Update on the Palmers Green East CPZ

In August/September 2024 Enfield Council consulted residents on a proposed Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) covering the set of streets bounded by Green Lanes, Hedge Lane, New River and Hazelwood Lane, referred to as 'Palmers Green East CPZ'.

We heard from 975 people about the proposals, and the report which summarises the feedback can be read here.

Given the responses received, the Council has decided not to proceed with the implementation of the proposed CPZ.

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.

Given the area’s proximity to the town centre, parking pressures may continue to evolve, and if concerns arise in the future, we will consider potential CPZ options. Any future proposals will not be considered any earlier than the start of Financial Year 26/27. Furthermore, any future proposals are likely to include adjustments to the roads covered and the times of operation to better reflect local needs.

We would like to thank everyone who took part in the engagement opportunity on the proposed CPZ in the Palmers Green East area.
