A Community Network for Bowes Park and Bounds Green
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.

I live on Tewkesbury Terrace and was in touch in November with Enfield council about a CPZ consultation. I am about to go door to door to collect signatures from residents. I was told that even if the majority of resident want a consultation, it doesn't necessarily mean it will happen.
Parking on our road is an absolute nightmare & CPZ in Haringey has made it even worse!
The chap I've been in touch with at Enfield is really helpful and I'll happily pass on his details.
Yes of course.

There is a private Facebook group for families in the area called 128 Families and there is a lot of activity on their forum about CPZ too. Jacob is also on that forum so I'm sure we can rally enough interest.

Hi Jacob,
I would be interested in attending a meeting with the Minister.
I agree that any restrictions need to include all roads between Bounds Green Rd and Nth Circ.

The post from Matthew Clark reads
The cars which used to park here are (commuters and dumped vans) are now moving up to the area of Enfield inside the North Circular.
The words chosen have a specific meaning residents can check the Vehicle Reg against the DVLA web site to ascertain whether a VED has been paid for to ascertain whether they have been "dumped" as alleged
Previous evidence was alleged that some were all day parked by commuters. A One hour parking restriction can be applied so that the vehicles can be ticketed
What has happened about Bounds Green CPZ? Are any meetings taking place?
I have been emailing back and forth for the past two months with Councillor Daniel Anderson, who is in charge of this issue for Enfield, in the hopes that he could arrange a meeting with his Haringey counterpart. This meeting has not yet taken place and as far as I know they're is no timetable for it to do so. I suggest you email him directly if you are keen for this meeting to happen - Cllr.daniel.anderson@enfield.gov.uk
Hello all
I saw the new MP for Enfield Southgate, Bambos Charalambous, on Friday afternoon at his surgery. I raised the issue of parking as I live at the Enfield end of Marlborough Road and it's got a lot worse in recent years. Bambos understands the issues we have with parking in the Enfield side of Bowes Park, and the need to consult on a CPZ for this. He is happy to support with this - Jacob, should I put him in touch with you, or Councillor Anderson?
I also mentioned the community association to Bambos and he was interested to hear about their work. Please could someone remind me who the Chair of the BPCA is, and how to contact them. It would also be helpful to know if there is a sub-group of the committee that works on parking.
Thanks
Charlotte
