<p>I'm in Camden most days and it's no better there. People still just leave the bike wherever they finish the journey. The scooters are in bays and no-one seems to use them.</p>
<p>As an aside, related to a discussion we had somewhere else on here, I tried the LimePrime but still get charged for all rides, regardless of length. Not sure what you are signed up to but the 21p a minute makes Lime very expensive.</p>

<p>Have the police moved onto new alternative forms of transport or are they just sitting in traffic as well? Not sure I’ve seen many police suddenly sporting fast e-bikes in Haringey in preparation of this. </p>

<p>Lets face it, Hackney and Islington have done just that.</p>

<p>So, lets move on and start a campaign to cap the chimneys the boroughs Log burners, that will bring down winter pollution levels as well and benefit all of us as well.</p>

<p>This was confirmed on the Haringey council customer services phone line (that isn't advertised on the google Haringey page).</p>

<p>Hi Mike,<br/> A suggestion about the LTN discussions. You may find it useful to give your cabinet support officer a task.<br/> Harringay Online website currently has a couple of discussion threads about the LTNs. Among the always reasonable and creative contributions (;-) there many points raised which may be new and unusual and/or worth extra attention. <br/> <br/> If you haven’t seen these threads, you might guess there are pages and pages. Which is why I’m suggesting that a cabinet support person could speed-read them. Then make a list by cut-&-pasting distinct and useful points. Looking out especially for unintended LTN consequences which may not have occurred to the consultants. E.g. today someone mentions that as well as “Blue Light” services what about other similar services having exemptions?</p>

<p>Rory — I’m not going to re-post all the stuff I’ve previously said ( you can find it on this and several other threads if you want), but, in essence, it’s:</p>
<p>Restrict N Circular/GL traffic flow in conjunction with TfL and DfT</p>
<p>Ban parking on GL, Arena to Salisbury</p>
<p>Put in northbound bus lane in GL and prioritise buses at junctions</p>
<p>Electrify all Haringey council vehicles; ban Veolia, DPD, BT, etc from operating across the whole of London unless they use electric vehicles.</p>
<p>Set up lamp-post EV charging points across the whole of Haringey and negotiate a favourable tariff for residents.</p>
<p>Nationally, an overhaul of train fares, services, reliability and overcrowding is desperately needed to make commuting by train a viable alternative to cars. The government ban on petrol vehicles needs to be backed up by a nationwide state grid of EV charging points and a national tariff, not left to piecemeal and haphazard provision by “the market”, so that people know they’ll arrive once they set off.</p>
<p>In London, there needs to be co-ordinated action across all boroughs, not random outbursts of restrictions where councils have to retaliate for what’s happened next door (cf Bounds Green/Enfield LTNs) and kick the problem down the road to the next borough. It needs joined-up and holistic thinking, not intermittent disruption and ideas designed just to put people off by making their journeys harder and hoping they’ll do something else.</p>
<p>Oh, yes — and it requires money. Lots of it. (Walthamstow Village LTN cost £20 million; imagine that at scale across London) If the government was serious about this, funds would be available, but they’re not. So we get CCTV and flowerpots that don’t solve anything but only cost peanuts. Lead from the front and people will follow; tell everyone else to do something but do nothing yourself (council failure) and you won’t achieve anything.</p>
