Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
'Unfair' parking fines system should be overhauled
Road signs should be simplified, any profit returned to the Treasury and motorists should be compensated if they are given an incorrect penalty notice.
In addition, the number of mobile CCTV operators should be reduced and investigations should be held into areas where fines are “statistically excessive”.
The recommendations appeared in a parking manifesto by the Drivers’ Alliance, the Motorists’ Legal Challenge Fund and the London Motorists’ Action Group.

It'll never happen.
“Parking restrictions are in place to keep people safe on our streets, stop traffic jams and keep roads clear for the emergency services."
Haringey's CPZ must be broken...
“The money councils get from parking fines is reinvested in improving the local transport network. If people do not want to get a parking ticket, they should not park illegally.”
I don't think people intend on parking illegally and obfuscated parking signs don't make things easier. Make the signs clear and you'll have a reduction in the number of parking fines issued.

Why, if money from parking fines is to be spent on improvements to parking facilities, as it should be, and improving the local transport network - how, exactly ?, do Haringey lamp-post banners say the money goes to road safety education in schools ?
Laudable, certainly, but not what it's supposed to be used for.

If only Haringey had been prepared to listen to Neil Herron we'd have made a start in correcting our faulty parking lines & signs at least a year earlier. Instead we got Brian Haley's stubborn silence and officers' obfuscation.
