Controlled Parking Zones update: October 2006

Date: 10-Oct-06 by charles dean


Starting on 30 October, Quadrant Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) has new all-day controls operating from 8.30am - 6.30pm Monday to Friday. The existing match-day parking arrangements will continue when events are held at the Emirates Stadium.

When consulted in January 2006, 55 per cent of respondents supported the introduction of a daytime CPZ with 49 per cent wanting all-day parking controls and 29 per cent favouring operating hours between 10am - 2pm.

For enquiries about obtaining parking permits or visitors' vouchers, please call permits section on 020 7527 1338.

Elsewhere in the borough reviews of the St George's North, St George's South, Tollington West and Junction South CPZs will take place throughout October and into November.

Currently, St George's North and South CPZs have all-day controls Monday to Friday, Tollington West has controls 10am - 2pm and Junction South controls operate 10am - 12noon.

Cllr Lucy Watt, Executive Member for Environment, Islington Council said: "We want residents to tell us their views. Parking is an issue that affects everybody and it's important that we get the controls right.

The reviews are an opportunity for people to tell us how they think things are working and to make any fine tuning that's necessary."
