There is a serious problem with east to west travel across the borough. Turnpike Lane is choked with westbound traffic in the morning. And eastbound traffic in the evening.

LIKE a few car owners, the council leadership sometimes wills the end (i.e. a better environment) but without willing the means to the end (addressing the problem directly).
The leadership is likely to view Highways as a toxic issue.
Therefore, the council does little to nothing that is meaningful. Due to the reluctance to take action, the sclerotic council embarks on more costly delaying strategies that appear to try to build support for taking action.
Their action-plans signify and telegraph better than anything else, that there will be no action for the foreseeable future.
One measure of the scale and history of their inertia, is the year of the publication of the Haringey Cycling Action Plan.
It was 2004 or 20 years ago. It has since been airbrushed from the municipal website.
