Such a shame nobody is able to educate the traders who think trade will be reduced If cars cannot park outside their stores. That's not to have a go at traders and I would probably think that too of I wasn't in the transport industry and hadn't been exposed to years of research. All over the word trade has shown to not suffer even with permanent reductions in parking and in the lots of cases it's gone up. There is varying quality to the data and surveys but all the statistically significant ones show no reduction. Re clogging up in other areas this comes down to the promotion. A lot of people who want to pass through Chiswick High Road (which is most motorists) would be more likely to change their travel plan rather than attempt to zig zag round back streets. Again this is from data not assumptions. |
