I think we all know the arguments for and against CPZ and in an ideal world a reasonable approach that reflects the views of the majority will prevail.

In the meantime spare a thought for the residents of Devonshire Road near Honor Oak station.

As I walked to the station early on Saturday I noticed a couple parking on Devonshire Road who then walked to the station with suitcases. From their conversation on the platform it was clear they were off on holiday.

For those that live near popular commuter stations commuter parking must be bad enough. Holiday parking is surely beyond the pale.
