I think thats exactly what LBL should do.
Before councils all over London cottoned onto this new stealth tax and began introducing CPZs, did we all have such a widespread problem that we do now? I don't think so.

As was mentioned earlier, all roads took a share of commuter parking. All CPZs have done is displaced the problem onto surrounding areas thus making the problem much more dense.

Admittledly, I am very anti-CPZ.
I used to live in Greenwich and saw the negative impact that CPZ brought there. They sold it to the residents as purely to stop commuters from parking up and using the DLR. The charge was only to cover the costs of implementing and running the scheme. So how can they then justify increases of sometimes upto 50%? Wages? If thats the case, I'm becoming a warden. Sure beats my nil wage increase.

As you will find in a lot of cases, when it is introduced, the council in their wisdom double yellow half the road concerned. This greatly reduces what parking space their was originally. This automatically displaces parking onto other roads, even for residents. On my current road, TFL has implemented a pointless double Red line across 20% of the road and parking bays on the other side. This has forced us to park in other roads on occasions as we have now lost half the road to park.

On the flip side, in some cases they actually introduce Pay & Display spaces in areas where before it was deemed inappropriate to park. Why all of a sudden can you park somewhere that was previousley considered dangerous before? Extra Revenue is my guess!

Another factor people should consider is friends and family visiting. You have to either pay for usually expensive day permits for them (which have a limit that you can buy in a year) or they have to use the pay & display machines. These in a lot of cases have only a maximum 2 hour stay! Very handy if its the mother in law visiting but for everyone else its outrageous. Obviously there is now a friends and family tax!

Its similar schemes like this that have contributed to the detrimental decline of local shops, that we can no longer park outside for a quick shop. But don't get me started on that.

Your local council does not give a damn about your parking. Only how it can profit from it. You have been warned...
