Andrew Mitchell; Chestnut Road, Raynes Park
I believe that the CPZ extension into Carlton Park Avenue, Vernon Avenue and Edna Road between 8.30am and 6.30pm will do very little for the residents of the Apostles in Raynes Park.
The main parking problem in the Apostle streets is between 7.00pm and 8.00am, when people park their cars overnight.
In five years I have never had a problem parking very close to my house in Chestnut Road during the day, but if I come home after 7pm, there is a strong likelihood that I will have to park in an adjacent road.
The only way to resolve this would be to introduce a CPZ in the evening - however, we were not given this option in the consultation and I suspect the council will not consider it.
The only beneficiary from this plan will be Merton Council.
The local residents who they are elected to represent will gain nothing and be expected to pay for the privilege.
