Open front parking policy
Harlow New Town was originally designed so that front gardens would be 'open' in appearance – with no fences, walls, intrusions or parking of any vehicle. However, changes over the years have meant that, in some cases, Harlow Council has started to relax these policies. More people own cars now than ever before, which has made parking in some areas a problem. Residents now want to be able to park cars on their own front gardens.
