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.

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:
