We asked

Following on from concerns raised in relation to commuter and erroneous parking, the Council undertook a parking engagement on proposals to extend the existing North Finchley (FN) Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) to include 11 roads in the Woodside Park area, west of the existing FN CPZ.

You said

We received 122 responses out of 836 letters sent to residents outlining the proposed extension. This represents a response rate of 14%.

When asked if you were in favour of being included in the FN CPZ:

• 41 (34%) said yes
• 64 (53%) said no
• 6 (5%) were not sure and;
• 11 (8%) left this question blank

We did

We have taken several factors into consideration including the feedback received during the engagement, which had indicated that the implementation of a CPZ is not the most appropriate method of control at this time. However, Officers are aware of a number of safety concerns raised in relation to obstruction at junctions and in other locations in the area and the Council will therefore be implementing safety measures such as waiting restrictions (yellow lines) in these locations.

We have written to residents in the area updating them on our decision. You can read this letter here.

If you would like to make any representations in relation to parking concerns you have, please submit any petitions online via barnet.gov.uk and feedback to your ward members for consideration. On receipt of any concerns raised, we will ensure the location is added to our database of requests for future review. You can also email highwayscorrespondence@barnet.gov.uk with your comments.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who responded to the engagement request.
