Where this operator enforces

What makes Haringey Council different?

Haringey enforces controlled parking zones across Tottenham, Wood Green, Muswell Hill, Hornsey and Crouch End, plus CCTV-monitored school streets and bus lanes.

Haringey has expanded school street enforcement significantly since 2023, using ANPR cameras to restrict vehicle access during school arrival and departure times.

Common contraventions

  • Code 01 - Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours
  • Code 12 - Parked in residents or shared use bay without permit
  • Code 34 - Being in a bus lane

Appeal tips that work for Haringey Council

  • For school street PCNs, check whether your vehicle qualifies for an exemption (residents, blue badge holders, emergency access).
  • Photograph all signage at the CPZ boundary and within the zone to verify consistency with the Traffic Management Order.
  • Request CCTV footage early if the PCN relates to a bus lane or moving traffic contravention.

Common mistakes to avoid:

  • Never admit fault; even "I didn't realise" weakens your case
  • Don't pay while appealing; it waives your appeal rights
  • Don't miss deadlines; late appeals are automatically rejected
