Lewisham Council planning and highways departments try to limit the number of cars per household and don't really see a problem with 13 flat developments with only 2 parking spaces (Perry Vale fire station), or with the conversion of houses in entire streets to multiple flats.

There is then a problem, particularly in 'sustainable living areas' ( = close to stations and don't need a car) when people actually do have cars. Those houses do not have room to park all their cars and there is no room for parking for people driving past the local shops.

The only solution they have to this is to charge people for parking outside their houses in an attempt to price Lewisham residents off the curbs.

So does the effective enforcement of existing parking restrictions on junctions and corners. How does a CPZ improve this (assuming traffic wardens are doing a good job on residential road in Lewisham that do not have CPZ)?
