London Local Authorities Bill [Lords]

My hon. Friend is beginning to expose one of the problems that the Bill seeks to resolve. When CPZs are put into residential streets in London, up to 80% of parking bays are often removed because of legislation that specifies the space in which parking is permitted, and residents are charged a premium to park in their own streets. The Bill's opponents would like that to be imposed on the whole of London, rather than favouring sensible regulation to control on-street trading.
