Controlled Parking Zone F Review

Hackney Parking Services will be reviewing Controlled Parking Zone F which is bounded by the canal, New North Road, Hackney Road, Goldsmiths Row, Teale Street and Pritchard Road. The Zone crosses three wards in Hackney South and Shoreditch, Hoxton, Haggerston and Queensbridge.

The current hours of operation for parking restrictions are:

• Monday to Friday 7:30am - 6:30pm and
• Saturday 7:30am - 1:30pm

Parking Services are proposing changes to the number of bays in the zone. There are also proposals install double yellow lines on sections of narrow road to increase access and visibility.

If you own a business or if you live within Zone F, you will have received a consultation pack so that you can feed back your comment and concerns as parking controls will affect you whether you drive or not and it will also affect your visitors.

If you want a say on how traffic should be managed, how road safety is improved, long term commuter parking, even non-essential traffic or even parking space allocation, complete the consultation questionnaire and return it in the envelope that accompanies your questionnaire.

Alternatively, you can complete the questionnaire online.

Two drop in sessions will also be held where you can speak to a member of the parking team. The dates and times are:

• Monday 7 June 5pm - 7pm
• Tuesday 8 June 5pm - 7pm

Both sessions will be held at St Mary's Community Hall, Kent Street, E2 8NU.

You can also send your comments by email.

If you have not received a questionnaire or know anyone who has not, you can call 020 835 8877 and request one. Alternatively, you can visit the parking service's website.

Have Your Say: Parking Enforcement

Parking has always been important to Hoxton residents because of its close geographical proximity to the City, the night time economy and transport links.  Councillors are told of concerns about the different parking arrangements that exists between estates and surrounding streets.  We are also aware of the difficulties that family members have when visiting elderly and disabled relatives.

Now you have an opportunity have your say and change parking and enforcement arrangements.  Hackney Council are conducting a review of policies, looking at:

• Parking permits and vouchers for residents, businesses and visitors
• How we enforce parking penalties
• How we prioritise different types of vehicle and motorist
• What we can do to free up parking space
• How we manage parking for motorcycles
• How we consult on controlled parking zones (CPZs)
• How we match the hours of a CPZ to the local area.

All information is available on the council's consultation website and you can have your say here.

changes to parking restrictions

The council will be holding a consultation meeting on Tuesday 10 March at Provost Community Hall.

This will be an opportunity for local residents to help determine parking restrictions. Over the past year Ward Councillors have been lobbying the council to ensure that changes do not result in the loss of parking spaces particularly at weekends, when family are more likely to visit. We have lobbied hard to ensure that roads remain safe while giving residents the maximum opportunity to park legally and a minimal costs. We have also lobbied hard to ensure that your voices and your choices are heard.

In total 200 additional parking spaces will be provided but there will also be a significant loss of spaces. We will continue to fight for more parking but hope that you will add your voice to ours at the upcoming meeting.
