Background

The Viewpoint is located in Old Redding next to The Case is Altered Public House. The open space covers 1.62 hectares, and there are magnificent views across the north of London on a clear day. Harrow Council have recently decided to restrict access to this area and have introduced measures which now prevent anyone being able to park and enjoy the facilities whenever they wish. When introducing these restrictions Harrow Council did not conduct a proper consultation and did not go through a formal approval process. Harrow Council issued an off-street parking places public notice stating that the Car Park would be operating from 8 am until 11:30 pm, however, they are closing the car park at 4 pm. In October 2021 Harrow council installed double yellow lines on both sides of the entire length of Old Redding road.

Petition Topic

This petition is for Harrow Council to either increase the hours of operation of the car park until 11:30 pm as per their off-street parking places public notice and/or remove the double yellow lines which are now on both sides of the entire length of the road. The actions of Harrow Council have not considered the needs of Harrows’ residents and are discriminatory, unreasonable and show a complete disregard for the small business that operates from The Case is Altered. The Case is Altered relies on people being able to visit the area by car and Harrow Council have gone to great lengths to ensure that is no longer possible after 4 pm.

We the undersigned, request that Harrow Council increase the hours of operation of our public car park until 11:30 pm as per Harrow Council's public notice and/or remove the unnecessary double yellow lines in order to save The Case is Altered from closure.
