Estate parking consultation

We need to make changes to the way we manage parking on estates because:

Government legislation on how councils can manage parking has changed. This means our currentarrangements for privately managed enforcement are not effective.
the current scheme is over 20 years old and needs to be modernised to allow the council to manage estate parking more effectively

From mid-March 2025 the council will be inviting housing tenants and leaseholders to give their feedback on the rollout of new parking arrangements on estates.

What will be new and different?

funding: We intend to change the way we fund parking management by introducing charges for estate parking permits and visitor permits. The new scheme will follow the principle that those tenants who benefit from car parking will need to contribute towards its provision. Charges for estate resident permits will be on a sliding scale so that the more polluting your vehicle is, the more you pay.
more effective enforcement: Haringey Council’s parking enforcement team – the same civil enforcement officers that manage parking on-street – will take over from Wings Security. They will have increased powers:
- to issue penalty charge notices (parking tickets) take more effective action against rogue parking by people who don’t live on the estate – including having powers to tow away this and other nuisance vehicles to take effective action
- take effective action against parking fraud, permit tampering, abandoned vehicles and car dealers
more flexibility: we will be able to offer more flexible times and review provision of parking spaces
more support for greener travel: more cycle parking and electric charging points if you’d like to see them
one permit per household: parking space is limited on estates, so every household will only be able to buy one estate resident parking permit. If you have more than one vehicle in your household, you will need to buy a permit to park on neighbouring streets not part of the estate.
paperless permits: you will be expected to apply online for a virtual estate parking permit, as is the case for on-street parking. In exceptional circumstances, you may be able to apply in person for paper permits at the council’s customer service but, over time, the expectation is that you have a virtual permit.

Cost to residents

To cover the costs of the scheme, vehicle owners will be asked to pay from 14 pence a day to park – the bigger and more polluting your vehicle's engine the more you’ll pay.

Blue Badge holders and carers will be able to park for free.

Have your say

We have worked closely with our Resident Voice Board on designing this engagement process and encourage our residents to get involved

We are running borough-wide engagement over 10 phases, organised by geographical area, so we can understand how best to organise parking at local level. We will be asking for your views on improvements like:

new loading bays
motorcycle bays
disabled bays
cycle parking
electric vehicle charging points

We are engaging first with estates close to Tottenham Stadium because they are heavily affected by parking during events held at the stadium.

The sooner we get feedback, the sooner we can take action. If you live on any of the following Haringey Estates, please be sure to share your feedback:

Northumberland Park Ward

Arundel Court
Ashdowne Court
Baldewyne Court
Clements House (sheltered)
Concord House/ Coombes House
Coombes House (sheltered)
Cooperage Close/The Lindales
Fiske Court
Lancaster Close
Lansdowne Road
Northumberland Park
Northumberland Park (no.127)
Scotswood Walk
Stellar/Altair
St Mary's Close
Trulock Court
Whitbread Close
Thornley Close

Bruce Castle Ward

Tenterden/Headcorn/Gretton*
Church Road
James Place/Church Road
Love Lane Estate
Millicent Fawcett Court

The deadline for feedback for the above is midnight on Sunday, 27 April 2025.

We expect the new scheme to be in place for these estates by early 2026.

We will deliver a printed pack with a brochure, questionnaire and covering letter to all relevant households, phase by phase and will be holding drop-in sessions in local venues so that you meet our team. We will also put up posters on noticeboards and banners in car parks and provide updates on this page and in Homes Zones to let you know when it is your turn to comment.

Background

We are making changes to parking management following consultations in 2019 and 2020, and the decision to bring the housing service back to the council in 2022.

For information about on-street parking in Haringey outside of your estate, including information about Controlled Parking Zones please see our Parking pages.

This new scheme approved by Haringey Cabinet in January 2024. See minutes of the Cabinet meeting - Amendments to the Estate Parking Management Scheme.
