Anyone know who we can complain to about the road works in Phillip Lane near Downhills Park? Don't know what is being done but they seem to be redesigning the road and have failed to ensure pedestrians' safety. The road crossings just outside a school and two bus stops have been closed off so people cannot get across the road without walking about two blocks around the roadworks. Surely they could have planned this better.
That is an amazing piece of "work." It is going even slower than the basketball courts in Duckett's Common which is some achievement.
Who to complaint to? Cllr Nilgun Canver has the Environment brief in the Council "cabinet". But Nilgun has had a family bereavement. So this area is temporarily being covered by the Council Leader, Cllr Claire Kober.
You may also wish to copy-in the three West Green ward councillors:
Thanks for that Alan I have no objections to road work but think they should have included plans to accommodate pedestrians' needs and safety, including hundreds of schoolchildren, while it was going on.
The plans and schedule for works were very fully reported at the planning stage(s) here on Harringay Online. There was a very full discussion of the pros and cons. Some people put in responses to the Council on the plans. It seems that some people only wake up and take an interest in new developments in the area when the actual works start. Pay attention, people!
Perfectly fair points, Christopher. But please consider as well that:
(Tottenham Hale ward councillor)
Well, I agree with some of the points you make. But if people are not paying close attention to Harringay Online, why are they posting their complaints here? And, surely _any_ visually literate human being can visualise from plans how a project will look? There were lots of reports in the local newspaper(s) too. I'm sure that Highways staff are indeed open to suggestions about modification to the manner of working on the project to further minimise disruption to the public. In which case, perhaps those complaining on Harringay Online might try to contact them.
Paulie - I'm sorry if your experience with giving feedback to the Council has been rather poor. However, please don't take your frustration out on me. I was only seeking to make helpful suggestions, I was certainly not trying to "lecture" you or anyone else. It looks as if someone - no names, no pack-drill - may have got out of bed the wrong side this morning.
