issue will never go away completely - but it will be better with a CPZ. And 'better' is all I'm looking for (and if I have to pay a nominal sum for it, then so be it). And White Van Man. Agreed that there's a lot of home improvement being done right now - did it myself recently - but in Hamilton Road, one evening earlier this week, when you'd reasonably assume the working day is over and the workmen have gone home, I counted 10 vans. They weren't all there during the day and I know enough about my neighbours to state that they don't all belong to residents. Nope. They're being parked there by people who live elsewhere and either don't want to take their vans home (they're not easy on the eye, after all) or can't because they live in a CPZ. What do you think? |
