We had a leaflet from haringey today saying that the decision to reverse the traffic flow had been shelved and instead a no right turn would be put in place, along with penalty cameras.
I think it is a shame that the reverse traffic flow has been halted as I think that would have genuinely helped with our problems on Hewit but I wondered what anyone else thought. There is a chance to respond about this decision to the council.

what! burgoyne will be two way? i never heard about that! (sorry to go off topic!)
Thanks for that, will go and investigate as I am not so keen on such an idea!
Although it is the only ladder road capable of taking two-way traffic.
Weren't all the Ladder roads two way before the change to being one-way (which was only around a decade ago?) so all must be capable of it?
As Ant says, they were all two way originally and there are thousands of two way rounds around the country as narrow as the narrowest of the ladder roads, so they are indeed all capable of it. Personally I'd like to see them all 2 way again and avoid all the extra traffic of people looping round two roads to park or to drive off in the opposite direction. It seems to me that one way systems that were installed so feverishly around the Country are increasingly discredited these days as more and more are reverted to 2 way. Anyway, better not go back to that discussion!
Though it is unclear and badly written, looking at the notice below I'm pretty sure it means that it's 2-way just for the period that the bottom is closed off.
Thames Water are digging on Umfreville at the moment, and have suspended parking at the top end of the road. If they really close Burgoyne Road completely for 6 weeks, there's going to be chaos. It would be good to find out what's happening.
That's a bit unfair Birdy - there was a huge amount of discussion on here about the consequences of what was being suggested for Hewit and a lot of it focused on the impact it would have on other roads, especially Beresford and Pemberton. As I remember the balance of opinion was against the Hewit proposals rather than for.
