In response to the lack of consultation from Haringey Council, local Liberal Democrat councillors in Stroud Green have launched their own survey to ask residents about the future of parking in their area.

The launch of the survey comes after news that Haringey Council are stalling over plans to review the Finsbury Park Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ). This means that residents in roads such as Granville Road and Mountview Road, that have been affected by parking pressure created by the new Crouch End CPZ extension, will have you wait up to two years for any action.

Cllr Richard Wilson (Stroud Green) comments:

“Local residents were promised four years ago that the local CPZ would be reviewed. Now that the Crouch End CPZ is causing further parking problems in the area it is even more urgent. Yet Haringey Council has said this is not a priority and we will have to wait until 2010/11 before any action is taken.

“I hope that local residents will take part in our survey so we can show Haringey Council the support we have for action now.Anyone wanting an extra copy should contact me or Lynne Featherstone directly.”

Lynne Featherstone MP adds:

“This is another example of Labour Haringey Council ignoring local residents. Luckily, Stroud Green has active Liberal Democrat councillors who are stepping in to consult on parking problems.

“If local people get involved in the survey, it will be something the the Council can ignore no longer.”
