I think the traffic situation was worsened this morning by the roadworks at the top of the hill, but agree that it is often a nightmare in the morning and also in the evening, when people cut down Hengrave and Boveny onto Devonshire to avoid the queues on Honor Oak Park.

A CPZ would imo make a difference. I've lost count of the number of times in the morning I see people parking up and then walking off to the station... If all these cars belong to 'us' then why is it that come 9pm in the evening there is no problem parking anywhere at the end of Devonshire? I know many people are against but I would be more than happy to pay the approx 35 pence per day for residents permit parking.

I'm not convinced a one way is the answer - maybe a weight or width restriction? Also I'm sure that one side of the parking could use the kerb (as round the corner on Honor Oak Park) as the pavements are quite wide.
