<p>I picked up the following from the Alexander Park website, but the comment was subsquently deleted. So I'm not sure if it's correct or not. I'll email the guy I was in touch with at the Commission and see if I can get an update.</p>

<p>Here's a more detailed map of the current boundary in that part of the ward. </p>

<p>From what I can tell from the more sketchy proposed boundary map, the new boundary would extend a little eastward of the current one to include the large parts of Harringay Road currently not included, and also to encompass Stanley Road and a handful of houses on the south side of West Green Road.</p>
<p>I think of everything between Glenwood Road and Blackboy Lane as roughly equating to the Woodlands Park Estate. It looks like all that would be kept together in the new ward focussed to the east of Green Lanes. So far so good, as far as I'm concerned. </p>
<p>I would say that it's certainly sensible to have all of Harringay Road within one ward. That's also a positive. So that leaves the question of what is the appropriate home for the five roads to the east of Green Lanes included in Harringay Ward in the proposals of the local Labour and Lib Dem parties. It may be that the residents would rather be in the current St Ann's or West Green wards. It may be that they're happy to be included in Harringay ward. I can guess, but I wouldn't presume to speak for them.</p>
<p>My submission focussed on two main areas, the parts of Harringay to the east of Green Lanes and the parts to the west. I argued for one ward to the east and one to the west. The redrawing of the proposed Harringay ward boundary east of Green Lanes was not my suggestion. If it was up to me, all other things being equal I would consider first including them in either the West Green ward or the Harringay ward to the east of Green Lanes. </p>
<p>That part of the ward boundary has always struck me as odd. I imagine that its arbitrariness is due to the need to balance electorate numbers between wards. I suspect that few boundaries can ever be perfect.</p>
<p>My welcoming of the revised Labour proposals was in response to their broad brush. Broadly, they reflect what I argued for in my two submissions. If you want to hold someone to account for the five roads to the east of Green Lanes, I think you're best asking the people who proposed it. </p> It’s the same now.

<p>There was also a largeish number of objections about the Hornsey changes (the mad proposal to turn everything south of the middle of Tottenham Lane into Stroud Green).</p>
<p>Yes, I see Cllr Zena did a very good letter defending the distinctive Harringay identity (and rightly mentioning this site which contributes to it!).</p>
