Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse … Martin Newton (councillor for Fortis Green ward) has been doing a survey of parking bays in Muswell Hill and found that many of them don’t meet the rules for how parking bays should be laid out and explained to the public.
Earlier this year we forced Haringey Council to replace confusing and contradictory parking signage – and also to add further stickers to pay-and-display machines to try to explain bewildering restrictions. More recently investigations by Liberal Democrat councillors also uncovered that at five of the seven yellow box junctions enforced by CCTV in Haringey, penalty notices had to be cancelled due to incorrect lines, signs or Traffic Management Orders. And now this!
Given the number of parking scandals involving Haringey Council, you could start to think it’s a conspiracy rather than incompetence. The Labour council leaders need to act soon to resolve faith in our borough’s parking rules.

Good for Martin Newton for doing parking box checks. But he is just following labour coucnillor Alan Stanton who does the same. http://www.flickr.com/photos/alanstanton/sets/72157607309490428/The trouble is that it makes no difference apart from a few people who appeal. ALL local councils – Lab Tory and Liberal – ignore the rules and take our money knowing that most people wont appeal.Have you asked Robert Gorrie to give a pronise from the Haringey libs to repay ALL incorrect parking tickets.

Have you tried referring the Council to the Local Government Ombudsman, or to any other (pseudo)-regulatory body?
