Elmhurst Road to Connop Road Controlled Parking Zone
Enfield Council is proposing to introduce a new Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) between the Bullsmoor and Enfield Lock area, within the boundaries of Turkey Street, Elmhurst Road, Connop Road and Turkey Brook.
What is being proposed?
A permit parking scheme is proposed to operate from 9am to 6.30pm, Monday to Sunday to help maximise space for existing zone residents across the week. An overview is shown on the plan in the Document Library to the right.
Why is this needed?
The streets on and around Hertford Road are heavily congested with delivery trucks, shoppers, staff, residents, and commuters all competing for limited on-street parking, making it difficult for residents to find spaces near their homes. This often results in dangerous and obstructive parking, especially in narrow streets with closely spaced houses where domestic demand frequently exceeds capacity.
A permit system can help by deterring parking by station users, tackling obstructive parking at junctions; deterring households with numerous cars or vans taking up excessive space in the street; and clearing out abandoned or seldom-used vehicles.
Permit prices
Resident and visitor permits: Annual permit prices for an all-day parking zone, shown below, are set to ensure that schemes fully cover their operating costs. To be eligible for a resident’s permit you must live in the CPZ and have a vehicle registered at your address. Resident’s permits are limited to three per person. Visitor permits are also available for everyone living in the CPZ.
Business permits: The outline plans do not include bays for business permit holders as there are very few businesses within the CPZ boundary.
Blue Badge Holders and Carers: Blue badge holders living in the zone can apply for their annual permit free of charge. Nurses etc. needing to visit clients within any Enfield Council parking zone can apply for an essential user permit, so the extended controls should not hinder care visits. Visitors providing routine care to family members based in the zone can also apply for an annual permit, as priced below.
Engine size (cc) | 1000 or less | 1001 to 1600 | 1601 to 1999 | 2000 or greater | Book of 10 visitor vouchers |
First permit | £77 | £155 | £230 | £395 | £21 |
