Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Why is Crouch End high street so much cleaner than Green Lanes?
I recently noted that people queue for buses in Crouch End but not Green Lanes and wondered why.
On my most recent excursion I noticed how markedly cleaner Crouch End is on a Saturday morning compared to Green Lanes and again wondered why?
Both are very busy on a Saturday morning (Crouch End arguably more so). Both have lots of cafes and restaurants. Both have bus stops.
But Green Lanes is littered with rubbish.
Why is it so?

As far as I know, there was no evaluation of the programme. We were switched from Environment to Enforcement and started going on walkabouts to identify problems, losing the original draw which was the “green” nature of the programme. Then they tried to get us to work with the police which was very far from the original remit of education and discussing solutions to the problems of environmental crimes in our areas. Then, without warning it was shut down (but at least they didn’t want the tea towel back). The council may have other ways to engage now but with no more area assemblies (problematic though they were at times) or community volunteering programmes that I’m aware of (except those in parks), it makes it much harder for people to feel part of the solution.
