Underhill South Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ)
Barnet Council is reviewing the Underhill South Controlled Parking Zone following resident opposition.
Residents voiced strong opposition to the Underhill South Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ), a policy proposing parking restrictions from 8 am to 6:30 pm Monday to Saturday, at a Barnet Council meeting in March 2026. A deputation questioned the scheme's proportionality and the evidence base for its implementation, stating that 61% of affected residents opposed it. Barnet Council is reviewing the scheme.
The deputation also argued in March 2026 that Barnet Council provided no evidence justifying the parking restrictions. They highlighted that parking surveys failed to track user types and their duration and timing patterns, and that non-zonal hospital staff permits prevented the council from proving specific commuter demand.
