Overview

In Barnet, like many other local authorities, we have a system of parking bays and parking permits that prioritises parking for local residents, businesses, and their visitors. These systems are called Controlled Parking Zones (CPZ).

We have adopted a systematic approach to delivering CPZ’s, incorporating a set of parameters for parking controls which means they should:

  • avoid a piecemeal approach (kicking the issue to the next street)
  • address anticipated displacement proactively
  • address safety concerns such as sightline issues
  • be as simple as possible and harmonised – intuitive.

The existing Golders Green (H) Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) was first introduced on 4th September 1997, with amendments made in subsequent years. The CPZ, as detailed on the plan below, operates from Monday to Friday, between:

  • 11am and 12noon on the west side, and
  • 10am and 5pm on the east side.


What we are proposing

To ensure the CPZ is still meeting the needs of all residents, business owners and visitors, we are undertaking a parking engagement about the current operational days and times to determine whether any changes may be required to the Golders Green (H) CPZ.

We have already been made aware that some residents of St George’s Road want an extension to the operating times of the CPZ to include Saturday and Sunday between 6pm and 8pm in their road. If agreed, traffic may become displaced into neighbouring roads.

This parking engagement will enable officers to get a clearer understanding of any parking issues that may be happening in these roads. As part of this data gathering exercise, we have also engaged the services of an external agency to carry out parking stress surveys on the roads in the proposed extension 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.
