Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Bye bye Frobisher bench
Sadly despite our trying they have refused to engage in any meaningful discussion on what we could do to keep it there. Some kudos to John Forde who was tasked with the job of phoning to deliver the news, he didn't sound like it was his favorite job for the week.

But, Michael, as you know, across the whole borough it's a more complex question than that.

A clear policy that need enforcing. What could be simpler than that.

You're right. The photo on page 80 of chapter 8 is precisely as it looks now.

Many thanks, Andrew.
But I don't see the problem which Phil, Michael and others are on about.
It's a nicely designed document with lots of informative photos and drawings. I couldn't spot any obvious typos. And what I read is written in clear plain language. Chapter 7 - at least - was mercifully free of photos and banalities from politicians. The document is posted online so anyone with Internet access can see it. (Though as you gathered, Haringey's search function was not helpful for me.)
Hopefully they keep the original hand-signed copies in a waterproof glass cabinet in the Top Bananas' suite in River Park House. Protected from direct sunlight and insects. What more could anyone want or expect?
Action? Surely not. This is Koberville.

I also note that on page 81 the recommended cycle stands for Green Lanes are Sheffield.

Sorry to climb on my soapbox again, but I just can't understand why no one at the Council seems to able to bring themselves to call Harringay Harringay. Grr.

You're right about which name is the most sensible. Every other 'metropolitan centre' is referred to by it's neighbourhood name, rather than its high street.
Here's a post I added a while back highlighting the total confusion that would arise if the Council were to use the same naming policy around the borough that they apply to our neighbourhood.

Green Lanes runs from Newington Green to Edmonton and beyond. How did this fraction take over?

The same is happening on Turnpike Lane as well. I was just thinking about it. Much as I love the shops I also want to be able to walk down the pavement (an pull my bike if necessary).

I think it is about the moderation and esthetic. Seeing the traditional looking green grocer in the square of Newington Green, I can't think of nothing but plentiful prosperity of human productivity. I have no objection over their practice of fresh looking vegs and fruits spreading out on the street to lure customers in. There is a space in the front and the selections and presentation are assuring and agreeable.
I also do not have much problem with our grocers displaying their proud vegs and fruits on display. Part of their marketing. I think the issue with our road is how much it spread in proportion to the width of the walk way. Also, another problem being the perception that they are there permanently. If a shop closes every night and they have to take all the goods inside, it gives you the perception that things are there for a short while. A lot of the shops on our street opens 24 hours and their food displays cater for that.
I would still like to see the display in front of their shops, so I hope we will not be debating to rectify it all...
