I think people park on the pavement because of the moron drivers that use Devonshire Road as a rat run. They have no care for the speed they drive or the cars they hit.

The extra space gained by parking a wheel on the kerb is merely a way of 'protecting' ones car from damage from reckless and idiotic drivers.

Also in my opinion there is ample space at the HOP end for cars to be parked partially on the kerb. This is in place (with marked bays) around the corner on Honor Oak Park all the way up the hill and the path is no wider here.

In regards to lacb's post about bringing people to the area....

The Honor Oak end is next to a nicely developing shopping parade despite the straitened circumstances. Please let's not turn away passing trade this way - this is not West Hampstead, people will not travel here regardless.

Lets not kid ourslelves that people are travelling by car to 'visit' the shopping parade at Honor Oak Park! People are just parking up here to use the train. (Spaces full by 8am and empty by 7pm!) Anyway the highstreet already has ample parking bays with restricted parking times so a CPZ would not affect this.
