Haringey Suspends Parking Restrictions for the Duration of the Crisis
If I'm reading today's council briefing right, Haringey is no longer enforcing on-street parking restrictions in order to allow emergency health workers etc to move around more easily. I predict mayhem on the Ladder.

This is the correct decision, If people are working from home or like me have had to stop working then they don't need their cars. If you need to food shop that's essential. If you are a key worker or someone helping others who might be isolated you need to be able to deliver necessary produce to those who really need it. Also spare a thought for the parking attendants who should also be at home. Well done Haringey if this is official ,or Shame on you if it isn't. My opinion only.

It's been great for my daughter dropping off supplies to me ...I was running out of residents parking permits. I'm very pleased.

Got this from Cllr Liz Morris this morning
Haringey Council has made adjustments to parking enforcement to support essential NHS and police staff, as well as residents that have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. From Monday 23 March the council will suspend enforcement of on street residential, shared use and permit parking bays.
However, in order to ensure that road users, vulnerable residents and those providing an essential services are kept safe, the council will continue to enforce yellow lines, footway parking, disabled parking bays, business bays, doctors bays and pay by phone bays. The council will also continue to remove vehicles that park illegally on yellow lines, on the footway or in those parking bays.
This means that key workers, and residents may use any of Haringey's on street residential, shared use and permit parking bays.
The council will need to monitor those arrangements daily to ensure that demand does not exceed capacity in those bays and have acknowledged that changes may need to be made at short notice and this may include resuming normal enforcement.
Should you face additional parking pressures on your road or in your area due to these changes, please do let us know as soon as possible so that we can report this to the council.

I doubt there will be chaos. With all the restaurants closed and commuting down I can’t see a huge amount of extra parking

This week my road has been worse than ever, with people double parking and blocking entrances etc. while they load up with supplies. But I guess you're right.

Double parking will always be enforced. Even when not off parking restrictions
Especially if it causes obstruction and access for others
But with Haringey's ever growing population
With more vehicles than Parking Bays. There will always be issues
Especially as many delivery drivers, working from home with commercial vehicles
Hopefully the council will be putting up Advisory Warning notices about Parking Changes

We have suspended parking restrictions so key workers can get to work more safely. Health workers, teachers, shopworkers, council staff, binmen, carers and all the people who are so vital to help others need one less thing to worry about right now. I am very pleased we have done this. This terrible pandemic should make us rethink lots of policies and priorities.

Hi Zena
Could you please talk us through the Council's plan to remove residents' parking on the header roads along Green Lanes?
Where did the idea come from and what are the justifications for it?
Many thanks.

I know it’s not your personal responsibility, Zena. But I too would be grateful for any light you can cast on the Council’s decision on this. It seems so retrograde.

I agree. On one hand the council says it wants less traffic pollution and on the other it seems to want to encourage driving into the borough. It feels like the shadowy hand of the Green Lanes traders at work again. Is there a way forwards where traders and residents could find mutually beneficial solutions? We always seem to be at odds, when the relationship should be mutually beneficial.
