Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Remove Parking From the Green Lanes
📣🌳🚌 *Make the Green Lanes cleaner, safer and more welcoming* 🌳🚌📣
The Green Lanes could be so much better - easier to walk, quicker by bus, safer to cross, and a more inviting place to spend time. *Removing parking on both sides from Harringay Green Lanes Station to Turnpike Lane would open the street up* creating clearer views, smoother journeys, and a greener, more attractive high street.
Following on from the public meeting last week, we want to show the Council that we care.
📋Please add your name to this petition for a brighter, safer and more vibrant Green Lanes.

Declan, how much time did you spend thinking this plan through? My feeling is that the issue is deserving of a lot more thought and consideration.Â

It’s been under consideration, discussed at public meetings and had proposals drawn up and filed away a number of times since I moved here in 1984.  Some action after 40 odd years would be good.Â

Not the same as removing cars, but making a street less car dominated:

Research appears to show a win-win situation both for residents and commercial premises.Â

HACKNEY is literally streets ahead.
And in transport policy, our neighbouring Borough is least one decade ahead.
- For years, Hackney had the benefit of an expert at Cabinet level
- A Chartered Environmentalist
- A mover and a shaker
In the field of Climate, Environment & Transport, among the Haringey Cabinet & Haringey council staff unfortunately there is no one of the calibre of the excellent former Hackney Cllr. Jon Burke.
Would that there were!
Unless there is a full-scale peasants' rebellion at the "rebel" Borough, we are doomed to years of more of the same.

Jon Burke resigned in disgrace just days after Hackney Council announced that no fewer than 21 individual complaints against him were being referred to their Standards Committee. He did the meme on December 31st and said he was leaving to 'spend more time with his family'.
Despite his departure he continued to advise Mike Hakata on LTNs and traffic issues in Haringey.Â
You do us a service Clive in constantly reminding us that no matter how negatively we regard the current policy makers at Haringey Council, there are those with even less of a clue sniping loudly from the sidelines.

Allegations by whom ? I saw the FOI inline but there's no detail about the complaints. Mr Burke was abrasive on social media i noticed. He was a hate figure for the motoring lobby too!Â
Mete Coban seems to have good interpersonal skills, a nice guy by all accounts. I guess that's why the Mayor snaffled him.Â

Mete Coban, as an adult, constructed a complex and entirely fictional past as an elite footballer. His lies led to him being profiled by a Turkish newspaper after he claimed to be Real Madrid's latest signing. A fantasist and a fraud. Both the Times and the Daily Mail ran stories on it earlier this year. Second chances though, right?

Shocking. You are very well informed. Remarkably well informed and keen to share!Â
-

I think I’d resign after receiving a letter like this. Makes you wonder who was sending in the complaints?
-
-
From memory, the more interesting discussion at the time was around who wrote the note.
-
-
A written and delivered threat to kill is merely an "interesting discussion" ?
All that a few in the pro-traffic lobby have been able to contribute, are threats of violence and criminal damage.
-
-
Given Burke's many deceptions and outright falsehoods, yes there was plenty of discussion about the 'threat'.Â
As for contributions, we're all still mouth agape in anticipation of yours Clive... or are we really only going to get an 'it's not rocket science'?Â
