Anybody else noticed the disaster at the North End of Duckett's Common near the tube entrance?
When the plans for the Wood Green development came in, some trendy Old Street urban redesign company proposed taking a section of Duckett's common and replacing it with a flower bed. A few members of the Friends' Group objected - and stated that it was a nice idea but given its position (people use it as a cutthrough to the tube) and the fact that it would not get enough maintenance, it was a really bad plan.
Having moved the fence, taking a section of the Common away, we are left with the a terrible looking bit of scrub land. It even looks like somebody has had a small fire on there.
Oran Ezuz (the designer) and his company East Architecture Landscape Urban Design Ltd should be a little bit embarrassed about the way it's turned out. As should Haringey Parks Services and the Council who have let it get in such a state.
I wonder if we can we do the sensible thing and move the fence back to bring this section back into the fold of Duckett's Common?
