So few responded to a 'consultation' that many streets within the zone had no desire or cause to demand or request that it is a rather odd situation. There are far more pressing and urgent issues even within the BRS zone but not a finger is lifted to deal with those issues. So this has to be about raising cash and satisfying the contractors requirement for a profit. The problem is the consultation, conveniently hushed up during the election offered a confusing array of options and implied that the present timings were largely disliked.  Given that it was resident input on a large scale that supported the timings and that local conversation does not centre on the CPZ and parking indicates to me that it has worked pretty well in the main. In the end very few responded to the consultation compared to the amount of permit holders, far too few for the consultation to have any sort of mandate for change. But this happened before.  The original CPZ proposals were far from satisfactory and far too few residents responded to it. Then when the alarm bells rang a few residents started a petition with alternative proposals and when the petition exceeded the number of consultant respondents by a country mile, surprise , surprise our local councillors step in and suddenly it is all sorted Largely thanks to Ruth Cadbury who saw the damage it might have in the then forthcoming elections. So really it is down to residents in all streets to communicate with each other and if not happy get a new petition up or lobby the councillors, one or two of whom do not seem to be keen on how residents really feel.
