<p>Hi Dave, What's the latest situation on this? Since you originally published this I've learned that Caxton Road, and the part of Mayes Road behind it has the only surviving mid nineteenth century houses in central Wood Green. It would seem a shame to lose them.</p>

<p>Cross Rail projects are a way to make land more valuable. The government spends the money (it's own money that it magically borrows from itself but not so much that there's too much around) and the developers reap the profits.</p>
<p>I wish people would see that £20 million over ten years at 17% is the same as £90 million over ten years at 1% and get bloody building!</p>

Cross rail 2 won't happen, we can't afford it if we have to pay anything near 60billion to leave Europe.<br/>
<br/>
Even if it does happen, the earlier recomendation to not include that part of London indefinitely will most probably be accepted and the line won't come to wooders, ally pally, Turnpike Lane or Southgate for decades.<br />
<br />
If the developer signed the deal thinking they were gong to get cross rail 2, I think they just got done.

<p>Well they are selected by our local Labour Party members. When I focus my attention on these selection meetings and bring up any wrong doing I'm not doing it because I like to make a fuss. I'm doing it because it leads EXACTLY to stuff like this.</p>
<p>In most wards in Haringey the Labour Party candidate would be elected if it was a cat. Participation in the selection meetings should be compulsory or you end up with people like them, party apparatchiks.</p>

<p>Because they own a lot of commercial real-estate around Wood Green that will increase in value if they get a crossrail 2 station there. I suspect that it's their part of the bargain for the first phase of the HDV although at £2 billion it's still undervalued IMHO.</p>
<p>Anyway, the idea is that they put it into the HDV bundle valued at "no station" but the actual value is "likely station if we get our way" which will benefit the developers.</p>

<p>Whilst I am generally pro-development (even the large scale unpopular ones) I think to demolish this charming little street would be unforgiveable. I have signed and chipped in a tenner to aid the cause. Good luck.</p>
