Brent Cross Cricklewood Experimental Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) UC4 – BB Zone

Brent Cross Cricklewood Experimental Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) UC4 – BB Zone 

At Barnet Council, like any other borough, we have a system of parking bays and parking permits that prioritises parking for residents, businesses and their visitors and customers. These systems are called Controlled Parking Zones.

In 2023, we introduced parking controls on a temporary basis, known as an Experimental Controlled Parking Zone (ECPZ) on Brent Terrace, Clitterhouse Crescent, Clitterhouse Road and a section of Claremont Road in the NW2 area. This was implemented to address existing parking issues and prevent non-resident parking in the area. After a formal consultation, we made this first phase of the area-wide CPZ permanent in 2024. More information can be found here.

Barnet Council has monitored the impact on parking in the wider area through surveys that took place in November 2023, June 2024 and August 2024. The results of the surveys show that there has been an increase in the levels of parking on most of the roads in the area over the last 12 months; including Claremont Road, Marble Drive, Prayle Grove, Amber Grove and Wallcote Avenue (Zone BB). The survey identified the following: 

• The first phase of the CPZ on Brent Terrace, Clitterhouse Crescent and Clitterhouse Road has had an impact on neighbouring roads.
• The busiest road in the area is Clitterhouse Road.
• Vehicles parking at junctions impact the visibility and safety for all road users.
• There are access issues for residents to and from private driveways.
• Safety problems arising from traffic issues on Claremont Road, especially during school pick and drop off times.
• The proposed plans for Clitterhouse Playing Fields and the introduction of new sports facilities and other amenities are expected to increase parking pressures.

We also expect that with the future occupied development in Brent Cross Town and the introduction of more new facilities in the area, there will be added parking pressure on the roads.
