Haringey Council proposed replacing daily visitor permits with hourly ones, raising costs for residents and prompting significant backlash. Following a consultation where over 3,500 people signed a petition against the change, the council decided to retain daily permits in recognition of their importance to those in Controlled Parking Zones. The revised strategy includes a free parking permit for Blue Badge holders from outside the borough and new business visitor permits to support local businesses, emphasizing the need for policies tailored to community needs.
"Conducting the consultation and acting on the feedback has been crucial in developing a parking system that aligns with the community's needs."
"This decision is a testament to the power of community engagement. By listening to our residents and businesses about their personal experiences, I know we have made the best decisions for our borough."
