Ark Pioneer Academy, EN5 - review of existing single yellow lines
Overview
In Barnet, there are roads where parking is limited or not allowed. Single and double yellow lines operate during specified times and days, and form part of these parking restrictions.
Following concerns raised by residents about non-residential parking in the area surrounding Ark Pioneer Academy, the council is proposing to review the parking restrictions.
The existing single yellow line restrictions were introduced in the area around Underhill Football Club as a safety measure to control parking on match days. The roads included in the area were:
- Barnet Lane
- Fairfield Way (northern section between the junctions of Westcombe Drive and Barnet Hill)
- Westcombe Drive
The football stadium became an educational skills centre and has now been replaced by The Ark Pioneer Academy. The Ark Pioneer Academy opens from Monday to Friday 8am-4pm.
What we are proposing
To address resident concerns, we are reviewing the operational days and times of the waiting restrictions (single yellow lines) in the area to address the local parking issues.
We are also proposing to introduce double yellow lines on junctions and bends to enhance road safety.
Alongside this engagement, we have also engaged the services of an external agency to carry out parking stress surveys on the roads in the area. This will help determine whether any changes may be required to improve parking opportunities for residents and businesses as well as accessibility and road safety.
We have provided more information below:
