Ha! Good idea. Just don't stand outside as the fumes will kill you.

See you in the Becky?!

Sounds good - if we can all fit between the barriers?!

Decided to come over to this thread now, not much activity on the old one ;-). Does anyone know what the sign at Burgoyne means? It's showing a sign saying priority for drivers southbound, but no space for driving... And obviously we know it's closed. Also the position of the closure is different from map posted, it's between cavendish and Burgoyne instead of further north than cavendish. It would be so handy if they could send us an accurate map so we knew how to get around the ladder.

Whilst talking to a neighbour on the Wightman end of Raleigh Rd, we both watched a Golf Polo mount the pavement from Wightman Rd and squeeze between the two pavement bollards and zoom off down Raleigh Rd with the two guys in it laughing. And certainly not observing any speed limit. A number of cars have gone up Hampden and turned round, and come back down at speed, obviously frustrated. Bearing in mind some (most) residents were unaware these roads at the top of the ladder are now two-way, I dread what will happen when some one isn't looking the 'wrong' way when crossing.

I just bumped into the key Haringey Council guy for this project. He was walking the beat with two Network Rail guys and said they can see the problems and are aiming to address then asap - tonight if they can get their contractors out.

Watching from abroad on holidays can anyone post photos of blockades around Beresford / Allison / Hewitt? Thanks.

Try these photos - you can see the temporary ones by Beresford from mid-morning. The final ones look like those in the last picture.
