Good timing. BD lives in a rose tinted cyclists world and has only just noticed the CPZ. He often debates the relative inadequaces of the London Boroughs of Lewisham and Southwark. But LBS have scored a major result in his eyes. Within about half a mile of Herne Hill station they have introduced CPZ - the normal mix of residents and pay. But, my word, they have acutally thought about it properly. And only have it for two hours a day over lunchtime, hence stopping those who drive to the station and leave their cars all day. Whilst some of those who drive in the day who may actually have a good reason to drive, are able to use the now generally empty parking spaces. Now BD strongly believes in controls around our schools but elsewhere in SE23 thinks the two hour rule would be a good thing. Bringing in a modest amount of revenue without getting our collective Daily Mail tendancies going.

Happy to receive your pats on the back.
