Dear All,

I have decided to reignite the debate on introducing a CPZ on the Enfield side of Bounds Green. As I am sure many of you are aware Enfield Council consulted on the idea around 5 years ago now and since then its my belief that things have got worse.

I live on York Road and on speaking to my immediate neighbors saw that there was an agreement that it would be good if something could be done. I leafleted the majority of York Road on Friday to canvas opinion asking for people to sign there name at the following link http://tiny.cc/bgcpz and have been quite pleased with the response so far.

I conducted a unscientific survey last week along York Road which showed that on Saturday and Sunday at around 1pm, there were 16 and 18 spaces respectively that were available, however at the same time on Monday there were only 2.

It is quite clear that the bulk of the availability of spaces is concentrated during weekdays and the problem is being caused by commuters who use our roads as a car park. As Haringey have a CPZ covering their side it has further pushed more vehicles down into Enfield.

Russell Road CPZ Consultation Results have been published - https://new.enfield.gov.uk/services/parking/parking/controlled-park...

That link doesn't seem to work?

Weirdly it works on my phone but not my computer!

Thanks Kameron, good to know.  How long after the petition was submitted did they produce this report?  And do you know what their next steps are going to be?

Around 3 weeks I think.

I believe it now moves to Stage 2 - where the location and hours are decided, etc. Depending on how another vote of the residents turns out

Hi everyone, I thought it would be helpful to have an update on the situation with the LBE and where we are at with the CPZ petitions.  We've now had written confirmation from Jonathan Goodson, Head of Traffic and Transportation at the Council that they will take an area-wide, rather than road-by-road approach.  This is his response to my and Jeff's correspondence:

"I can now confirm that the Council intends to proceed with an area-wide CPZ consultation in Bowes amongst its parking scheme work of the coming 2018/19 financial year. This will cover the area indicated on the attached."

And here is a link to the map to which he refers in his email:

This is good news.  If any other roads in the area would like to get a petition going this would only help our case.  

I would just point out one thing:  the 54% support shown on the petition for Kelvin Avenue (my road) is low because we stopped asking for signatures as soon as we hit the threshold needed to get the consultation up and running.  If we had continued the level of support would doubtless have been much higher.

All best,

Ellie 

That's brilliant that they are finally seeing sense with an area-wide approach! Can you try posting the map again? The link seems to be to a file on your computer...

Yes, sorry, I did it quickly.

I've attached it to this message - hope it works this time.

That’s really fantastic news Ellie - thank you.
Could you re-post the map again, it’s still not showing on your post. Thanks

Hi Zeta

It's showing there as far as I can see on the message - it's an attachment at the bottom of the message rather than a link within the body.  I'm afraid I'm not sure how else to attach it!

Ellie 

Thank you for the update. Now that the CPZ zones are outlined does anyone know when & how the area wide consultation mentioned will be undertaken. Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later. With local elections coming up the financial year will quickly pass.....It would be helpful if other roads could arrange petitions as Kelvin and Melbourne did.......
