It's really very simple.
The majority of residents in Hurst Road voted in favour of a CPZ so they get one.
What beggars belief is that residents in Crescent road, among others, voted against the CPZ so didn't get one and are now complaining because neighbouring roads will in a CPZ and and there will be a problem with 'displacement parking'. There was a clear option in the questionnaire to say 'no but...' - in other words 'I don't want a CPZ unless the adjoining roads get one'.
I realise that if everyone chooses that option then the whole of Crouch End will be a CPZ but that is coming anyway. This current implementation is a direct result of residents adjoining the Highgate station CPZs lobbying the council and the next tranche of lobbying (eg Crescent Road) has already started.
