Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Please Help Us Raise £700 to Fund a Leaflet Printrun
For those of you who are active on HoL, you'll be very much aware of Haringey Council's transport study. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for all Harringay's residents to have their say on how best to reduce our excessive traffic burden. To that end, we want to ensure that all residents are FULLY informed on the options available.
Unlike Haringey Council, we do not have a juggernaut PR system pushing our message, or the money to pay for it. So we are asking for your help. We want to raise money to fund a print run of leaflets for Wightman and all the Ladder roads, plus other events to raise awareness.
If you'd like to help us raise funds for the second phase of our campaign; to create a safer, healthier, happier Harringay for everyone, then please click the link below which will take you to our Just Giving page.
Thank you.
Yes, I would like to help raise £700 to fund leaflets If you'd like more information, or get involved, please check out our Living Wightman Blog or Facebook Page.

You think look local community groups asked for half of the options to be "make it one way"?

Don the options are based on proposals from the whole community which the consultants collated into a longlist, subsequently whittled down to a medium list and then the current shortlist which is the focus of the current engagement. There are chicanes and raised tables included in the Minor Improvements WL1 package.
The consultatation document explicitly says the Minor Improvements package is "unlikely to have a major impact on traffic", "unlikely to have a major impact on air quality" and "unlikely to have a major impact on noise".

@ JM - I actually meant to say that your retort to the post in question was outstanding. Jonathan Swift would have been proud (and that is about as high a compliment as I see myself able to give).

No thanks, unless you're going to offer up your property price gains to those that can't even afford a deposit? After all you got your housing cheap due to it being sandwiched between a main road and a railway.

You can't do anything with property house price gains except pass them on to your grandchildren when you die. The government will get more than each grand child and lots of our MPs are landlords. Don't blame us.

I won't, but I'll go for free flowing traffic in the borough over increasing idle time, therefore NOx emissions down. And if it happens to keep property prices down then all the better.

NO2 emissions dropped on Green Lanes for the last three months of the bridge closure:
Congestion was worse in the first few weeks of bridgeworks but improved steadily, no doubt with some sideways knocks from Stroud Green roadworks (May?) and GOBLIN closures (June?). Improvements continued over the school summer holidays and Living Wightman were petitioning to extend the filtering for a few months as traffic would have continued to adjust to the new road layout.

So the traffic dropped during the school holidays. That's hardly surprising.
Commuting during the bridge works was total crap.
I'll support your increase in wealth of £200K if you support exempting all motorcycles from the ULEZ any any extension of. Along with full secure parking. Fair deal?

I think you misunderstood my point EyeSpy - pollution dropped between 2015 and 2016, in the same (school holiday) months.
I don't know if anyone's wealth will increase - as you say the Ladder is still between a primary route and the railway, and there are lots of other factors affecting property values.
And I'm sorry your experience of commuting was crap. There were no mitigating measures in place during the bridgeworks to compensate for the altered traffic flow.

yes, and in one year wightman road was open and another it was closed. Also in the same period DEFRA reported a decrease in pollution for the year (https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_dat...)
I guess you own property on Wightman Road. It doesn't take a genius or Dumb Phil and Fat Kirsty to figure out that buying when it's on a main road and then manipulating local policy to become a garden lines the pockets of the property owners.

Your link seems to be for the whole UK and only goes up to 2015 so not sure how it's relevant?
You guessed wrong about my residential status too.
