he pavements are improved, not a good time to be driving - or expecting an on-time bus journey this week. Getting out of Sainsbury's looks tough too.
As a consequence, both the Endymion Road and Harringay Green Lanes Station bus stops are closed northbound. No sign of replacement paving yet at the latter - I've asked Haringey Council why reopening the bus stop doesn't appear to be a priority for Ringway Jacobs, the shiny new roads contractor to the council.…

In order 1. Homebase/TK Maxx; 2. McDonalds/Sainsbury's petrol; 3. Argos/Next; 4. Sainsbury's. At each exit cars interleave, say one by one or 1/2: 1/2.

ling lane and re Sainsbury's. I didn't include the Sainsbury's issue because it should be (!) short-term. There was a space to write any issues not covered in the other box. Did you write it there?…
insburys traffic from the rest of the Arena traffic - no idea how it could be done and it's one of those that if it could, why wasn't it done inthe first place?…
