If you don't like it there then move elsewhere.The shops were there before most of the streets around it were built.West Ealing was a far busier shopping venue than it is now and cars and vehicles have been present for well over a century.In the 1960s Leeland, Melbourne Westfied and Coldershaw roads were regularly blocked up with traffic and very often shoppers parked as far away as NorthfieldsThe car parks relieved a lot of the problems until charges came in and detracted shoppers. Then West Ealing went on the slide and it is also expensive to park legally for what is poor shopping and quick purchase.To have another CPZ will simply be another nail in the coffin of the local economy, you the resident pays for it - heavily and the benefit is nil.The streets will be empty during the day, business will be decimated,rate income lowered and services reduced.I note that it is very difficult to park round here at night. That's because it's residents. No-one in their right mind parks off street around here at night to go to the Broadway.There will be no change to that, The CPZ will offer less parking and the resident will pay heavily to park in it. There will be more permits than spaces as is other areas where there is little off street parking.That's the way it is. CPZ will change nothing except for the Yummy Mummies who drive everywhere during the day.It's the way it is for this part of town, has been for decades and thats it's geographic and socio-economic circumstance.So if that's unacceptable, go live somewhere else.It is nowhere near as bad as it was
