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.

My wife has emailed Enfield about the worse parking situation, but no reply as of yet

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.

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.

I met with Councillor Yasemin Brett this morning. Initially she suggested that I petition for a CPZ in my area (Marlborough, Whittington and Russell) but I explained that while that might solve the immediate problem, it would only make the parking worse elsewhere.

I asked if there was a more sensible way to make use of parking resources across the area and she suggested I and other residents meet with Daniel Anderson, who is the cabinet minister in charge of this issue, to see what could be done about coordinating with Haringey.

If anyone else would be interested in such a meeting, please let me know. It would be good to have representatives from the various roads.

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.

Zeta

Thanks Zeta, I'm in the loop with 128 too...
Thanks so much Zeta for suggesting that all roads in this loop are included. I'm from Brownlow and would like to come to the meeting unless anyone else from BR would like to go.

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
