Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Generators in Finsbury Park
Has anyone else noticed how many diesel generators there are in Finsbury Park at the moment? Between the security hut at Hornsey Gate, film crews (each set of floodlights is an individual generator to make things worse) and Thames Water site (they do have a few photovoltaics but I'd be surprised if there isn't a generator too) there are a ridiculous number. Given the state of air pollution in London at the moment, this isn't right.
I've not trawled planning policies but does anyone know off the top of their head if Haringey have any mitigating factors for this - is there a levy applied to the users for example, or are there any plans to put fixed power supplies in for temporary uses? It's really acrid when I take the kids to school in the mornings and it feels like the park should be the one place you can escape some of the pollution a bit. I know we'll all pay for it eventually but I'd rather be paying more for my TV subscription than on treating people in hospital...
Anyone ever had success in raising these issues or will it get put in a pile of parking permit applications?

Has anyone taken it up with Parks Services ?
Or Environmental Services ?
As they would have had to get Permission and Permits
Or get TV and press involved as a Danger to residents and Park Users

I've also noticed this, and doubt much effort is going into making sure the generators are used as little as possible, or as efficiently as possible .... but am guilty of not following up/complaining about it - does anyone know who's best to approach about this?

It comes under Haringey Parks, so they are the first place to contact
If believed to be a Health issue, Environmental Services
If they are not Helpful , Local Press

I’ll try Parks. My point was even better illustrated when a large temporary generator appeared behind the cafe yesterday - presumably due to a specific problem, although it didn’t look like a UKPN one so who knows. Will feed back where I get to.

Did All the Christmas Trees Get Sold, that was stacked up by Endymion Gate ?
