Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
St Ann's Meadow
St Ann's Meadow is a strip of land between Finsbury Park Avenue (by Sainsbury's) and Hermitage Road. It is wooded and full of wildlife. The owner is cutting down all the vegetation and tall trees (27 May).
The Council will not interfere as it is private land.
The Health and Safety Executive will not interfere, even though the people employed for doing the work are not using protective equipment.
About 40 houses abut this land.
Given all that is said about the benefit of greenery from many points of view, what could be done to stop it?

Bats fly about over the gardens in Finsbury Park Avenue. Let's hope they don't roost in the area being cleared. See 2010 development plan; a lot of the slope is too narrow and too steep to build on, it's not clear why the trees on that strip are being cut down.

I would have thought that if bats roost in the area they would be protected and it would be illegal to disturb them.

Hugh. I'm glad to see that you joining the objectors to the practice of renaming as land-developerese. Though I guess it could be worse. Or better: Stadium Rubbles?
