Thanks for the figures in your earlier post andrewr. Did you also have the census figures which was done last year?
I'm going to raise a few issues here and I might sound a bit pedantic , I don't mean too but I just think it has to keep being hammered to make the point. Parking on the pavement is not just for residents of Devonshire rd to consider it affects all the people who walk down Devonshire rd, many on a daily basis in
order to reach public transport which they are choosing to use. I still find it bizarre to accept that these people have their pavement space taken away in order that residents who own cars can park their cars more safely because many people who do not leave anywhere in the area choose to drive down a road which is too narrow to take two way traffic ( and in order to get there have driven down roads such as Benson, Tyson Ewelme and Dunoon etc) because they do not wish to drive down Honor Oak Rd, the south circular or Brockley Rise, which are the through routes. Any potential traffic calming in the area may increase the traffic on these roads, unfortunate for people who live on them, but they are the through routes. Maybe any potential traffic calming may also increase the time some of these motorists spend driving through Lewisham ......... there could be many consequences which are difficult to predict, maybe some of them would not use their cars to commute or maybe carbon emissions would rise, I have no idea, but it still seems odd to me that a hypothetical commute from Catford to Peckham involves driving along Benson rd.
