The problem is prior to the CPZ introduction the small independent trader had no chance of parking in Waldenshaw or St Davids roads as they were full of commuter cars (other roads are available). Post CPZ and local residents can actually park in their roads and local traders have a discounted parking permit.

I for one am very glad we have a CPZ.

I am not so happy at the cost post introduction and have voiced my opinion on the subject in the consultation document.
