Local Liberal Democrats in Crouch End have secured a meeting with parking boss, Labour councillor Brian Haley, in the wake of dozens of inquiries from angry residents embroiled in parking misery. Last week Lib Dem councillors and Lynne Featherstone MP visited residents affected by the parking chaos in Crouch End, caused by the introduction of several new parking zones, to listen to their problems. Lib Dems have notified residents that a meeting between Haringey Council, residents’ associations and representatives of groups from Crouch End will be arranged soon but have vowed to keep up the pressure on Haringey Council to act immediately.

Liberal Democrats remain concerned that adequate funding for parking controls has not been allocated by Haringey Council in this financial year and continue to demand immediate action to alleviate the parking debacle and for Cllr Haley to visit the residents affected.

Cllr Lyn Weber (Crouch End) comments:

“Haringey Council needs to see further than their own noses when implementing parking restrictions. I hope that this meeting will go some way to helping Haringey Council really engage residents’ views to enable the best solution. The Lib Dems are always updating residents with developments, perhaps Haringey Council should too.”

Cllr David Winskill (Crouch End) adds:

“In the meantime, Lib Dem councillors are continuing to demand immediate action and press for CPZ permits for local residents to park in adjacent CPZ zones to help alleviate the pressure in Crouch End’s residential streets.”
