Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Haringey Council latest Streetspace Bids
The Council have released some information on their latest Streetspace bids on a transport and highways response to the COVID-19 crisis to enable social distancing around Haringey including in town centres, outside schools, and providing new cycleways and low traffic neighbourhoods.
While it's great to see some action taking place, especially a proposed cycle route on either Wightman Road or the Harringay section of Green Lanes, so far there is little else for the Harringay area.
Folk on the Ladder have reason to be apprehensive with yet more plans to restrict through traffic in the areas around us while leaving the Ladder one of the few remaining areas left wide open to traffic and rat running.
Harringay Ladder Living Streets are campaigning for the reallocation of road space so people can walk and cycle safely on the Harringay Ladder.
Join the group by emailing: harringayladderlivingstreets@gmail.com.
We are having one of our regular online meetings this Thursday evenings, do email if you would like to join.

Looks like the St Anns/Green Lanes traffic lowering scheme would push traffic onto the Ladder and Wightman road even more?

All the while the state of the pavements in much of the borough (certainly here in Tottenham) is horribly bad it isn't even safe to walk on some of them if you have mobility issues, impaired vision or even have no problems at all.
They find money for these 'plaster', symbolic really, temporary schemes but when we ask for ordinary regular upkeep and improvements to make life liveable,they can't find the resources!
This is SHAMEFUL. A waste of money.
I would prefer that they take more time to take stock for and implement PERMANENT CHANGE = improvements. That money will be harder and harder to come by in the future.
SHAMEFUL!

I’d also like them to take the long view but this pot of money is purely about making streets more Covid safe and is time limited

We have widened pavements in Bruce Grove...nobody or very very few people use them.......!
I think this is all a waste of scarce resources.
If it is time that is limited how do you explain what went down on the South Coast yesterday?
I took the bus several times this week and quite a few passengers just weren't wearing their mask or pulled it down once on board.
These temporary, urgent schemes are a waste of very scare resources for little gain considering what the real needs are. Sorry to be so cynical.

Not sure why you’re cross at me - I’ve got no control over the money and how it’s spent

“..how do you explain what went down on the south coast yesterday”
It’s not for me to explain as I wasn’t responsible for it.
i didn’t put forward a premise, just some facts about the source and reason for the funding, not if I agreed or disagreed with it.
