Following the publication of Haringey Council's recommendations for a controlled
parking zone (CPZ) around Highgate Tube station, the area's Liberal Democrat
councillors are seeking assurances that Haringey Council will consult fully at
the second, statutory stage of the consultation process to ensure that the
views of local residents are fully heard.
The result of the first stage of the consultation has indicated strong
support for controls in Priory Gardens, but that residents in Shepherd's
Hill and Shepherd's Close did not wish to be included in a CPZ.
In addition, a smaller majority of residents were in favour of parking controls in a
number of streets on the other side of the Archway Road. The Council has
also received a number of representations from adjacent streets, expressing
concerns that they should be included in the zone, should it get the
go-ahead.
Liberal Democrat leader and Highgate councillor Neil Williams,
says that these streets must be the subject of a full consultation before
any decision to include them within the zone takes place.
Cllr Neil Williams comments:
"I recognise that the Council has had enough support to proceed to the
second stage of consultation, and I welcome the fact that they have been
willing to exclude two roads that clearly said 'no' to the proposals.
"I also recognise that many residents just outside the initial consultation
area have said they want their views to be heard. If they are to be
included in any zone, they should also be the subject of a full
consultation, and we will be pressing Haringey Council to ensure this is done in
a thorough way."
