Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

TfL delays in fixing dangerous junction at Finsbury Park

The accountability gap mentioned—where three Boroughs meet—is wide and deep.

Not least in the gap is conservative Haringey Council, particularly in respect of Eilidh Murray's suggestion that, inaction is too tempting.

The Rebel Council's lack of willingness to co-operate with neighbouring Boroughs is not mentioned in polite society, but it is legendary. In 1624, John Donne wrote that, no man is an island, but in respect of London local Authorities, he might take a different view. Never send to know for whom the bell tolls; but for this council, the poll won't toll the bell for many years to come.

Eilidh Murray also mentions "political will" which is largely absent for transport improvement from our local council.

What Haringey's Cabinet Member for Highways lacks in interest, knowledge, expertise and experience in this area—which affects residents every day—is more than made up for by leader-loyalty.

With the current crony crew—including the Highwaymen—for the foreseeable future, there can be no improvement.

I agree it’s a terrible junction but I’m unsure what Haringey can do about it as it is a TfL managed route and inside the London Borough of Islington.
