Harringey have just informed me about the CPZ they are introducing outside my flat.
Hooray! I thought. No more football visitors taking up all the parking on the street.
But oh no. I have to pay £25 per year for the privilege of parking between 10am-12pm Monday - Friday.
I doubt very much that Blythwood Road is used by commuters to park and ride their way into town ... certainly when I look out of my window on your average morning there’s plenty to space outside ... and it practically welcomes Aresenal fans to come and park there on match days.
This is tantamount to a tax per car for the residents. Utter crap!

The only consolation is that in the 6 months I've lived here I've never seen a Haringey traffic warden, but the Islington side of SGR seems to be crawling with them as they head down to their HQ near the station.
What I do know is that with the HE (Hillrise East) CPZ coming into activation today, my road is now half full/empty.
