Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
The real reason for the CPZ price increase
And then one with no permit at all.
And another.
And... another...
And this one.
Not to mention these two.
After that, I was home. Just how much of this is going on?
Are you happy to pay the increased CPZ charges when some residents are not and that the increased price will lead to more residents adopting this kind of behaviour? I suspect that a third of vehicles parked in Harringay between 6pm and 8am do not have a CPZ permit.
Dear council, please address this issue. Please.

What John is saying is that residens pay good money to park where they live. If you come home after 6:30 pm when the CPZ ends, you will have nowhere to park. Because all the spaces are taken up by people who arrive after 6:30, and park for free. A lot of car owners in the area need their cars for work, and so will come home after 6:30 on a fairly regular basis, and will have nowhere to park, but they still have to pay. What is wrong with extending the CPZ to 10:00 pm to ensure residents get a little more value for money when it comes to parking? It was only changed to 6:30 a few years back, I believe it used to be 8 or 8:30? And it's a lot harder to park in the evenings now as a result. Put it back to the way it was!

It think the others have their heads in a legal book which describes a CPZ. The surplus from the parking account, which as a CPZ permit holder I pay into, is used to pave all roads in the borough and to pay for all Freedom Passes. It looks like a tax, smells like a tax, feels like a tax. Get your heads out of the books boys and think about what's fair for residents.

I agree with Nick, Gordon, Anette and John.
I've lived car(e)lessly for 67yrs158dys and was very happy to vote for our CPZ back at the turn of the millennium. I understood this would help ease the crazy parking situation between the OAE Residence and Harringay Rly Stn, up to 10.00pm Mon-Fri and up to 6.30pm at weekends.
Under the Benign Reign of His Serene Highness Brain Healy some easement of our CPZ Regime was thought a bright idea, circa 2007. Consultation followed in two parts. On a 5.3% Response to Part 1 and an 8.4% Response to Part 2 His SH--BH declared our CPZ Regime amended with reduced hours. Assured by His SH-- that this was an exceptionally high response for Haringey Consultations, like a good democrat I went along with this 6.85% expression of the Will of the People.
Now that my "footway" is being taken over again by 'Baby on Board' 4x4s (yes, off-road on-pavement yummy vehicles), and since my Eastern European neighbour has returned to his serial pavement car sales (MG/Merc/VW Vans specialism), maybe it's time for a 24/7 CPZ.
Fortunately my friends & family have stopped visiting me since they rumbled my 200% markup on Haringey's Visitors' Permits. Buggers expected me to pay for their bloody permits.
