| Got you lot thinking ! My thoughts are as follows: Penny - houses with no off-street parking - hard luck. They are probably in a lower Council Tax Band anyway. It's also not a god-given right to own a car. James - distance from shops/offices - northwest of Ealing Broadway - Pitshanger area and upper end of Argyle Road. Eric - Council car parks for commuters - perhaps, but they wouldn't be free which really is why commuters don'. Of course the ideal place to build them would be on the land occupied by premises which don't have parking facilities. When those premises were built the proprietor and staff probably lived within a couple of hundred metres. That they might not nowadays would show that the premises are unsuitable for our times. Brian - I am not suggesting NO parking but that it is not free for all-day parking. The advantages of CPZs is that the share out limited parking space. Penny - overloaded public transport - there are lots of answers I can think of - Too many commuters because of bad social engineering (the 1940s Abercrombie plan for rebuilding Greater London addressed that) is just one. Incidentally my idea for the 20 minute walk is based on the thought most people would not want to walk for that length of time. |
