I am a resident of Eden Way and I know that my neighbours find it difficult to find a parking space near their homes in the day because of commuter parking. I understand that it must be difficult if you have heavy shopping or small children but not sure that CPz is the way forward. After 7pm and weekends the road is clear so I assume it isn't a problem for those that are out at work themselves in the day. My understanding is that Bromley are going to abide by the majority vote and have asked for responses by 15 June. The paper delivered to homes by the originators of the petition expressed a concern that residents would lose the right to park across their drives as these areas would become single yellows if the CPz came in. The homes at the top end of the road have shared drives so are already unable to park across their drives, so I presume this would not be a concern for them.

We in Kingston Crescent (Off Hayne Road) would welcome consultation on restricted parking.  Ever since CPZ has been introduced around New Beckenham, Beckenham Junction and Clockhouse all the commuters and gym parkers have been parking down our crescent and being selfish as to where they park.  They park in areas that residents park, on corners and even blocking the enterance to the crescent - thus blocking access to the crescent for emergency / delivery vehicles. 

 

When residents have spoken to these people they become rude and abusive.  We have even had cars left in our crescent for days at a time (there is one that is currently parked not in a parking space, and has been there for 7 days!)  They dump litter in our crescent and its, franklly, becoming a major pain. 

 

We would welcome discussion on this, as we have filled in the parking survey TWICE and have received no reply from the council.  We are in the process of petitioning the Councillors and we will be requesting restricted parking down our crescent.

Residents in the affected roads have now been iinformed in a letter from Bromley dated July 2012 "Responses to the consultation indicated that the majority of respondents did not support the proposal to introduce a new CPZ. The results of the consultation will now go in a report to the September Environment Policy Development and Scrutiny Commitee with the recommendation that the new CPZ is not installed on the basis that the majority of residents did not support the proposals ... A decision will be made shortly after the committee ..."
