I can't find where it is so your question is a little open... to say the least.

I think they are aesthetically very nice. I would question why so much is being spent on them, but if I lived nearby I would be happy to see something above and beyond the cheapest option going in (so my questioning might appear a little mean spirited). To be fair, they were smart enough to organise, get a grant and implement the works, so to a degree we should say fair play!
With that, a friend and I both commented that we were sad that the raised carriageway at the junctions of the rung roads (and gardens too???) with Green Lanes as part of the GL regeneration were simply black tarmac. It would have been very nice to see them in the style the Gardens traffic calming are being done in. Either way a massive trick was missed as they should have been done in something that differentiated the 'normal' carriageway from the raised elements as the objective was to tell a driver they are entering a shared space that was on a level with the pedestrian areas of the street. A different colour tarmac? As it is the driver hardly notices the raised carriageway. Pity!

Oh so this is in the gardens. Justin it toally IS Pork Barrel politics. Nilgun did this all by herself, without help from Zena and David. She filled out the paperwork and used her position as a cabinet member to push the grant request through. This is why we need a "cabinet member" in Harringay.
Agree about the Green Lanes raised junctions. Could they have been any cheaper?
