The operating hours of the Lodge Drive car park in Palmers Green are to be extended, probably from this weekend. Cars will be able to enter up until 11.30pm and leave at any time.
The failure to extend the car park's operating hours - something promised as part of the Cycle Enfield project - was raised at the September meeting of the Palmers Green Ward Forum. In an email to attendees sent out today, Councillor Mary Maguire wrote:
Please also note that following the September ward forum I raised the issue of the early closure of Lodge Drive car park. It has now been agreed to extend the Lodge Drive car park opening times to enable entry up to 11.30pm. Anyone will be able to exit after those hours as the bollards will lower automatically when customers exit and then rise again. The signs should be in place by this weekend.
The only concern is whether this will generate complaints about noise and potential ASB late into the evenings, so we will keep the situation under review.
The next Palmers Green Ward Forum will take place on 30th November at 7.30pm at the Ruth Winston Centre.
