Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Please respond to Wood Green Area Action Plan consultation
As many of you may know Haringey Council are planning major development for Wood Green Town Centre. This includes the creation of a new "primary route” for traffic to bypass the Wood Green Town Centre by funnelling traffic up and down Station Road and Mary Neuner Road. This will lead directly into Wightman Road and the Ladder.
The document here gives information, links and an email address for comments to Haringey Council; it also provides a cut-off-and-post letter.
The Council DEADLINE FOR COMMENTS is 31 March - THIS FRIDAY!
Please act and protect our streets from even more traffic!
Full details of the council's "action plan" are available here
Thank you!

Hi Karen, apologies that I've only just seen this.
Zena (my wife Zena Brabazon for people who don't know) has been out all day and as far as I know hasn't seen your request as she was in a Scrutiny Meeting all this afternoon. She is now out again.Maybe you could arrange to chat with Zena over the weekend? I assume you have both our landline and her mobile.
When you and I were both councillors I know that planning staff were not totally rigid about deadlines for consultation returns. Especially when residents had requests for basic information to enable them to make a proper judgement.

"Primary Route" is an odd name for a pedestrian route, it has quite a specific meaning in road planning i.e. an A-road. The Action Plan is vague in parts - either the council isn't yet sure what is possible, or has some plans which they don't yet want to divulge. The new east-west route is described a couple of times as pedestrian but also as a means to open up Wood Green to the west of the borough to make it the borough "capital" - I wonder if there are feasibility studies underway to make the Penstock Tunnel accessible to motor vehicles?
The new north-south primary route - Mary Neuner - will certainly carry motor vehicles. Maybe a shared cycle and pedestrian path will be built alongside it. Even if the term "primary route" was mistaken, I'd like to know what measures are planned to prevent it becoming a major route for motorised traffic once all the new development is in place?
The route runs through the middle of this aerial view (to get your bearings, Ally Pally cricket pitch is top left, Duckett Common bottom right; click the image to enlarge):

Brent Cross will be North London's destination of choice long before this gets off the ground, IMHO
