THE BARNET (CHARGED FOR PARKING PLACES)

(AMENDMENT NO.166) (EXPERIMENTAL) ORDER 2025

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Council of the London Borough of Barnet have made on 13th February 2025 the above-mentioned Orders under Section 9 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and all other enabling powers.

In order to deter all-day commuter-type parking from taking place in certain lengths of road surrounding the Ryecroft Crescent EN5 area thus improving resident parking opportunity and reducing traffic congestion in those roads, the Council consider that it will be beneficial to introduce a scheme, on an experimental basis that will extend the Barnet Hospital ‘BH’ Controlled Parking Zone in roads listed under schedule 1 below.

1. The general effect of the Charged-for Parking Places Order will be to:

   (a) introduce resident permit holders only ‘Past this point’ parking areas in the roads listed in Schedule 1 to this Notice.

   (b) provided that the resident permit holders only ‘Past this point’ parking areas referred to in (b) above will operate between 8am and 6.30pm Monday to Saturday, during which motorists will be required to have a valid ‘BH’ permit associated with their vehicle or have a ‘BH’ visitor voucher displayed in their vehicle to be parked in the ‘Past this point’ parking area.

   (c) provided that vehicles displaying a valid disabled blue badge or motorcycles will be able to park in the parking places and ‘Past this point’ areas during their controlled periods without need to display a permit or voucher.

2. The general effect of the Free Parking Places, Loading Places, Waiting, Loading and Stopping Restrictions Order will be to on an experimental basis introduce ‘At any time’ waiting restrictions on certain lengths of Brett Road, Ryecroft Crescent, Raebarn Gardens, West Close, Farm Close, Hackforth Close and St Peters Close.
3. In order to provide a parking facility to disabled blue badge holders, the general effect of the Free Order will be to provide under an experimental basis two general disabled parking bays for use by disabled motorists who display both a valid disabled blue badge and their vehicles on Ryecroft Crescent EN5.

Loading will be restricted in the parking places referred to in 1 above, and on waiting restrictions where loading is seen to be actively taking place.

Permits and vouchers currently cost as follows:

Permit and voucher charges are subject to review and change.

The Orders provide that, in pursuance of section 10(2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, the Chief Executive of the Council or some person authorised in that behalf by him, may, if it appears to him essential in the interests of the expeditious, convenient and safe movement of traffic or for preserving or improving the amenities of the area through which any road affected by the Orders run, modify or suspend the operation of the Orders or any provision thereof.

A copy of the Orders, which will come into operation on Monday 24th February 2025, a plan of the relevant areas and the Council’s Statement of Reasons for making the Orders can be obtained for a period of 6 months from the date on which this notice is published by emailing parking.consultations@barnet.gov.uk or by writing to the Design Team, Highways Section, 3rd Floor, 2 Bristol Avenue, Colindale, London NW9 4EW, quoting reference: TMO 2025_01 and TMO 2025_02.

Any person wishing to question the validity of the Orders or any of its provisions on the grounds that they are not within the relevant powers of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 or that any of the relevant requirements thereof or of any regulation made there-under have not been complied with in relation to the Orders may within six weeks of the date on which the Orders were made, make application for the purpose to the High Court.

If the provisions of the Orders continue in operation for a period of not less than six months, the Council will consider in due course whether the provisions of the Orders should be reproduced and continued in force indefinitely. Anyone who wishes to object to the making of such Orders for the purpose of such reproduction and continuation in force may, within the period of six months from the date on which the Orders came into operation, send a statement in writing of their objection and the grounds thereof to Design Team, 2 Bristol Avenue, Colindale, London, NW9 4EW or via email to parking.consultations@barnet.gov.uk.
