The other thing with CPZ's is that you end up with less parking spaces than you do now. In the last consultation, there were plans/photos showing how the bay's would look. Each junction would have double yellow lines running around each corner removing 2-3 spaces on each road, so 8-12 less spaces per junction. Also, anyone who has a dropped kerb/driveway would find a double yellow line over their drive, meaning that no one can ever park there again. Anyone who has two cars would then have to use a bay resulting in even less spaces. Also, the council will issue more permits than spaces and it does not guarantee a space outside your house. When I park, I can't always park outside the house but normally within a max 2 min walk which in London is acceptable. CPZ's in my opinion are just a way for the council to make money.
