Factorsaffecting CPZ voting
Factors in favour / ReasonProximity to existing CPZ area / Already impacted by CPZ displacement of parking
Proximity to Station / Commuters reduce available parking spaces
Proximity to school / nursery / GP surgery / Recreation area / People using facilities reduce available parking spaces
Factors against / Reason
Alternative parking arrangements eg garage or off-street parking available / CPZ will not improve parking
Yellow lining could reduce parking in front of off-street
Parking difficult at evenings / weekends / Parking limited so CPZ will not improve

NB only roads with a response rate of over 20% or more than 5 respondents have been included, otherwise results can become very distorted.
Conclusion
The proposed CPZ area includes streets with very different parking issues.
Clearly streets such as Brantwood Road, with offstreet parking for almost every house, will never need or benefit from CPZ.
Equally an ‘all or nothing’ approach to CPZ implementation will condemn streets such as Rollscourt Avenue, with very little parking alternatives, to desperate parking problems – much of which has been caused by the implementation of CPZ ( Lambeth and Southwark) in the Herne Hill area.
Proposal
Lambeth should only implement the CPZ in areas that voted in favour and they should form part of the Kings College Hospital existing CPZ area, which is close by.
