We Asked, You Said, We Did

We Asked

We asked for your views on the implementation of parking controls, including the extension of a Controlled parking Zone (CPZ) in Temple Fortune Hill (between Willifield Way and Erskine Hill, and North Square) to address local concerns about non-residential and inconsiderate parking.

You said

Overall, out of the 360 letters we sent out to the addresses within the consultation boundary, we received 77 responses, representing a 21% response rate.

19% of residents responded in favour to the proposed CPZ extension, however it should be noted that these residents lived within the proposed CPZ extension boundary.

81% of residents objected or raised concerns regarding the scheme. Most of these objections were received from residents outside of the proposed CPZ extension boundary, who raised concerns around displacement of parking.

We did

Based on the feedback received, we have made the decision to implement the scheme as proposed. However it was acknowledged that concern does exist from residents of local neighbouring roads regarding the potential displacement of parked vehicles into their roads and this is a possibility, although Officers consider that ongoing monitoring of comments received post-CPZ implementation should be undertaken and given the concern, that a report summarising the feedback should be reported back to this Committee, for it to decide whether they wish to see any further action taken in respect of parking in the area.

If you wish to make any comments and observations regarding this proposal please send them in writing quoting reference number SCR-247, to the Traffic & Design Team at parking.consultations@barnet.gov.uk
