Haringey Council has announced the findings of a major consultation on whether residents in N8 and N6 would like new parking controls in their roads.

The council says plans were drawn up by the council in conjunction with a focus group of local residents and ward councillors in response to increasing concerns about parking pressures in the area, particularly following the introduction of two new CPZs over the borough border in Islington.

Residents were asked if they would like a CPZ introduced in their road:

60% said no;
37 % said yes
3% said don't know

Residents were asked if there was a parking problem in their road:

50% said no;
47% said yes
1% said don't know
2% didn't reply

Those respondents who said no to whether they wanted their road included in a CPZ were then asked whether they would agree a CPZ might be needed in their road if neighbouring roads were included in a zone:

43% said no
37% gave no reply
14% said yes
6% said don't know.

There was clear support for a CPZ in some roads. These include (based on 10 or more responses):

Mount View Road (95 per cent in favour)
Dickenson Road (86 per cent)
Briston Grove (82 per cent)
Claremont Road (82 per cent)
Hurst Avenue (80 per cent)
Tregaron Avenue (75 per cent)
Stanhope Gardens (74 per cent)
Haslemere Road (70 per cent)
Stanhope Road (69 per cent)
Avenue Road (61 per cent)
Elm Grove (60 per cent)

However, the majority of roads were clearly opposed to inclusion in a CPZ. These include:

The Broadway (100 per cent opposed)
Clifton Road (95 per cent)
Drylands Road (94 per cent)
Wolseley Road (93 per cent)
Glasslyn Road (92 per cent)
Landrock Road (86 per cent)
Lynton Road (85 per cent)
Park Road (85 per cent)
Middle Lane (84 per cent)
Rosebery Gardens (80 per cent)
Ferme Park Road (79 per cent)
Weston Park (77 per cent)
Coolhurst Road (77 per cent)
Crouch End Hill (75 per cent)
Shepherds Hill (75 per cent)
Tivoli Road (74 per cent)
Haringey Park (74 per cent)
Shepherds Close (73 per cent)
Crouch Hill (73 per cent)
Cecile Park (73 per cent)
Crouch Hall Road (69 per cent)
Bourne Road (64 per cent)
Hornsey Lane (64 per cent)
Palace Road (60 per cent)

Cabinet Member for Environment and Conservation, Cllr Brian Haley, said: "This was one of the biggest responses we've had to a consultation of this kind and I'd like to thank everyone who replied.

Parking ticket being issued

"Clearly there's a wide range of views here, with some roads clearly in favour of a controlled parking zone and some clearly opposed.

"We will now study the results in detail to try to find a solution which best addresses residents' concerns."

A decision on whether to introduce any CPZ and, if so, which roads will be announced in September.

If the council agrees to proceed with any scheme, there would then be a second opportunity for residents to give views.
