I’ve now been informed about the Council’s timeline for expanding the Stroud Green Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) north from Ridge Road into Nelson, Inderwick, Mayfield, Denton and Uplands Roads as well as the remaining part of Weston Park. Below is what I’ve received from the Council officers in charge of the project:
Programme of implementation for Crouch End A and Stroud Green CPZ
I am writing to inform you that Councillor Canver has approved the attached delegated report recommending the extension of the Crouch End A and Stroud Green CPZ to the agreed roads within your wards, as per statutory notification.
Please refer to the following key milestones for the delivery of these extensions.
- Drafting and printing of works notice: Finalised by 1 November
- Distribution of works notices to community: 1-3 November
- Publication of Notice of Making: 3 November
- Start of site works: 7 November
- Go live date for extensions: 12 December
I’ve been pressing the Council to implement the extension as quickly as possible – because many residents are telling me that the parking situation is getting worse and worse, and making life increasingly difficult.

Council officers have revealed the results of the consultation to extend the Stroud Green Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) into the vale roads north of Ridge Road. 54% of respondents were in favour of the expansion with 42% against (and 4% unsure). There were 186 responses.
The Council’s consultation on whether or not to extend resident’s parking controls into the Hornsey Vale area closes in the next few days. Therefore, I’m urging all residents on the affected roads to have their say on this controversial issue.
Local residents have set up a public meeting at 7pm tomorrow (Friday 20th) night in the Hornsey Vale Community Centre on Mayfield Road to demand action on local parking problems. Ever since the Crouch End Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) was extended east to Ferme Park Road residents have been complaining that parking has become very difficult in streets just outside the extended Zone.
The big freeze last winter left many of our roads and pavements treacherous. The Council say they don’t have the resources to grit residential roads, and there is only a handful of grit bins – so local residents can’t make them safe either.
Since I started highlighting the lack of grit bins in Stroud Green, I’ve had a dozen requests from local residents to get a bin installed in their road. In fact, residents of Woodstock Road and Denton Road pointed out that their roads used to have a grit bin but the Council took it away a few years ago.
