“ This entire plan does not take into account the needs of those that are unable to walk distances or hills (to the bus stop) and those that live in more rural areas and use the tube from High Barnet to get to work. The station car park is full every morning by 8am. The main roads leading out of Barnet such as St Albans Road (ie the only ones that don't have parking restrictions) are now heavily parked for miles as a result. Unfortunately these roads were not made with this intention and the parking is a danger. Only the other day I was forced to drive partly on the wrong side of the road to get past a mile long of parked cars when a lorry was hurtling towards me with nowhere to pull in. It's only a matter of time before a major accident. It is madness for the Council and Highways to add more parking restrictions as this is not the answer. The problem will just move elsewhere. Multi story parking for both the station and Barnet hospital is what is needed.
The lack of parking is a major issue and particularly effects the vulnerable and disadvantaged. ”
