| Because this has not really been discussed and a proper public meeting for affected and possibly affected residents not held. One was held in the past by former councillor Val Lamey and when all was revealed in detail it was overwhelmingly rejected. In part because of too many restrictions and inflexibility. There are improvements in the detail. What is wrong are the hours. This has been rushed without proper detail, the majority is divided on technicalities but not on basic choice - that of two hours. The problem is which two hours and it cannot take the brains of ~Hounslow to work out the best two hours surely? The proposal by Grosvenor road residents seems to have addressed that and after it being explained to me last night I see how their proposed times could be universally benificial for the whole zone. It is to be commended. Mafeking ave chose to opt out but like the other original opt out roads, did not expect this full 6 day zone. They already have the worst problem being that they have 2 vehicles per building - not per household and thus have less space than other streets to park already . Most cars are the length of a house width and most houses in Mafeking are, in fact, maisionettes. Thus more residents vehicles than road space And as a local has researched this a bit more, it is more likely that it is Mafeking Ave residents who park in surrounding streets because of their existing level of resident overcrowding. If Mafeking Ave come into the CPZ ( which is probably inevitable ) they will have the right as they do now to park wherever they can. ie in other streets . |
