| It is obvious that this is part of a concerted and cynical move by our so called representatives to impose a cash cow CPZ on this community. Consider this: The Watermans has recently announced that it will charge for parking. There is a new residential development being built next to the Watermans. Hamilton Road, Layton Road and (Brook Lane North) all CPZ The Tower a 32 storey partly residential building is under construction at Great West Quarter nearby. These developments plus others planned around the high street will (if the developers are to be believed) attract plenty of visitors. Q. Where will the overspill parking go - where will canny visiting motorists park? A. Anywhere where restrictions don't apply. Q. What will rightly aggrieved residents ultimately do when parking becomes impossible? A. Relent and beg for a CPZ To those that say householders have no right to a parking place near their home - I say, try bringing up the future generation of this country (ferrying kids to school, sporting and other clubs such as the Scouts, visiting far away relatives, doing the weekly family shop) without access to a car! It's a bit like saying live without the Internet, phone, tv, radio or other modern day conveniences that millions of people rely on in our 21st century society. Is the truth really that those nay sayers are simply against the traditional family unit? It is all a disgrace - it is enriching developers who couldn't care less about Brentford. They are sitting pretty in luxurious mansions with ample private parking, far far far away from our community. You can also be assured that the ruling members of the council are complicit in this and couldn't care less about the impact of all this over-development on our community and the inevitable stresses it will place on Brentford's limited infrastructure (schools, doctor's surgeries, railway, roads etc.). Why? because the outcomes suit their political agenda perfectly. |
