nd why your eyewitness account is not given due weight in addition to the observations of the officer making the assessment. I wonder, did anyone actually ask you for exact location where you saw the water "almost at the top of the banks".
It's probably my ignorance but I don't follow what difference it makes that the New River is an "artificial channel". It seems to me that any channel - artificial or not- can fill to the brim and then overflow in particular circumstances. And that includes a culvert or a street drain into which rainwater flows. Heavy continuous rain for several days saturating the ground (so rainwater runs off); raised water levels; plus a leak from a watermain seem a possible sequence of events.

Dear Councillors
I can confirm that we received a call from a resident concerned about a flood risk from the New River at the junction of Hampden Road and Wightman Road. An officer was sent to make an assessment, and arrived within an hour of the initial report. At that point, the New River appeared to be well within its banks and there was no sign of any flood risk.
The only issue noted was a water main burst on Hampden Road, which was discharging a significant amount of water into the gullies in Wightman Road. This was reported to Thames Water in the normal way.
A follow up visit took place at 0900 the following morning which confirmed there was no change in the situation.
The New River is not a river in the sense of a natural watercourse. It is an artificial channel supplying water to reservoirs in London. As such it is not considered to be likely to cause flooding.
Kind regards
Andrew Meek

st that Falkland is added to the list of roads that require surveillance. Is it possible to arrange some surveillance during the weekday mornings between 6.30-8am?
In addition to every oversized vehicle you can think of, I have observed very large earth moving trucks using Falkland which are headed towards the Hornsey depot construction site (I've also seen them leave the site and travel down Hampden Road toward Green Lanes). Not only should they not be using these roads, they travel above the speed limit and don't slow over the speed humps which cause my house to shake and produce such a commotion as their wheels lock up after flying over the humps. Is it possible to arrange a call to Volkerfitzpatrick, to press upon their drivers/contractors to cease using the ladder roads as a short cut?
And finally, does anyone know how the 7.5t weight restriction is determined? Why 7.5t? My previous residential road was 5t. Can we look into reducing the weight limit? Might this deter more lorries from the ladder roads?…

Traffic volumes. Where is it all coming from
When they looked at what was moving through the area they were able to identify journeys that started or ended in the study area. So that is someone leaving from a place in the area or arriving and ending their journey in the area - local journeys in other words rather than just passing through. Of these only 17% involved the use of a car or van. The remaining journeys were undertaken on foot (over a third), by bus, rail/tube or bike. I would expect the emphasis then to be on what was being put in place for those making 83% of non-car journeys
Traffic speeds. On Wightman 1 in 3 cars exceeded 20mph. On Hampden it was a staggering 1 in 2. The traffic data collected some of the speeds captured on Ladder Roads exceeding 60mph. Where are the concrete proposals to deal with his? We have road humps and road narrowing at the moment and this patently doesn’t work
Pollution
Turnpike Lane, Green Lanes, Frobisher Road, Endymion Road, Wollaston Road and Willoughby Road all failed the meet NO2 air pollution targets. While buses are a major contributor to NO2 levels on GL and Turnpike the same cannot be said for the other roads so they suffer because of high traffic volumes. Where are the proposals to reduce overall traffic volumes, with the majority of traffic passing through the area, to counter this?
I’m certain the consultants didn’t miss these issues. The report reads like possible solutions to these problems have been left out.…
e it was established as the Wood Green & District Hebrew Congregation.
It was there from 1910-1913. It then moved to Clarence House, Tottenham Lane, where it stayed until 1920.
Its final move was to Wightman Road where it erected a temporary building in 1920 and it was renamed to the Hornsey and Wood Green Affiliated Synagogue.

The temporary building was replaced by a permanent one which opened in 1959. The synagogue remained there until its closure in 1987 (according to Jewish Communities and Records) (or possibly 1976, according to British History Online).
I first wrote about this building a couple of years ago when it showed up in an aerial photo I was commenting on.
At the end of last year I flagged up how the synagogue had been affected by the country's last ant-Jewish riots.
But only this week have I been able to get hold of a set of photos of the 1959 building, taken I believe before it closed.

(The numbering of the east side of Wightman between Raleigh and Hampden is strange. Only two numbers seem to be allocated- 278B and 280A. 278 & 278A are south of Hampden; 280 is north of Raleigh).

my stuff but bless him he was terrified they'd take his license away from him and asked me to delete the photo (which I refused) and who I worked for.
Members of the public are more than entitled to photograph/record a public area. Can you imagine what Princess Di would have done if this had not been the case? Just do it.
After a long campaign my road is pretty quiet now but I suspect they've all just moved on to Raleigh Rd. I saw an O'Donovan's skip coming out of there on Monday morning but was running late for my train so couldn't take a picture or get the registration.
Just out of interest, which road are you on?…

stomers to leave, went behind the counter and lunged at the man with a knife.
The 33-year-old defended himself, hitting Morrison over the head and pushing him out of the shop during the incident, at 7.30am on August 24.
The worker suffered several cuts to his face and head in the struggle, and Morrison received a head wound.
He was traced from blood found on a hat he was wearing that was knocked off in the struggle, and was arrested at home on September 9.
He admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm and was given an extended sentence at Wood Green Crown Court on Thursday, December 2, of four years plus an extra period on licence of one year and 82 days.
