Gathering information and informing the wider community

Learning from past consultations of CPZ’s not far from the current proposals, and given the fact that this is a ‘summer holiday consultation’, and taking into account that consultation leaflets did not reach over 60% of people, we conclude that this consultation is aimed to exclude a lot of people who will be greatly effected by the proposals!

Consultation leaflets DO NOT TELL PEOPLE THE TRUTH on why the scheme is introduced and consulted on, nor does it tell us the true impact it will have, financially, socially or parking wise! So our first port of call is to:

• Inform people what is going on, and provide truthful information on the effect the CPZ would have on their lives.
• Encourage everyone to form an informed view, whatever that may be.
• Encourage all to part take by responding to the consultation and expressing their views!

Can we trust the results of a severally flawed consultation?

In lower Stroud Green Haringey have managed to imposed a CPZ, despite opposing majority! When asked about the result of the consultation, by a local councillor, officers said the majority wanted it. But we found evidence that states other wise. We also discovered that this going on is not unique and that in other places people had to recount consultation forms to discover that forms which where very much in opposition, where counted as a Yes vote.

If we can’t trust Haringey’s consultation process it is a priority that we find out what people want ourselves. Encourage and help people to fill in the official consultation form. Doing so will ensure we have independent and extensive information which is accurate and inclusive!

Our survey forms are simple but will give us valuable information like

• Did people get a consultation leaflet
• What are their views on the proposal
• Do they have parking problem?
• Do they wish to have a CPZ in their street / area
• How many cars they own

Writing to your MP and local councillors

Tell your elected representative your views. Writing to your local councillors as they looking to gage public opinion. However it is not our local councillors that we have to apply pressure on, but rather the councillors who will make the decision! Getting our local councillors on board is useful for the same reason that they too can apply pressure on the decision makers to follow a democratic process.
