There are more cars than parking spaces on our roads and every council has to try and tackle the problems that this causes. Waltham Forest like most other London boroughs has areas of restricted parking areas called Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs).
CPZs give parking priority to local residents, visitors and businesses whilst reducing commuter parking and congestion. We maintain and enforce Waltham Forests CPZs and parking restrictions, and deliver services in line with the council’s key parking objectives:
prioritise the parking needs of local residents, disabled people, suppliers of goods and services, businesses, and their customers
seek to reduce car commuting into the borough where alternatives exist
ensure the safe and efficient flow of traffic, particularly for vulnerable and priority road users
reduce the environmental and visual impacts of traffic and parking, particularly in sensitive areas
ensure that parking regulations are firmly and fairly enforced
In addition to keeping Waltham Forest moving, the revenue generated from all parking charges is spent on road safety schemes and concessionary fares, such as the London Taxi-card scheme, that benefits the elderly and the disabled.
