Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Sorry to mention the elephant in the room but something scary is happening to house prices in the local area. I'm talking about some places rising by over 10% in the last week. Nearly 40 % in the last two years.

Speak to the estate agents, something unprecedented it's happening with the cost of home ownership, especially between wood green tube and ally pally.

It's possible this government may become known as seeing through the largest distribution of wealth from the poor to the rich ever ....

Wouldn't be much difference, just a bit more traffic on roads that already get traffic.

People live on the high street too you know. We might actually have kids playing on at least one street again, better than none.

A bus every 30 seconds is more than a " bit more traffic "

People live on the high street, more actually I bet than down the side streets.

Do you know of any examples, FPR,  where banning vehicles from a city centre has led to High Streets becoming successful play streets for younger children?

;- )

I wasn't talking about the traffic. In Wood Green it is limited to 2x2 lanes. Its just that the 80's(???) red brown shopping mall...is it the model for other town centres?

The reworking of the gyratory in Seven Sisters added more !!! lanes to the town centre stretch!

...and no cycle lanes....

The photo is hardly realistic, John.  Only one of those kids seems to be on his mobile.

I'm thinking wood greens version of this ...

Let's have a bit of practicality. Which road (s) do you suggest we send the buses down ? Mary Neuner's no good - it's too far from the shops.

Touche! Argh!

And look at this...even Sisters rebranded as Upper Stokey!

The worlds has gone mad! But  feeds in to the initial subject of this discussion. Where to prices and those who can't afford them?

@ JJB:

You claim in a previous comment that like many others, I lack 'confidence' in Tottenham's potential. That's because, being a resident of Tottenham all my life, and Tottenham Hale for most of it, I have seen the numerous regeneration plans thought-up and implemented by Haringey Council come and go, and seen the price that local people have paid for it. The area has been in decline long before the 1985 riot, and the rot intensified after that. The 2011 riot has killed off any real hope of the area being improved. The lack of any proper and decent amenities, coupled with the council's ongoing failure to maintain the public realm properly keeps property prices low in the area, hence the lack of demand. I'm not only angry, but also realistic about the situation.
