Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Does anyone know what's happened with the posts that split Hermitage Road in its junction with Ashfield Road?

The middle one has been removed so the street is no longer split in two and cars can circulate through.

Such a attention seeker. you clearly enjoy winding up people who care about the community they live in. Surely there are other sites you would find more like minded people than hop?

Don't agree that this is a case of gratuitous taunting for entertainment. Seems to me that MH does care about the community and area, but just has a different point of view regarding roads and traffic management compared with your own. I would be most disappointed if MH were to act on your suggestion to leave the stage, although having read previous posts from him/her (edit as required), it would be scarcely likely to happen . Anyway, as a matter of principle, surely you would agree that part of the purpose of sites like HOL is to provide a forum for debate of different perspectives and analyses, including those which might be polar opposites to one's own ?  

Oh yes, I remember, you used to be called Moonta according to your URL. Welcome back.

Otiscat, MH is not the one. 

You see, from my angle most of the posts on HOL read terribly NIMBY:

- I want a bollard in my street.

- I want 20mph on mine

- no right/left turn

- bus lane... even if it doesn't fit

Bycicle lanes

Remove parking restrictions at certain trimes

Enforce them at others

Personally I'd like to see any non resident in my street not walking but skipping with a funny hat on. I would have my own channel on youtube.

In case you wonder why people use the ladder and gardens as rat race (or try to) is because green lanes and turnpike lane are some point between torture and inferno.

And from what I have seen in 12 years in London, there has never been any holistic circulation planning but that is hardly a surprise with 33 dkfferent autorities in a single city.

The fire service had to remove it the other week during the serious car accident at the Hermitage/green lanes junction as access was blocked for them and no one could get out of the road. I was dropping in on a friend on eade road and couldn't move my car for hours. I expect the ballard will be replaced, but it highlights the access issue if another road accident or fire occurred.

in true harringay style, the solution would be to move the bollard to green lanes and have all access through St Anns.

I think in Islington the emergency services have a key to release  bollards easily and replace them afterwards.

Yeah that kind of thing would be better, as i think they actually had to cut this one out of the ground, which is a waste of their time and puts lives at risk of those needing then emergency services.
