Barnet Council - virus parking concessions

The above message was sent to Mr Mustard by a Barnet Councillor.

If you are out normally in the day you perhaps don't need a resident permit and these being unusual times you may be working at home and you have to put your car somewhere and you are now safe to park it within a residents bay without using a daily visitor voucher.

By a single yellow for one hour that means that if the single yellow only operates from say 10-11am you can park on it. It doesn't mean you can park for one hour on a single yellow line that operates from 10am to 5pm.

Please park sensibly and don't use more than your necessary and fair share of the available bays, you aren't going to have a party at home at this time so you shouldn't be inviting three friends round for a game of poker and annoying the people who normally park at home by taking all of the spare spaces. If the concession is abused it will doubtless be withdrawn. Please only park within the bays of the residential area in which you live, you shouldn't be making journeys to other areas unless you are an essential worker.

Please don't park on the school zig zags as schools may still be operating, stay well away from zebra crossing markings, don't block dropped kerbs or park on double yellow lines or in bus stops as PCNs are still being issued at those locations.

Please park sensibly, don't obstruct the road as ambulances need to get through nor park partially or fully on the pavement unless there is a marked bay.

When necessary Mr Mustard has in the past visited motorists at home in order to assist them. He isn't going anywhere for now so we'll have to communicate by post or electronically for at least a few weeks.

Yours frugally

Mr Mustard
