@ Shzl400 - It's not quite true - there is controlled parking in forest hill around Sainsburys - this doesn't seem to have spread for miles around?
Obviously the problem in HOP is very localised to the roads surrounding the station and so people will have vastly differing views. I don't see why a 12-2 zone could not be put in place in these areas.
Also - I think friends, family and trades people would welcome a CPZ where I live. It's impossible to park any where near my house after about 8am on a weekday anyway. Builders often end up double parked or over people's driveways etc
