Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
“Opposing LTNs is not about culture wars”
Probably more people on HoL than at the council read The Guardian, but, if you haven’t seen it, this piece in today’s paper edition (and online) by Joseph Harker reflects on the consultation process his council did — or didn’t — go through in creating their LTNs and could be worthwhile reading for Haringey councillors when the next round of closures is proposed. His point about carrot and stick is crucial to the whole debate (though the title of this post is taken from the printed article’s heading and may not appear in the online version).

Thank you for sharing. This is how I feel about Haringey Council, they only listen to the people who agree with LTNs and ignore everyone else.
This paragraph from the article is spot on for me, "Those who oppose LTNs are not rabid petrol-headed rightwingers who want to burn up the planet: they’re mostly just ordinary people trying to go about their daily business whose life has been made miserable."

There is also the misery of traffic taking a short cut through your street which has just started, as it does every weekday, at 6am as I type this.
