Within the context of a story on the 'restaurantisation' of London's high streets, the Evening Standard has picked up on the story of the planning application by the new restaurant on Green Lanes.
They want to take a photo of a group of objectors for inclusion in the piece and are asking for local people who objected to take part.
Reporter Natasha Salmon and an ES photographer will be at the Bottom of Pemberton Road this evening at 7PM and have requested as many people as possible to make their way there. Look for someone with a camera!

Hi POTUS
Let me set the record straight.
I am one of the ward councillors for Harringay ward. I objected to the planning application and my objection is posted along with all the other objections.
Best wishes
Zena

Cllr, Harringay ward
I wouldn't disagree that Harringay's high street has improved a lot over the past two decades and I'm a great supporter of most of the change. However, it doesn't follow that multiplying the proprtion of one type of business will create a better result. In my view a great high street is a thriving and diverse collection of businesses that compliment one another. It's a finely judged call to decide when one type of business is dominating too much.
There is also the question of respect for law. Planning law is there to try and ensure that our neighbourhoods develop as places that are good places in which to live. It's far from perfect, but it's all we have. So whether it's the council, businesses or citizens seeking to flout the law, it is right that they are challenged and required follow the law like the vast majority of us do.
Here's forum Urban 75's take on the story.
