I work strange shifts because of my job and sometimes I get home in the middle of the night and can't even park in the same post code yet alone the same road. The other night I had to park almost in Western Park that is at the bottom of the hill. Also the parking is made more difficult by the knock on effect of the CPZ. More shoppers, even more residents avoiding their own CPZ and of course the plethora of white vans, motor homes (that people live in) and commercial vehicles like tow trucks and 5 tonners. Haringey Council must be most inept council I know and believe me I have dealt and worked for council. There powers of hindsight are akin to a dead parrot and when you ring them up and ask to speak to someone all you get is gibberish and excused that the person you want to talk to "is at a meeting". That is roughly translated to having a fag or a cup of tea. It comes to something when I and my neighbours daren’t even move the car to go shopping or go to the park for instance. I also watched on their car park attendants standing on the corner of Ridge Road and Ferm Park waiting for the clock to turn 10am. I just get the impression that this is just a money making exercise to prop up a council thwart with financial problems (We all remember the Alley Pally problems). Lets face it they can't run Social Services without giving Haringey a bad name so what change have they got with parking? Why oh why didn't some brainless official think of the problems this would cause? I despise councils and CPZ's but Haringey should of done the whole area in one go instead of doing it dribs and drabs. I can guess that a lot of these council employees don’t live in Crouch End and certainly don’t think of the problems they have caused. Perhaps a demo is in order?

The other day I had to park on Stanhope Road as it was the only place within five minutes of my flat.

I’m not a fan of a CPZ (although I suspect I would have been had I lived closer to Highgate Tube).
