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.

Engagement was carried out between 5 September and 29 September 2024 and sought views on proposals to extend the Totteridge and Whetstone Station (TW) CPZ.

You can view the findings from this previous informal parking consultation in the “We asked, you said, we did” section of the Proposed extension to existing Totteridge and Whetstone Station (TW) CPZ – parking engagement.


What we are proposing

We have reviewed all the comments received during the informal engagement and to address the majority of residents’ parking issues, it has been agreed to progress with the implementation of an experimental (trial) extension of the TW CPZ. The experimental CPZ will come into operation on Monday 17 March 2025.


Where and how the experimental CPZ Scheme will operate

A summary of the roads that are included in the extension, and a map of the CPZ are provided in the links below:

You can also view the restrictions by searching your road name on the Barnet TraffWeb website at https://barnet.traffweb.app/ and selecting Traffic Orders on the left-hand side of the page.

Operation times of the experimental CPZ will be the same as the existing southern (TW) CPZ:

  • Monday to Friday between 2pm and 3pm

Parking restrictions (single and double yellow lines) will be implemented in areas of concern to improve road safety.

The scheme will be implemented for a period of up to eighteen months, comments, received during the first six months will constitute as the statutory consultation.

This experimental scheme enables officers time to consider any comments received, assess the effectiveness of the parking controls, and make changes if required. Parking stress surveys will be undertaken three months after the implementation of the scheme to determine if there are locations within the CPZ that are underutilised.


When and how the scheme will be implemented

Implementation of the scheme will start week commencing Monday 3 March 2025. The works will include the installation of:

  • permit parking area (PPA) signs at the start of each road. This allows us to remove the need for marked parking bays and posts and signs, whilst maximising kerb space and reducing the environmental impact of the street scene
  • double yellow lines at junctions and bends where parking currently reduces access for larger vehicles such as emergency services
  • resident Parking Bays and some Pay to Park (cashless) marked bays will be installed along Swan Lane.
  • Pay to Park (cashless) bays will be installed along Naylor Road and Birley Road
  • double yellow lines in-front of dropped kerbs of Swan Lane; to provide passing points and allow smoother traffic flow, especially for larger vehicles such as emergency services.


Applying for a permit

Residents with properties within the Totteridge and Whetstone Station CPZ extension area, that meet the correct criteria, can apply for a parking permit from 17 February 2025. Your zone identifier code will be (TW).

Residents and businesses with valid permits are permitted to park in any road in both the existing TW CPZ and in the new experimental extension area.

Residents residing in a private road, private development, or are included within a car free or car restrained development will not be permitted to purchase permits for the zone as they have their own parking arrangements in place.


Disabled bays

If you are a Blue Badge holder with an existing disabled parking bay that is already allocated to you, this will be included within the CPZ and will not affect your ability to park in the bay.

If you wish to apply for a new disabled bay, please visit our dedicated webpage.


How to have your say

If you wish to make any comments or objections regarding any of the above proposals, please send them in writing quoting reference number ‘Experimental TW CPZ extension’ by:

The closing date of this statutory consultation is 17 September 2025.

In line with the Statutory process, responses to the consultation will be reviewed once the six-month experimental period has ended.


What happens after the consultation closes?

The Council will review the feedback received during the 6-months statutory consultation period and we will publish the decision on the future of the scheme on this web page and in a letter to local residents by 1 November 2025.
