Islington Council are proposing to extend and restrict parking bays across Islington. This will have a massive effect on residents and business. The official consultation can be objected to via the council consultation here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LBI_STADIUM
THE CHANGES AND WHAT THESE MEAN:
- Matchday area – ZoneS E, F, G, H, J, L, N, Q, V & Y. There will not be additional controls on matchdays only anymore. Instead parking will be restricted from 8.30am to 9.00pm every day including Saturdays and Sundays.
- Angel area (Zone B). The council is proposing to extend the hours of operation to 11pm every day including Saturdays and Sundays.
- Finsbury Square and Farringdon Station area (Zone C). Bays will be restricted 24 hours per day Monday to Saturday and 12am to 6am Sundays.
- Whittington Hospital area (Zone K). 24 hours a day every day. FULL TIME.
- Archway regeneration area (Zone Z). Restrictions will be from 8.30am-6.30pm Monday-Friday and 8.30am-1.30pm on Saturdays.
For residents and businesses this will mean:
- That your guests, customers, clients, workmen, etc. will not be able to park outside your home until very late evening if at all.
- If you are in a matchday zone you will be forced to sign up to an online e-account to get visitor permits EVERY TIME you have a visitor. These will be linked to their registration numbers and checked by parking wardens.
- Islington Council plan to covertly monitor how many visitor vouchers each resident uses on matchdays and "take action" to stop you obtaining them if they deem this too many.
- People without internet or those less inclined to use the internet e.g. the very elderly will not be able to obtain free vouchers, as this has to be done online.
- Anybody in surrounding areas will feel the knock on effect of people parking on their bays.
- You will not be able to park in bays (other than your own zone) until very late at night and not on weekends anymore. So if you visit elderly relatives in the evening, or pop to the shops, you won't be able to park outside without a visitor voucher.
- It's worth noting that another borough introduced these free visitor vouchers, like those proposed for the matchday zones and then limited these to only a handful per year! How long til Islington council follows this pattern?

Islington Council continues to ignore the people living here but this massive wave of anger is impossible to hide anymore. We have built real momentum and now these bureaucrats are going to see exactly how many residents are ready to fight back against this parking cash grab.

I oppose to the changes in the CPZ. This would stop family visiting me and stop me visiting family. I have a disabled mother who I need to visit everyday to care for her. The changes in the CPZ would have a severe impact of my basic rights to have a family life.
Totally unnecessary, match day parking restrictions are up to 8.30pm on week days and 4.30pm at the weekends. There are only around 35 events at the stadium a year, why do we need this for 365 days a year? We don't want this.
We are established business in upper street for 30 years and this will effect a lot of our customers who come from all over London, England, UK
I have no problem parking in my road which is VERY close to the stadium, and I deem these extra controls totally mystifying and unnecessary.
Very against the changes to parking restrictions in Islington. If you want a remedy for the parking problem caused by Arsenal matchdays as you suggest this is the reason for changing parking restrictions, make a parking lot specifically for match days i.e. Below the Arsenal stadium. How does increased restrictions help residents or locals, only the council will benefit.
These restaurants is not good is French food but is only Albania people there is big trafic inside old the people come work only one week and live the job not tips you work hard will take less money is to much
Keep it how it is now

This will make life impossible for local businesses and residents. It should NOT be allowed. Arsenal FC should build an underground car park if they require parking or encourage supporters on to public transport (which is the best and most environmentally positive solution)
