All this surveillance of our traffic, surely a congestion fee for driving through our Home Zone?
Time for our elected council members to be more vested locally and less omnipresent politically. There is too much in Harringay that needs attention. If it’s achieved elsewhere let’s learn how they got it and why.
Trees, planters, community hubs, improved walking routes and connections, street furniture, street bike pumps, charging points at our supermarkets, electric car pools, there’s a great list we can build and action.
If we take our urban filters off it’s apparent. Dangerous crossings on Frobisher Road with Green Lanes. No speed cameras to keep to twenty, no pedestrian priority, Green Lanes and Wightman is the boroughs dumping ground for servicing traffic, we will have to tax it, and ring fence revenue to a local infrastructure Levi to improvements to our area. Feel free to add your pocket park or area that needs redressing or repair.

Haringey has had a CCTV system for years
Plus Traffic Monitoring cameras
Like most other Boroughs
Police have cameras for traffic Control and vehicle checks
People have cameras for Home Security as do most businesses , joys of todays World
Most Enforcements and Medical Services also have cameras on vehicles and staff. Following attacks
Brought about , when offenders state prove it
Joys of Todays World
If you live on a major road e.g. Green Lanes or Wightman Road then expect traffic. House prices reflect that traffic is there.
Should the terminally stupid phone zombies be protected? Nope in my opinion, stop protecting the stupid from wiping themselves out.
Where is proof that Haringey ( Borough ) has less Car owners than other Borough's ?
Borough roads are parked solid with vehicles. Be they private owned or company vehicles
Especially with the growth of Home delivery services
Going to be interesting in coming weeks, when Council enlarges length of Disabled Bays. Which will result in some areas having even less parking spaces. Even for those that are forced to buy Annual Permits
https://www.haringey.gov.uk/sites/haringeygovuk/files/19821_borough... Last page. You're welcome. (Search car ownership.)
Comes back link broken ?
Copied and pasted from last page:
“Car ownership
The 2001 Census shows that 46% of households in Haringey do not have access to a car, compared with 37% of households in London. Map 11 shows that car ownership is higher in the west of the borough. As is to be expected, car ownership is lower in the poorer east of the borough. However, it must also be noted that there are more tube and train stations in the east which may reduce the need for car ownership.”
More recent figures, from the 2011 Census site (my calculations).
52% of Haringey households have no access to a car, compared to 41% of households in London. The number of no-car households has increased. The Haringey/London ratio remains the same as in 2001, at 1.24:1.
You'll have to wait a bit for up-to-date figures from the Census just conducted...
Please explain how most parking spaces in the Borough are occupied . Not forgetting a growing number live in flates. Most not having parking spaces
I don’t think parking is the problem or the issue, Bob. Feels like a bit of a straw man. You asked about car ownership. We answered. The borough has fewer cars and lower car ownership but more traffic, with all the negative aspects that entails. A Low Traffic Neighbourhood would be to the advantage of the local community and impact mostly people delivering nothing to our borough other than congestion and pollution. Car parking isn’t really much of a hot topic.
