| Although the CPZ discussions revolve around some key principles that you either agree with or disagree with, the devil is in the detail and the facts and their interpretation are often disputed. To give but one example; there are 44 households in Chesterfield Road of these only 11 say when consulted that they want a CPZ. 14 say that they do not want one. An open and shut case you might say - only 25% of households say that they want a CPZ and 12% more respondents say that they do NOT want a CPZ than say they do. However if you repeat the question in a slightly different way and ask if all the surrounding roads have a CPZ would you want one in Chesterfield Road you get a different answer i.e. 14 households say that they want to be in CPZ i.e. nearly 32% of all households, and 12% more of the respondents want a CPZ than positively do not want one. Officers say that a 57% response rate is high and that the key thing to look at is that 14 out of 25 respondents want a CPZ if there is a scheme in surrounding streets. Are they right? I hope that you will accept that it is hard to summarise this sort of information without being accused of "manipulation". |
