If there's funding and the will to make things happen, then any / all improvements welcome.................<br />
<br />
My own wish list<br />
Clear up rubbish / hose away chewing gum<br />
Consider viability of both the High Road and SC as commercial centres..........can the area sustain both ?<br />
<br />
I'm old enough to remember when a jaunt to SC was a big deal, but picking one's way up the High road to be confronted by a pick-a mix of phone / charity / pound emporia, before arriving to SC is a fairly dispiriting…

The Westfield / Brent Cross options are probably more appealing and perhaps WG can develop the food option of the market, which is actiually pretty good.<br />
<br />
Council needs to insist upon some say in the nature / quality of housing and be given more power to regulate slum landlords who enrich themselves on the back of housing benefit whilst playing the regulations game to suit their bottom line.<br />
( The Tories are bound to be on board with this.....)<br />
<br />
Is it too much to expect decent quality housing, with pleasant open space, good local schoolsand efficient transport ?<br />

<p>Foxtons Property Ranger (FPR), I do believe the development plans for Shopping City involve adding towers to it, so more of a monstrosity, not less. Since they are going ahead and publishing these plans and basing them largely around their preferred option of WG for Crossrail 2, they the council must know something we don't about the likely decision. So, WG will be a building site for 10-15 years. Another reason to continue with shopping in town, down the blue line.</p>

<p>The housing at the back of Shopping City is of course to be welcomed however, if it is going to be at prices of £800,000 for a 2 bed apartment then it won't be much use to those at the middle to lower income will it.</p> About time, crack on with it…tag:harringayonline.com,2017-01-17:844301:Comment:9531012017-01-17T23:53:41.916ZFinsbury Park Rangerhttps://harringayonline.com/profile/FinsburyParkRanger
About time, crack on with it for heavens sake, this development should have been made years ago. How long would have Muswell hill or Crouch end put up with a slopping sh*tty bang in the middle of their neighbourhood ? Onwards and upwards !

<p>There was a report on this on the breakfast show on BBC Radio London this morning, with a reporter at Shopping City and some discussion about housing affordability/funding and where they'll rehouse the people whose homes are going to be demolished. They said they would be covering the story closely in future.</p>

How much are they hedging their bets on even getting the Crossrail 2 station? Given that every other stakeholder that has expressed an opinion, as well as the majority of public respondents, have backed the Turnpike Lane - Alexandra Palace route. It seems unlikely that the council will get their wish, so to continue hanging the redevelopment on the back of Crossrail 2 seems foolish.

<p>So what's the deal with the Crossrail 2 shaft then, are they going to take even more of Downhill's Park than they are with the housing plan? This council is setting dangerous precedents for our local assets...And what happens to respecting consultations: I thought 80% of people who responded favoured the other option? Let's extrapolate a bit: does this mean that Brexit doesn't mean Brexit?</p>
