I'm with mrcee on this. CPZs are a contagion. Even if the CPZ were just in the roads off HOP, the parking would be pushed further afield, until they got a CPZ and so on, until the whole area is one big CPZ and the council are just rubbing their hands at the thought of all that lovely, regular annual income that they do absolutely nothing to earn.

And as for shops in HOP not being affected, I wonder what the definition of "short term" parking bays are? Half and hour, an hour if you're lucky. Rather takes the shine off a nice lunch at Try or Hopscotch with a friend, if you have to rush it because a car is on the clock. And I'd say at least 90% of clients at Barbaros are there well over an hour - it usually takes me around three!!
