Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Turnpike Lane and Manor House exits closed: Update .
This from Joanna McCartney’s office
Dear James,
Joanne has now received the following response from TfL:
"I appreciate the frustration caused, particularly as these closures have been in place for an extended period.
At Turnpike Lane station, the Ducketts Common subway was closed following flooding caused by a leak from a Thames Water main. Thames Water has now completed its works and the residual water seeping into the subway drainage has ceased. Before the subway can reopen, the drainage channels and subway require deep cleaning, which is currently being scheduled. We understand this will be soon and we expect the subway to reopen once these works have been completed.
At Manor House station, the position remains unchanged and works are still required to several subway exits. We continue to progress the necessary repairs.
We will continue to monitor progress at both locations and will provide further updates, including anticipated reopening dates, once these have been confirmed. I do apologise for the inconvenience caused and would like to thank your constituents for their patience."
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if Joanne can be of any further assistance.
Best wishes,
Debbie

Well done for asking. Looks like this will need semi-regular chasing.

I spoke to a member of staff at Manor House a couple of weeks ago and they said to keep complaining to TfL. I did send another email but I haven't had a reply, not even the usual AI response.
My husband also asked the staff and they said a technical report had been carried out but they didn't know when the needed work would be carried out.

"The squeaky wheel" does seem to get oiled eventually. Can you share the email address you've been writing to?

I was going to get back to Debbie and tell TfL to at least take down the sign at Turnpike Lane that says Temporary.
Regards,
