<p>Oh I've just noticed this. I can't believe you got away with it. I'd be censored if I accused you of not being of sound mind. They said the same about Plato so I'm in good company. Personally I think you've considered the propsal for about 2 seconds and are quite smugly happy with yourself. Keep thinking.</p>

<p>Hi Paul,</p>
<p>Sorry for the delayed reply, I've been really busy.</p>
<p>The Residents' Association was set up 7 years' ago, and it's members are from the N4 end of Wightman Road (from Seymour Road up towards the park). We set up by going round knocking on doors, putting leaflets through letterboxes, getting interested people to ask their neighbours ... </p>
<p>More recently, we had a sale on Saturday 11th May at Stroud Green library, partly to advertise ourselves and encourage new members (also to get some funding for expenses). There were notices on local trees, in Moka, and the library. It was also advertised on HoL. </p>
<p>You say you lived on Wightman Road, and I'm sorry you missed out on the discussion about the traffic. This was not just brought about by us, but also local councillors were behind it, and David Lammy. </p>
<p>The general feeling of residents living here since the speed bumps and 20 mph limit were put in place is that it's quieter, it's easier to park, to cross the road, and safer for older people and children. This is the first time I've heard that it's more dangerous for cyclists. However, if we can get it closed to general traffic (personally I'm doubtful) then perhaps a cycle route could be established, as there seem to be few cycle friendly roads around here.</p>
<p>The Residents' Association has also set up a neighbourhood watch, and established a friendly and supportive community on a horrible road. If you still live on Wightman Road and are interested in the Residents' Association my email address is <a href="mailto:sameighan@blueyonder.co.uk">sameighan@blueyonder.co.uk</a> If you're somewhere else in Haringey and want to join a Resident's Association, contact Haringey Federation of Residents' Associations, which has been going since 2001 <a href="mailto:info@haringeyresidents.org">info@haringeyresidents.org</a> There may be one in existence near you, or you can help set one up. (There are currently 180 local residents' associations across Haringey.)</p>
<p>I hope this is useful</p>
