| You all have my sympathy folks. The Lead Cllr in the LBH Cabinet for traffic and parking is 27yr old youngster Cllr Ed Mayne of Isleworth. His parents live in a nobby road in leafy Grove Park, Chiswick, with a majority of homes having ample off street parking. The whole of Grove Park one and a half years ago voted overwhelmingly (93%) against any CPZ. In the face of this massive vote, all the 9 Chiswick councillors agreed NO CPZ in Grove Park. However, they reckoned without the Machiavellian Ed. Ed's parents and their neighbours don't like anyone else parking in THEIR road - this suited our Ed just fine. He has ignored the local people, overruled all the local councillors, and his buddies at Lampton Rd have backed him through 2 Scrutiny Committees and now two of the longest roads in Grove Park are to get a totally un-necessary and un-wanted CPZ. This will cause a big over-flow of cars into smaller nearby roads, where many homes do not have off street parking. Eventually, the whole of Grove Park will become a giant CPZ which will please our Ed and more importantly the giant company who LBH are about to sign a contract with to manage and run all the parking within the Borough. This private company do not like pockets of no CPZ - they want every street to have controlled parking to make it really profitable to send in the wardens and their PCNs! The Labour controlled LBH care not one jot for local opinion or local democracy - they ignore it all. They are not fit for purpose and meanwhile we groan under their tyranny. |
