Car Clubs in Haringey
What is a car club?
Car club membership provides the convenience of using a vehicle without the costs of owning, insuring and parking one. Using a car club vehicle is also a step towards easing parking problems and reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Car club users typically give up owning a first or second car on joining; others defer purchasing one due to using the car club instead. The result is that each car club car typically replaces 10 private cars.

|back to topFuture expansion of car club scheme
Haringey Council has received a further £100k funding from Transport for London to cover the costs of installing additional car club bays during 2009/10 and 2010/11. This funding will be used to increase the number of car club vehicle locations in the borough with a target of having 80 operational car clubs bays by the end of 2010-2011. This will create a borough wide service where every resident and business would be within a 5 minute walk of a car club vehicle. Details for this consultation process will be released in the Autumn.
