<p>Forget wards as places. They're an irrelevance, a political convenience and have nothing to say about an area's identity.</p>
<p>But I know what you mean about other people not knowing what you're talking about. It probably never got that bad in Harringay, but it was going that way. Neighbourhood identity is not a campaign that one person will win, but enough of the right people will make a difference. </p>
<p>Glad you like the history stuff!</p>

<p>West Green Common has a good sign, but when I tell people (local people!) I live near West Green Common they have no idea what I'm talking about!</p>
<p>I'm actually in St Ann's ward, but I think West Green is a better neighbourhood identity to adopt.</p>
<p>PS I do love the history stuff you post.</p>

<p>I'm actually a passionate defender of neighbourhood identity in general, rather than just Harringay's. One of those local neighbourhoods that's lost its sense of self is West Green. A couple of hundred years ago West Green was bigger than Wood Green. It had a very clear sense of self and no map of Middlesex was complete without it. </p>

<p>Where you live is actually quite close to the historic heart of West Green. With the loss of the railway station and no political will, the sense of West Green is evaporating. I put a couple of stakes in the ground for you all by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Green,_London" target="_blank">starting a Wikipedia page</a> and setting out <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/West+Green,+London/@51.5843437,-0.0906864,16.39z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x48761c0f133e3281:0xbc06674aa0d684ff!8m2!3d51.586254!4d-0.0867628" target="_blank">the area on Google maps</a>, but West Green locals need to do the rest. (There's also a <a href="http://www.harringayonline.com/photo/photo/search?q=west+green" target="_blank">set of historical West Green photos</a> here on HoL.)</p>
<p>Many local people, businesses and institutions seem to prefer to think of themselves as part of Tottenham. Whilst that was true in 1965, it's also the case that at that time West Green still had a strong identity of its own.</p>
<p>There have been a number of occasions when people have told me that their choice of identifying as Tottenham is political. In one case, Alex, the former head of Park View School, told me that he used Tottenham for political reasons. A local business has told me that it helps them in a similar way. I'm sure that the general picture is much more complex, involving other social issues, and sometimes people just aren't aware of an alternative.</p>
<p>Me, I don't get it. If I was a West Greener, I'd be pestering my ward councillors and going for some of the ward budget to put up 'Welcome to West Green' signs etc. I've <a href="http://www.harringayonline.com/forum/topics/your-neighbourhood-name-whose-right-to-choose" target="_blank">explained before</a> just why I think this issue is important. </p>
<p>Any road up, Sarah, he good news is that you don't live in a no-man's land. You live close to the heart of West Green. </p>
