Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Petition: Make the St Ann’s development an opportunity to create healthy streets in St Ann’s Ward
Petition: Make the St Ann’s development an opportunity to create healthy streets in St Ann’s Ward
View and Sign the petition here
The upcoming development on the St Ann’s hospital site will add 700-800 new homes across our ward. Instead of more motor traffic, air pollution and congestion on our streets, we want to ensure this regeneration also creates healthier streets in the community
At present over 12,000 cars travel along St Ann’s Road every day past 4 primary schools, a playground, a hospital, a health centre, and residential homes. 82% of these journeys are in vehicles which are travelling at illegal speeds.
Please sign this petition if you think the development should be used as an opportunity to create a low traffic neighbourhood in St Ann’s Ward, enabling more residents to travel by foot or bike, reducing dangerous driving, creating more space for residents to interact, and more places for children to play on our streets. This is better for air quality, road safety, our health, and supports local business.

Total agree that UK needs to build more New Towns and Cities
As keep building in already congested areas is Not good for anyone
Especially in a Borough already over populated with congested Roads

i'm all for low traffic neighbourhoods. but i thought with the recent traffic survey a consensus had developed that we need to treat all harringay as one neighborhood. recent history shows us that tinkering in one part of it badly impacts the other parts.
if we're thinking about a low traffic neighbourhood (your literature talks about filtering), surely we should include the areas on both sides of green lanes. so i don't support this narrow focus only looking out for the interests of one ward.

I cant remember when i first said it, But, stop traffic entering Haringey and keep all the roads open for residents of the borough to use.
It should acheive everyones goals.
But then again, I'm no traffic expert

Hi Andrew, to confirm Haringey Living Streets are campaigning for low traffic neighbourhoods across the borough - there is an event on the 15th September to discuss this further ( link below). The guidance on low traffic neighbourhoods is usually to have them in cells/a group of residential streets, bordered by main or “distributor” roads - hence the focus on St Anns, but I'm sure the group would be open to discussing the boundaries for implementation (guidelines on the size of cells are included in the resource below - you should be able to walk across a cell in around 15 mins). We think the St Ann's development offers an important opportunity to create and support healthier streets in the local area, but is should be one of many! Happy to discuss further if you're interested!
