<p>I just parked knowing it would be free. The first time I did it there happened to be a parking warden there ah the time who acknowledged that it was free for EVs, so I knew it was ok!</p>

<p>Hi KatieH, sorry to bother you but how did you get free parking? I can't see how to do it on the app - did you just park there knowing it would be free or did you use the app at all?</p>

<p>Interesting Pat, thanks - as the LBH website definitely says EV parking is free in 'normal' parking bays I asked Ringo (parking app providers for LBH) in May who said:</p>
<p><span>"I can confirm we have no parking locations shown as free parking for any electric vehicles in the Haringey area."</span></p>
<p>Has anyone tried it?</p>

<p>Yes - I can understand why the Borough uses Source London from a financial point of view, but it makes no sense from any other. And other boroughs don’t seem to have made the same decision which adds to the frustration…</p>

<p>This is one of the key factors in my opposition to borough-wide LTNs: the council is quite ready to make life far more difficult for residents, disabled people and bus users by closing side streets and forcing yet more traffic onto already at-capacity boundary roads, but has produced no comprehensive plan for charging points as an incentive to residents to go electric or evidence of any intention to electrify all their own fleet vehicles.

<p>This is one of the key factors in my opposition to borough-wide LTNs: the council is quite ready to make life far more difficult for residents, disabled people and bus users by closing side streets and forcing yet more traffic onto already at-capacity boundary roads, but has produced no comprehensive plan for charging points as an incentive to residents to go electric or evidence of any intention to electrify all their own fleet vehicles. As always, it’s all stick and no carrot: telling everyone to walk or cycle and get rid of petrol engines is fine, but there have to be alternatives in place first, including charging points and far better public transport. When TfL is savaging the bus network (albeit at the Treasury’s insistence), just replacing a few council park vehicles with cargo bikes while not installing charging points across the whole borough simply doesn’t cut it. If the council wants to change people’s behaviour, they have to lead from the front, not kick from behind.</p>
