Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Council Update on Liveable Crouch End
From a Council press release:
The Liveable Crouch End project is currently on hold at the request of TfL. Proposed designs as part of the project include measures such as footway widening and cycle routes – which will support TfL’s social distancing priorities. These designs will now feed into further borough-wide assessments being undertaken by the Council relating to the Mayor’s Street Space programme.

Disdain for Crouch End residents apart, given TfL's current and future dire financial state this is highly unlikely to happen for the next five years at least, beyond temporary barrier widening of pavements as on Green Lanes by Iceland and the Post Office.

Why do people sneer at and disparage Crouch End ? Do they actually know anybody who lives in Crouch End ?
Or is it just jealousy and inverse snobbery ?

I see where you are coming from. " CE luvvies ", "wealth " "nouveau riche ". You despise those who choose to shop at Waitrose ( quite a nice store ) or organic grocers ( healthy food ). You sneer at wealth.
People living on the Harringay Ladder would also like to live in an area with less traffic and pollution and they're celebrating the opening of a juice bar that also sells organic vegetables. Does that make them luvvies too ?
But levelling down to the lowest common denominator went out with the death of Chernenko except in the minds of bitter, envious left-wingers.

You seem blinkered by your preconceptions. You probably don't even see the irony in your accusing others of generalisation.

I don't have a particular axe to grind here. But in fairness to Alan, he is not talking about "levelling down to the lowest common denominator", he is talking about the rest of us suffering while others level up. I think he has a point

Where did this came from? Please can you post a link.

I can find no reference to this elsewhere. Who exactly at the "council", please?
Not that I'm suggesting it's at all unlikely. TfL are up covid creek without a vaccination like the rest of us, and not two ha'pence to rub together, I imagine most of their projects are on hold.

Be careful assuming what "on hold" means. The Liveable Crouch End project might be on hold but they say measures it included will now be part of the StreetSpace program. The Haringey changes related to the StreetSpace program are being planned right now and sound imminent and are being done seemingly without much community involvement. Will be interesting to see what they bring compared to the really significant changes that have been happening already in other London bouroughs.

The community were always a bit of an obstacle to Liveable Crouch End. "on hold" = "full steam ahead"?

This is what now actually appears on the Haringey website. It is not the same as above which appears to be fake-ish news
COVID-19 (coronavirus) update
The council continues to follow advice from the government and TfL regarding the continuation of this project. We have undertaken extensive community engagement in relation to this project but we are currently at the design development and TfL funding approval stage and are not actively engaging with the community.
Our next engagement stage will be a full public consultation which is currently planned for July 2020. We will of course consider this engagement in light of the COVID-19 situation.
We will continue to monitor the situation and if required we will postpone the consultation.

Because it doesn’t please you, Adrian doesn’t mean it’s fake or even fakeish. I wouldn’t publish anything suspect on HoL under my own or the website’s name any more than I suspect you would on Opnion8. It came directly from the Council as a press release. I wasn’t telling a mistruth last time I told you that and I’m not doing so this time.
