Parking Charge Increases - Green Lanes up to £3 per hour

Haringey Council's cabinet rubber stamped plans to raise pay and display parking charges by 114 per cent which would see some shoppers pay £3 an hour to park - an increase from the previous £1.40. Parking permits in controlled parking zones will also increase by up to 60 per cent.

Parking bays in Crouch End, Green Lanes and Muswell Hill - all dubbed 'high usage' areas by the council - will see motorists paying the highest costs to park of £3 an hour.

Residents paying £15 a year for parking permits will see the cost rise to £20, those paying £30 will pay £50, those paying £60 will pay £95 and those with gas guzzling vehicles paying £90 will now pay £150.

Visitors' and business permits will also increase, while the cost of placing a skip on the street will rise by 75 per cent to £70.
