Camden are consulting on extending the hours within which only residents can park in zones CA-F (Camden Town) and CA-L (Kentish Town West). Currently CA-F has hours that vary from 8:30-18:30 to 8:30-23:00 on weekdays and 9:30-17:30 to 9:30-23:00 on weekends.
Parts of CA-L have restrictions between 9:00 to 11:00 weekdays only.
We strongly support increasing the hours of control, particularly at evenings and weekends, including 24 hour restrictions where appropriate. This will have the effect of deterring non-residents from driving into the CPZ and parking their cars (avoiding the Congestion Charge) and then using public transport or walking into Central London; this behaviour increases the number of journeys into Camden from outside the borough, especially at evening and weekends, impacting all areas, not just those subject to these consultations, and should be strongly discouraged.
