Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Hi Everyone

The Alroy Road and Endymion Rd raised junction and crossing points are due to be constructed from 16th February. For many years this has been a very dangerous junction for pedestrians and it's a huge relief that finally we will see something done about it. Myself and fellow councillors for the ward met with officers on site some months ago to seek to address the problem. We agreed at the time the course of action and Cllr Mcnamara committed to allocate a budget. Now that we have a firm date I will keep you updated.

Gordon i think it best that you email me as I have forwarded the response to numerous residents who have asked.We have also talked about a traffic survey since then and that's not the most up to date response. the other poster on here was sent the response so could easily post. I am not a regular user of Harringay online. The best way to contact me and other councillors is not on here but via email phone and our surgeries. I log in to Harringay online via one device but my emails are accessible via another as my council lap top was not been in use since I was chucked off system as I did not log on while Ill. To cut a long story short I cannot post on HOL via my phone and cannot access my emails via my iPad. Does that answer your question ?

So please email me

Done.

And me

Thanks
Morning Emine

When you get an opportunity I think it would still be useful to post the response please (even if it isn't the most up to date).

This has dragged on for so long now and residents need to be kept up to date.

Thanks
Hi Karen will do my best - if I email it from council email to personal email should be able to copy and paste.

Emine

Gordon. did you get a reply from Emine ?

Still waiting for an answer to my mail of 20th October.

No reply but no acknowledgement so it    might    be that my email was not received though I have had no error message.  I used the correct address   emine.ibrahim@haringey.gov.uk  as specified on the Haringey Council website.  The email read:

Alroy Rd / Endymion Rd raised junction

Emine,    As you asked just now, I’m emailing you so you can update me with the Officers’ response to your Member’s question that you’re unable to post on Harringay Online.      Gordon T[.....]

It is regrettable that the original 'Good News' thread has not just changed to 'Could have been better news' but has ended up, for the last four months, as 'Where is the news?'. As I wrote earlier, my aim is to encourage active councillors.

In the absence of a forthcoming reply, this HoL thread will be bookmarked on my computer as  Please teacher, the dog ate my homework 

Hello Gordon

This is the part of the response which is still relevant as initially there was an enquiry about times frames too which are out of date.

Here is the response we received at the time. This is out of date now for the simple reason that we now are going to have a traffic and parking review hence my delay in response because as far as I am concerned everything should be on table for a traffic and parking review. The specific issues about road space I have previously stated. However if you would like the verbatim version from an officer here it is.

As part of these proposals we did have an aspiration to install physical traffic islands, unfortunately during the detailed design stage it was found to be unfeasible due to the limited road space. However I am currently investigating additional measures to increase the effectiveness of the currently painted islands, which I intend to implement at the same time as the high friction red surfacing.

There are no plans to carry out further footway works in the Alroy Road and agree that there are a number of roads across the borough that would benefit from maintenance to improve their condition and appearance. As I am sure you will be aware however, funding for planned maintenance of our highways is limited and unfortunately does not allow us to address all locations identified through condition surveys for maintenance. We therefore have to prioritise works to locations in most need and thereby make the most effective use of the funding available for this work.

Emina. Thanks for this, I think this is certainly worth looking at as part of the Traffic Study. I will make a note of it and try to make sure it gets put on the agenda for the consultants and Steering Group to review.

With the Traffic Study it may be time for a pedestrians group, and cyclists group to contribute to discussions and plans for Harringay's future.

Emine, thank you for this reply - though it's not what enquirers may wish for it's at least a long-looked-for full stop as to what the council officials' response was.

Gordon T
