Parking survey

It has been more than 5 years since the last survey of attitudes towards parking on our street, including whether or not residents want a CPZ.

Because this is an issue residents keep returning to, we have created a short (2-3 minute) survey to see what residents think. It is an informal survey, but we hope to use it to inform if and how to engage with Lambeth Council on the issue of parking.

The survey is aimed at residents of Rosebery/Thornbury rds, but can also accommodate the views of residents of Thorncliffe, Kingswood and Wingford rds.

We welcome all views on parking. The important thing is that any resident that wants to give their opinion can do so.

The link is available on the private residents' association Google Groups forum. If you are a resident you can apply to join, which will allow you to see the community conversations.

The survey itself will remain open until the end of September. We will also be circulating a paper flyer to residents with details of both the Google Group and the survey.

A record of street images to assess the potential impact of a CPZ

So we're currently asking residents of Rosebery and Thornbury Rds to take pics of their street and surrounding streets to fill out a gallery of images that show what the streets look like during different times of the day and night, and at different times of the week.

The results have so far been quite consistent: the pictures below show two aspects of Lyham Road. On the right, the last point at which the Controlled Parking Zone is in force. On the left, 20 yards away, where there is no Controlled Parking Zone. The two photos were taken within one minute of one another.

We have created two albums, which are freely accessible:

 - Images from on and around Rosebery and Thornbury Roads, including Lyham Rd, Wingford Rd - where there is no CPZ.

 - Images from other roads on Brixton Hill and the neighbouring area where a CPZ is operational.

We welcome submissions that help us fill out a more complete record of what things look like through the day and on different days of the week.

Streets on Brixton Hill with a CPZ

One of the recurring themes in discussions about a CPZ is whether it would/not make a difference to the number of spaces on the street.

We've started a gallery on Google+ for photos of surrounding streets on Brixton Hill that have a CPZ. 

We also have a gallery on Google + for photos of parking on Rosebery Rd,Thornbury Rd and nearby roads that also have no CPZ. 

Please feel free to send in your photos, with time+date+location, so we can add them to the gallery. They will form part of any discussion we have on the impact of and need for a CPZ.
