CPZ Parking Permits in Northern Brent

A few weeks ago, I was on the Planning Committee asked to give permission to a 4 FE primary school near Wembley High ( making it an "all through" school).  We did so, despite the complaints of many residents that parking in the area was impossible.

Looking at the parking around there, it is undeniable that the problems are severe.  Yet they remind me very strongly of the paring issues around Kilburn, Cricklewood and Kensal Green before those areas had CPZs.  I know that CPZs are anathema in much of the north of the Borough, but perhaps it is worth considering them again. They can constitute a reasonable trade off for residents to limit parking demand at the price of paying an annual fee.
