Ha ha not that I know if! It's quite odd though (especially as he also has a dropped kerb and driveway which he never uses).

Our street is not included in the CPZ proposal but these things do have a habit of spreading. I often find it difficult to park by my house but still don't think I'd want a CPZ here.

Our street was recently repaved and I was surprised how many driveways were given a double dropped kerb if their driveway happened to have been laid over the whole of the front garden. I would have thought each house should be given just one dropped kerb of a specified width? (Thereby creating some off-street parking too). It seems those who have decided to Tarmac the whole of the front garden (rather than for example creating one driveway, and a planted area to the side for rainwater runoff) were rewarded with a double dropped kerb. In some cases where two neighbouring houses have tarmaced the whole of their front gardens, the council put in one massive long dropped kerb so no on-street parking at all. If everyone did that the street would just end up looking like one long car-park.
