No - Lewisham only. Bromley did a CPZ consultation around Penge East Station (including the Bromley end of Venner Road and Newlands Park) about a year ago. Residents voted "No" and the matter of a CPZ quietly went away. Not aware that Southwark have done a consultation in their bit of SE26

I called the Parking Implementation Team number this morning and asked the scope of the consultation. It would appear that all residential roads in the SE26 area are to receive the questionnaire.

Whether you are in favour of a Controlled Parking Zone or not may well be down to whether you experience local parking problems or not.

The Council has given us 3 weeks to respond - and the questionnaire looks fair. It deserves a good response from the residents.

When the Sydenham Gate proposals are implemented (fingers crossed) Venner Road would be closed to traffic from Sydenham Road thus creating a public open space.

Where better to have a Farmer's Market?
