Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Oxford Street to be pedestrianised by 2020 ... so Wightman Rd ...
... can surely be closed to through traffic in the future, as it currently is during the bridge works. If the planners can deal with the re-routing of all those buses and taxi journeys away from Oxford Street for the pedestrianisation plans, it must be possible to do this for Wightman Road as well.
Living Wightman would do well to have a chat with the new Mayor's office.

Thanks Matt, that is interesting - a shame it doesn't say which 'certain circumstances' are allowable.
The person at the council in charge of the temporary traffic order for the bridge works told me that when the bridge works are finished the traffic order they used to close/filter the road expires and they have to remove the barriers.

I've already outlined what the certain circumstances are.....if the designated works overrun. I work at a Council (not Haringey). I've spoken to the people whose job it is to know about these things. Those are the only circumstances allowed.

If you applied for Haringey Council, you wouldn't have to commute, you could cycle down Wightman.

1. There has to be a job to apply for.
2. As my tail bone is fused together with the first 2 vertabrae in my back I couldn't cycle to the end of the street without being in agony, so thanks for that completely unhelpful suggestion.

You need a recumbent.

And you need your head examined...I need functioning public transport

I'm trying to be helpful. There's no need to insult me. These are the bicycles that people with bad backs use.

Are they? Everyone I've seen in one of those has their head pulled up at a really uncomfortable looking angle in order to be able to look forward. That would destroy anyone's back after a while.

That's being helpful???? I call it patronising and rather insulting. You have no idea what my back condition allows me to do. It's no more helpful than saying I should go to work by pogo stick or skateboard or jet pack.

If I did work at Haringey I would have to crawl to/from work on a fume filled bus along Green Lanes. How long should that take in comparison to what it actually takes during rush hour?

Alright I give up Antoinette. You enjoy your driving and we'll tolerate your pollution because you're such a nice person making a positive contribution to the world.

Why does everyone on this forum have to resort to insults? And why is using the bus now aligned with driving a car as the number 1 top environmental crime? If you are a wheelchair user, the bus is the only form of public transport you can use because almost the entire tube network isn't wheel friendly. But that's not good enough - you can't use the bus, you're only acceptable if you ride a bike. If you don't have legs to do that, you must use your arms I suppose?
