| «It's pretty much the same everywhere round here and the proposed CPZ will not make that any different.» Once again I have to disagree with this. As I wrote above, here is who the main non-resident parkers are, and how I think will happen, reducing competition for parking: 1. Holiday makers: CPZ will stop them 2. Residents of new developments (and others living outside the proposed CPZ but preferring to park around Griffin Park) who park not just between 5:30pm and 9:30 am: CPZ will stop them. 3. Residents of new developments (and others living outside the proposed CPZ but preferring to park around Griffin Park) who park only between 5:30pm and 9:30 am: They will need to make sure they leave before 9:30am and come no earlier than 5:30pm... They will need to find where to park on Saturdays... So even for them, I think some will seek alternatives, so CPZ will partially stop them; however, I do appreciate that there will be a certain number of such parkers (although less than now) who will continue to be parked within the CPZ during the night hours. How many of this category will continue parking during the night is unclear, but don’t think 100%. 4. Commuters and day time visitors (One car is regularly noticed parking in Braemar Road in the morning, then the driver gets a bike from the car and cycles away. In the afternoon he returns, loads his bike in the car and drives away). CPZ will stop this day time parking. As for the complex 2-hour CPZ versus the current 6 day full-time proposal… I personally do not see much benefit in the complex option. It will be just more difficult to administer. |
