NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Council of the London Borough of Barnet have made on 13th March 2025 the abovementioned 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 roads situated in the Totteridge and Whetstone area, thus improving resident parking opportunities and reducing traffic congestion in those roads, the Council consider that it will be beneficial to introduce, on an experimental basis, that will extend the Totteridge and Whetstone ‘TW’ Controlled Parking Zone in the roads listed at schedule 1, 2, 3 and 4 below.
The general effect of the Charged-for Parking Places Order will be to:
(a) introduce parking places for the use of residents and their visitors in the roads listed in Schedule 1 to this Notice.
(b) provide that the parking places referred to in (a) above will operate between 2pm and 3pm Monday to Friday, during which motorists will be required to have a valid ‘TW’ resident’s permit associated with their vehicle, or have a ‘TW’ visitor voucher displayed in their vehicle, to be entitled to park in the parking places.
(c) introduce resident permit holders only ‘Past this point’ parking areas in the roads listed in Schedule 3 to this Notice.
(d) provide that the resident permit holders only ‘Past this point’ parking areas referred to in (c) above will operate between 2pm and 3pm Monday to Friday, during which motorists will be required to have a valid ‘TW’ permit associated with their vehicle or have a TW visitor voucher displayed in their vehicle in order to park in the ‘Past this point’ parking area.
(e) introduce resident permit holders only ‘Past this point’ parking areas in the roads listed in Schedule 3 to this Notice.
(f) provide that the resident permit holders only ‘Past this point’ parking areas referred to in (e) above will operate between 2pm and 3pm Monday to Friday, during which motorists will be required to have a valid ‘TW’ and ‘TW2’ permit associated with their vehicle or have a ‘TW’ and ‘TW2’ visitor voucher displayed in their vehicle in order to park in the ‘Past this point’ parking area.
(g) introduce ‘pay by phone’ charged-for parking places with a maximum stay of 2 hours in Naylor Road N20, Bawtry Road N20 and Swan Lane N20.
(h) provide that the parking places referred to in (g) above will operate between 8am and 6.30pm Monday to Saturday, during which motorists will be required to pay the requisite parking charge by phone or other means. As a result of the introduction of the parking places being introduced on street referred to in (g) above lengths of waiting restrictions operating 8am to 6.30pm Monday to Saturday at those locations will be revoked.
(i) provide that vehicles displaying a valid disabled badge or motorcyclists will be able to park in the parking places and ‘Past this point’ areas during their controlled operation without need to display a parking permit or parking voucher.

- Up to 15 minutes: £0.57
- Up to 30 minutes: £1.06

(f) formalise the introduction of certain lengths of ‘At any time’ waiting restrictions situated opposite Swan Court – Swan Lane N20, and at the junction of Swan Lane with High Road N20. As a result of the waiting restrictions at the junction of Swan Lane being introduced lengths of waiting restrictions operating 7am to 7pm Monday to Saturday will be removed.
