HERNE HILL CONTROLLED PARKING ZONE REVIEW
At the recent Herne Hill Forum meeting the Chair stated that it would be useful to make the Herne Hill CPZ serve residents and traders, rather than just keep out commuters. To that end he suggested the following:
1. that the zone's times should be revised to 1200-1500 Mon-Fri only, instead of the current draconian 0830-1830. This will mean that, outside those hours, people may go about their business, shop, visit surgeries, playgroups etc. in all the streets in the zone, and thus relieve parking pressure in streets outside the zone. Herne Hill Forum has learned that some other residents groups will press for this.
2. that the current short-term free bays in Half Moon Lane, Stradella and Winterbrook Roads be increased from 20 minutes to 30. This would greatly assist the traders.
When filling in Consultation Papers you may wish to bear the above in mind.
