Issue - meetings

(Report of the Director of Place and Sustainability. To be introduced by the Cabinet Member for the Environment). The report seeks agreement, in principle, to move all penalty charges in Haringey Band A and to authorise officers to proceed to London Councils with an application to do so with effect from 1 April 2013.

Cabinet considered a report, presented by the Leader of the Council, which sought approval, in principle, of the need to move all penalty charges in Haringey to Band A and to authorise officers to proceed to London Councils with an application to move all penalty charges to Band A in Haringey from 1 April 2013.

RESOLVED:

1. That Cabinet agreed, in principle, that there was a need to move all penalty charges in Haringey to Band A.

2. That officers be authorised to proceed to London Councils with an application to move all penalty charges to Band A in Haringey from 1 April 2013.

Other Options Considered

It was considered that an application should be made only to move the Tottenham Hotspur Match Day CPZ to Band A. However, it was felt that while this may ease pressure within the CPZ, it could potentially result in displacement and additional pressure elsewhere, and as such achieve no overall improvement in compliance.

Reasons for Decision

To implement measures to help address the underlying problem of non compliance across the borough easing congestion on the road network.
