Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Harringay Passage audit - Saturday April 14th 10.30am
The findings will be written up in a report with recommendations and sent to the Council. Experience of previous audits - one was done in Crouch End Broadway recently - is that the Council takes such reports seriously and, subject to funding, is prepared to carry out at least some of the recommendations, so it is worth doing!
I have attached the report from the recent Hornsey High Street audit.
Please let me know if you would like to take part in the audit.
Regards
Adam

Count me in. Do you know why/how they chose the passage as the area of focus in Harringay?

Chris Barker was looking for places where the community would be keen to get involved, and we discussed the Passage. He tought it would be a suitable location.

The Hornsey High Street Audit is an interesting read. It's clear, brief, and ends with practical recommendations. In under four pages I didn't expect it to cover every aspect of what goes on along a High Street. But it can challenge all of us to pause and look with fresh eyes at local streets which we often hurry along. And to think about the "layers of the onion" in what we observe.
Understandably, the Hornsey High Street Audit focuses on physical aspects and this is valuable in recording what's there; the problems observed; and in putting forward possible solutions. But the most important "layer" of the onion is how public physical spaces are used by different members of the public.
And sometimes this needs a fairly detailed focus. Picking-up on Liz Ixer's suggestion for an ethnography of rubbish dumping, maybe there could also be an ethnography of Passage-using?

I bet they decide to gate it.

Hmmmm. Be very surprised if a charity called Living Streets would recommend closing a well used car free thoroughfare. Why not get yourself there and put your point of view in person?

Can it be done on a Thursday morning? It seems to me that all of the dogs in Harringay are taken out into the passage on a Wednesday night for their weekly poo, and judging by some of their leavings, at least half of them have been fed nothing but piccalilli since their previous efforts a week before.
