Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Cycling along Green Lanes
There is growing impatience and frustration about the Council’s lack of action on improving cycling and pedestrian safety on Green Lanes.* This mounting concern was covered in a recent piece in the Ham and High (see link below) about this and the growing discontent from cyclist about the safety of cycling along Green Lanes – either as a commuter, or just travelling to the local shops and services.

As Trump would say…. “Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
*and elsewhere across the borough. All the cycle routes from surrounding boroughs stop abruptly at the Haringey border!

There is a perfect opportunity to put some of these major issues and concerns directly to Cllr Hakata (Lead Member for Climate Action, Environment, and Transport) this Saturday. He is joining the Big Secret Safari Ride from Tottenham Flower and Produce Festival and has agreed to take questions at the end of the ride.
There is more information on the ride at the HoL Event page. The ride starts at 11am from the Hub Cafe in Lordship Rec. Please come and join the community ride and visit the Tottenham Flower and Produce Festival.

- 15 months later, no work was started
- In the "marble" block, the superfluous material remains untouched
- 15 months after the Public Relations effort, there is no sign of a sculptor or any chisel
- With the #CurrentCrew at Borough of Culture 2027, there is no reason to expect any change to be delivered in the next eight months, at least.

Sadly, I can’t make it to the Q&A, but, if you’re going, perhaps you’d like to ask Mike Hakata why he hasn’t made good on his promise (in an e-mail to me, and probably to others) to introduce comprehensive mitigation measures in Green Lanes to cope with the extra traffic load generated by the LTNs before their introduction. Or, for that matter, why nothing has been done since they added to the congestion (and pollution) on what Barbara accurately calls a “major transport highway”. Sorting out GL would be a major part of making travel through the area faster, cleaner and better for everyone.

It's absolutely insane to me that the council allows parking in what could be a bus and cycle lane. The whole stretch is a constant traffic jam nightmare because of this. It's like Haringey council are living in 1991 - beyond time for change.

HARINGEY Council's excellent Cycling Action Plan (of the year 2004) gathered dust before being abandoned. In it's place are robust public-relations and publications, without limit.
The council's preference is for words, not action. They are unable to make any improvement to Green Lanes, largely due to the long-time, cosy relationship between shop keepers and the council Majority Group.
