Parking Fiasco
Post a Reply to this topic.
How on earth can Haringey justify including Hurst Avenue in the CPZ ? One side has houses with driveways able to hold a dozen cars each and the other side are playing fields ! Its too far from Highgate tube station and Crouch End shops to be a problem. It is vital overspill parking for the neighbourhood. Did it perhaps spoil someones view ?
Come the revolution, someone needs to look at this decision ....

I agree. It’s typical of the council - they are just out to make more money from us as usual. I’m so fed up of this CPZ thing, it’s a real pain. It’s not as if you can actually park outside your own house when you get home (especially if you work late). Keep it out for a long as possible in Muswell Hill ! Don’t even get me started on the bus lane fiasco. Does anybody actually know when you can go into a bus lane? Why not make all the times the same to save confusion? I once got a ticket for going in a bus lane on a Sunday! They are a shower of miserable, money-grabbing g*ts ...

It's really very simple.
The majority of residents in Hurst Road voted in favour of a CPZ so they get one.
What beggars belief is that residents in Crescent road, among others, voted against the CPZ so didn't get one and are now complaining because neighbouring roads will in a CPZ and and there will be a problem with 'displacement parking'. There was a clear option in the questionnaire to say 'no but...' - in other words 'I don't want a CPZ unless the adjoining roads get one'.
I realise that if everyone chooses that option then the whole of Crouch End will be a CPZ but that is coming anyway. This current implementation is a direct result of residents adjoining the Highgate station CPZs lobbying the council and the next tranche of lobbying (eg Crescent Road) has already started. -
I believe CPZ stands for controlled parking zone, not controlled parking ROAD, so those of us in Crescent Road who voted against were thinking of the ZONE as a whole.
I imagine you feel rather pleased, Mr Mahon, that we are excluded as it enables you to continue parking outside my house when you go to M&S.
Nevertheless, it is for Haringey to consider this as a whole and not road by road because now Crescent Road will become a free-for-all every morning as the idle and the commuter fight to park. Not to mention the residents. -
The residents of Hurst Avenue obviously have friends in high places. Thier road should not have even been on the consultation document.

What a total mess, why can't they leave well alone
