Haringey LTN Trial Schemes, an ambitious first step

Hi all,

Just flagging that Haringey needs your view on the three trial LTNs in the borough.

Haringey has been lagging behind all of its neighbouring boroughs for many years on streets and public spaces that are safer and healthier for people of all ages.

The first three trial LTNs, with Bruce Grove/West Green being one of the largest LTNs launched in London, were an ambitious first step towards Haringey recognising the impact of rat running and increase in single-occupancy, short journeys by car. The environment, people's health and well being, and communities where these people live have all benefited from these schemes. If we want to see more of it, then there has to be some positive feedback within these consultations.

If you have 5-10 minutes, even if you don't live in these areas, it would be much appreciated to share your views. 20th September is the deadline, links below:

The grumblers have been anything but silent or private instead on the Wild West of message boards like NextDoor they have been down right abusive to anyone who suggests gently that some people don't need to drive everywhere in Haringey just because they can and perhaps they shouldn't be moaning about the traffic that they create themselves by doing this. PS no roads are closed in the LTNs.

Don't be so eager to have all the ladder roads done! I'm on the Tottenham side and I'm hemmed in with them. Can't exit at the top end of my road. I can only exit/ enter my road via West green road and nearly always plenty of traffic there. Pollution hasn't improved and has got worse due to idling traffic. Haringey's overall aim is to get rid of as many cars as possible as is on their plans. Many people need their cars including me, essential workers, carers etc and the fact that they're getting rid of day passes makes things even more challenging. Lots of people can't cycle, find public transport difficult. Guy's response hits the nail on the head. It's not all sweetness and light when you living with it every day.
