<p>They haven't finished the top coat yet so can't see yet, they did seem to have scrapped off quite a lot of the old road though. The roads are still closed today so more time for everyone to see the impact on other Ladder roads that the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.harringayonline.com/forum/topics/northern-lader-traffic-reduction-proposal" target="_blank">Frobisher gate</a> might have.</p>

<p>Three months later and today they've come back to finish resurfacing the rest of Frobisher Rd.</p>
<p>This includes the stretch along the bottom of Ducketts Common to Green Lanes, so they've closed a bit of Willoughby Rd as well as Frobisher Rd, so a little trial of what the <a href="http://www.harringayonline.com/forum/topics/northern-lader-traffic-reduction-proposal" target="_blank">Frobisher gate</a> would be like.

<p>As I recall, Vicki, when it gets high the contractors are supposed to scrape (or scabble) the existing tarmac.</p>
<p>If it gets to pavement height:</p>
<ul>
<li>drainage can be affected.</li>
<li>Cars often start parking partly on the pavement.</li>
<li>There's also a potential problem for blind and partially sighted people who rely on the kerb to warn them they've reached the footway edge. (I think transport engineers use the term "kerb upstands".) </li>

As a resident of the retarmac'ed end should we be concerned as the road surface has risen to such a degree the road and pavement are the same - where is the gutter???? Plus why have the speed bumps as you approach the school been removed?<br />
And finally the treacherous pavement outside the gates of the Greek church remains the same! Accident waiting to happen

<p>That would annoy me too. Mind you at least you have paved pavements. Ours are tarmac'ed and in a terrible condition like our road. </p>
