Update on Arnos Grove CPZ
In August/September 2024 Enfield Council consulted residents on a proposed extension to the existing Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) covering a range of streets around Arnos Grove tube station, referred to as 'Arnos Grove CPZ - Proposed Extension'.
We heard from 960 people about the proposals, and the report which summarises the feedback can be read here.
Having considered the responses received, the Council has decided to make a series of amendments to the proposal. More details are included in the report but key changes proposed are:
- Remove from scope the series of streets in the 'North East' area in response to residents views that this was not necessary.
- For those streets that remain in scope, review the proposed timings and rather than the proposed Monday - Sunday 8am - 7.30pm, retain the existing single hour of operation, Monday to Friday only.
- Provide clarification that any exclusions to access permits would only apply to those homes where planning conditions state that residents would not have access to permits.
The Council has listened to residents and amended the proposals in light of the feedback received. The next steps are to move to a more formal statutory consultation, where residents and businesses will have a further opportunity to have their say. This is expected to take place later this Spring.
The Council remains committed to Controlled Parking Zones as an important approach for managing car parking demand. CPZs help ensure that parking is allocated fairly, balancing the needs of residents, businesses, and essential services while also reducing congestion and encouraging sustainable transport.
We would like to thank everyone who took part in the engagement opportunity on the proposed CPZ extension in the Arnos Grove area.
