Overview

In Barnet, like many other local authorities, we have a system of parking bays and parking permits that prioritises parking for local residents, businesses and their visitors and customers. These systems are called Controlled Parking Zones (CPZ).

Residents of Oakleigh Road South and neighbouring streets have raised concerns that they are experiencing increased parking pressure making it difficult to find parking space on their roads. The high levels of non-resident parking can be attributed to proximity to underground tube stations, schools, businesses, and other amenities. There could also be parking displacement from neighbouring roads with parking controls. The residents

Overview

In Barnet, like many other local authorities, we have a system of parking bays and parking permits that prioritises parking for local residents, businesses and their visitors and customers. These systems are called Controlled Parking Zones (CPZ).

Residents of Oakleigh Road South and neighbouring streets have raised concerns that they are experiencing increased parking pressure making it difficult to find parking space on their roads. The high levels of non-resident parking can be attributed to proximity to underground tube stations, schools, businesses, and other amenities. There could also be parking displacement from neighbouring roads with parking controls. The residents have therefore requested for the introduction of a Controlled Parking Zone to help with their parking needs.


What we are proposing

This informal consultation is intended to give the council a clearer understanding of the parking issues in these roads. This would help to determine whether any changes may be made to improve parking availability for residents and businesses as well as accessibility and road safety. We have provided more information on our proposed CPZ below:

    We asked

    We asked for your views on the implementation of parking controls, including the introduction of a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) in Oakleigh Road South and neighbouring streets N11, in order to address the local parking concerns and demand.

    You said

    We received 278 responses from approximately 1350 properties, which equates to an overall response rate of 21%.

    64% of respondents told us they, their family or visitors experience parking problems near their property. They stated that parking problems are mainly caused by multiple car households, schools, and local businesses.

    Of those properties consulted, 15% objected to the introduction of a Controlled Parking Zone.

    19% of those that responded said they would like traffic issues investigated further to improve road safety and accessibility, monitor the impact of the planned closure of Arnos Grove Station Car Park and the upcoming and ongoing developments in the neighbourhood.

    We did

    Based on the feedback received, we are developing proposals to improve traffic flow, safety, and accessibility at the road junctions and on road bends. We will keep the parking situation under review to assess the impact of ongoing changes in the area.

    The proposals will be discussed and agreed with your Ward Members and subject to funding availability, will be progressed to statutory consultation and implementation.
