You'd certainly get fit that way, they won't be 10kg forever. Loads of parents walk their children to Crouch End that way in the mornings. I've even seen our local GoT star doing it a few times. I bet you could find another parent to share the journeys with the kids would get a nice bit of exercise too as they got older and could use a scooter.
I hate going around the long way myself and will even carry my heavy bicycle up the steps and over to avoid it so no, I would never suggest you walk under the tunnel at Turnpike Lane.

Not sure if you are a parent or not, but its not as simple as you layout unfortunately. My children are at nursery not school. One is less than a year, the other is 2.
We know the majority of parents at the nursery, none of them come from our direction and nursery times are much different to school times.
Don't get me wrong, I know the point you are trying to make. I have carried that pram up and down those stairs a lot. My wife on the other hand is not as physically strong as me and could never do that.
She does the afternoon run, I do the morning run, its the life of working parents this day in age.

Unless you know there are places and know the requirements of these particular children, I wouldn't make comments on other people's choices (of which there are very few) around childcare.

So it's her choice then to use her car to take the children to another nursery. That choice may involve some inconvenience.

Whats your point their John? You think its viable for me to up and move my child who has been in the same nursery for 2 years to Willoughby Rd? Did you not think that we considered that nursery and that it might not meet our needs?

So, for you to meet your needs ( I hope you mean your child's needs ) and to save 15 minutes on your journey the whole Ladder has to suffer excessive traffic and pollution ?
You made the choice: now live with the consequences - in the unlikely event that the Council re-introduces filtering.

Really John, its me that causing the excessive traffic and pollution by driving some 100 meters to the junction on Wightman Road from Lausanne Road, not sure how that adds up?
What I stated in my original post were my thoughts, hate it or love it, I won't be changing my routine anytime soon.

I'm not talking about your 100 metre journey. I'm discussing your objection to the filtering of Wightman. And of course you're entitled to express your opinions.

Share the love. Seems like anyone who is against the Wightman Road closure are selfish, inconsiderate, polluters who make bad choices because they don't fit in with the narrative of the Wightman Road village idyll. You must all comply. I notice that you seem to be speaking for all Ladder residents.

While I sympathise with your extra journey times the way it strikes me is that this happened to you twice a day so something like 30-50 minutes of driving rather than rather than 10 minutes. The hundreds of households on Wightman Road have to deal with a vehicle, a lot of them very large commercial vehicles, passing within feet of their windows every few seconds from early in the morning to late at night.
