Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Removal of railings along Harringay Passage (at junctions with the roads)
Apart from Adam Coffman was anyone else aware this work - removal of railings along Harringay Passage (at junctions with the roads) - was happening?
I know it was discussed at the first meeting of the Harringay Passage Group (yet to be constituted) in January, but wasn't aware a decision had been made between the council & a few residents that this work was to go ahead.

If I was Haringey Council, and thought that HarringayOnline was a horrible thing and wanted to stir... #justsaying

I've just returned from collecting my child from NHP.
Great for filtering kids across
Both phrases are indeed interesting. The act of collecting usually has to do with gathering disparate but related elements together with a view to assembling or re-assembling into a pleasing whole. That of filtering surely has to do with pureeing or liquefaction. I trust the dis-assembling of NHP railings hasn't had such instant and tragic results.

Hey, what are you chaps and chapesses railing on about? Don't you know there's a war on? Any old iron will do.
BTW, as the late Brendan Behan was wont to point out, if you want to start a revolution the first item on the agenda of the First Meeting must always be THE SPLIT. It usually happens within a week.

According to the Child Accident Prevention Trust children up to the age of 9 cannot safely judge distance, speed or how long they need to cross a road. I would go further and say many children up to the age of 12 cannot do this.
As you know, Falkland Road has yellow zigzag lines on the school side and I have seen plenty of cars use this space to overtake a stopped car, bin lorry etc. Now the railings have been removed, some drivers could easily now mount the pavement just past the sloped part of the table top (or whatever it's called).
I have already seen a car parked on the pavement by the post box as it is no longer obvious where the road ends and the pavement begins (they are at the same level on both sides of the junction with the passage).

Oh, Ant. How disappointing you're glibly dismissing different opinion to yours as "hysteria". The point most are making is that these have been removed without consultation, investigation, or expert recommendations. Which is surely a silly thing to do by any reckoning? Possibly on the undemocratic whim of one resident, which is, well, a bit smelly. And the stakes are higher than most, and feelings running high, because it's almost opposite a school. I think NHP will probably get the casting vote here. And I, for one, am perfectly happy with that...

Thats nonsense and mean Rory, and you're kind of making the point for me that this has become hard to discuss.

Well, it's not nonsense, that's what you posted. (Then deleted. As is your prerogative.) A subject does becomes hard to discuss, yes, when opposing views are described as "hysteria", which was rather my point. I'm sorry if you thought I was mean, that wasn't my intention. Let's pick this up tomorrow morning, eh?
