Perception is part of the reason I think a CPZ won't work.

Living 300m down the road from HOP, I see the parking issue differently, so would oppose the idea of bringing in a CPZ which doesn't fix the problems I find (busy at evenings and Sunday nights), introduces extra costs and inconvenience for visitors. I've had a number of weekday deliveries and trades visit us over the 6 months and they've usually managed to find a spot within 5 houses distance without issue.

Whereas you see the problems during the day at the end of the road, but find parking in the evening easier and would be happy to pay for a CPZ to ease the situation.

Neither of our views are incorrect, but a CPZ won't fix what you experience without impacting what I experience.

The biggest problem is that introducing a CPZ merely moves the problem you get to somewhere else and doesn't take cars off the road. If the CPZ existed people would park where it wasn't enforced... There would still be people who drive in to commute from HOP, but instead of parking at the end of Devonshire, they'll move to Boveney, Hengrave, Dunoon, the other end of Devonshire or wherever the CPZ isn't. You'll also find residents and visitors looking to park in non-CPZ roads to save cash or avoid a warden, inconveniencing more local residents. So then other areas consider CPZs and suddenly everyone is paying to park.

Maybe the kerb parking is the best idea. Although, as you say, its not great for pedestrians... I'd love to hear other ideas. Be interesting to hear the council's response to the HOPRA survey too.
