There can be no good reason why we can not have a short amount of free parking time. I refuse to sign up for current parking schem.e

I hate the parking system in Barnet and it does put me off parking there as the system is so frustrating. I like to just put money in a machine and at least have that option.

find it totally unacceptable that we have to use mobiles to pay for parking and there is no other option. What about contactless? Paying by phone is complicated and time consuming and that comes from someone who uses a mobile a lot. does anyone want to explain this system to my parents?!? If I am just popping out to get something now I usually drive to Borehamwood where it is free for 3 hours and has a good selection of retailers. Business there is thriving. I agree parking costs are too high and it should be 2/3 hours free parking not just 1 hour to encourage shoppers. Poor selection of shops putting of customers to the High Street too but feel the units in the Spires need to be larger (a second level in the Spires would help with this) to encourage well known stores, bring back Monsoon and Next!, as well as independent traders. NO more coffee shops/eateries please!!

Paying a lot of money to visit and with few quality shops on offer why would anyone go there at present? The council should be able to disallow tacky plastic shop signage, and encourage quality independent shops rather than garish sell your old gold cheap outlets.

A free period for parking would be a greater incentive to shop for a few things. We are are finding the the Spires increasingly more expensive, so to be able to park in the centre of Barnet for a quick visit would be very welcome.

Councils seem to have no idea how to run town centres...maybe this one can buck the trend?
