We have tried to get something done about this for over 15 years and still they are parking quite brazenly in our roads. (We're just round the corner from the offices but they have their own car parks and hey, how about public transport?)

In reply to this post, someone mentioned on Twitter that this order applies only to the Wood Green Inner Zone. Re-reading the order above, I can see that to be the case.
I can see that your road is about the first road beyond the inner zone.
When the outer Wood Green parking zone was established it came just under half way down the Ladder. My road was two roads beyond it. So, for a few years, until the whole of Harringay was covered by the addition of the Green Lanes zones, a lot of people avoided the need to pay the parking charge by parking in the roads just beyond the Wood Green zone. Parking became much more difficult almost overnight.
I fear that you might now experience the same displacement. If it's already bad, that's not good news.
I would have thought that the Council could have drawn up a new area from which to ban council employee parking. Logically that would include roads close to the Council offices. As things stand, your road which is just a couple of hundred metres away from the main council offices is excluded, whilst the rods running off Turnpike Lane, about a kilometre away, are included.
I hope you don't get too badly impacted by displacement parking.

Hi Hugh, I could be wrong (not a motorist) but we have recently voted to change the zone so think we are now in Inner......
The wider angle of this is why the Council isn't doing more to discourage private car use with its staff. Green policy etc.

A good move. I'm surprised they've spent so long defending the right of their staff to drive. I did six months on secondment at Enfield in 2016 (pre-MH consolation prize) and even then was surprised that - despite the two-storey car park attached to the back of the civic centre - parking control was incredibly strict and, as a "contractor", I never once convinced someone to let me park there on the very rare occasion I was hoping to have a quick get away up north on a Friday.
That said, the bike parking facilities were a tiny locked cage in one corner of it that might be best described as a wardrobe, so swings and roundabouts.

Noticed on my visits to Stuart Crescent Medical Centre.
That many of those with Staff Passes have Residential for other Boroughs.
So much for employing Locals within the Borough
