The general effect of the Free Order and the Charged-For Order will be to make permanent the provisions of The Barnet (Free Parking Places, Loading Places, Waiting, Loading and Stopping Restrictions) (Amendment No.258) (Experimental)Order 2025 and The Barnet (Charged-for Parking Places) (Amendment No. 166) (Experimental) Order 2025, which came into operation on Monday 24th February 2025.

In order to deter all-day commuter-type parking from taking place in certain lengths of road surrounding the Ryecroft Crescent EN5 area thus improving resident parking opportunity and reducing traffic congestion in those roads, the Council consider that it will be beneficial to introduce a scheme, on an experimental basis that will extend the Barnet Hospital ‘BH’ Controlled Parking Zone in roads listed under schedule 1 below.

1. The general effect of the Charged-for Parking Places Order will be to:

(a) introduce resident permit holders only ‘Past this point’ parking areas in the roads listed in Schedule 1 to this Notice.

(b) provided that the resident permit holders only ‘Past this point’ parking areas referred to in (b) above will operate between 8am and 6.30pm Monday to Saturday, during which motorists will be required to have a valid ‘BH’ permit associated with their vehicle or have a ‘BH’ visitor voucher displayed in their vehicle to be parked in the ‘Past this point’ parking area.

(c) provided that vehicles displaying a valid disabled blue badge or motorcyclists will be able to park in the parking places and ‘Past this point’ areas during their controlled periods without need to display a permit or voucher.

2. The general effect of the Free Parking Places, Loading Places, Waiting, Loading and Stopping Restrictions Order will be to on an experimental basis introduce ‘At any time’ waiting restrictions on certain lengths of Brett Road, Ryecroft Crescent, Raebarn Gardens, West Close, Farm Close, Hackforth Close and St Peters Close.

3. In order to provide a parking facility to disabled blue badge holders, the general effect of the Free Order will be to provide under an experimental basis two general disabled parking bays for use by motorists in their vehicles who display both a valid disabled blue badge outside No.24a Ryecroft Crescent EN5.

Loading will be permitted in parking places referred to in 1 above, and on waiting restrictions referred to in 2 above, for up to 40 minutes provided that the loading/unloading activity was seen to be actively taking place.

Permits and vouchers currently cost as follows:
