Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Cycling along Green Lanes
There is growing impatience and frustration about the Council’s lack of action on improving cycling and pedestrian safety on Green Lanes.* This mounting concern was covered in a recent piece in the Ham and High (see link below) about this and the growing discontent from cyclist about the safety of cycling along Green Lanes – either as a commuter, or just travelling to the local shops and services.

As Trump would say…. “Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
* and elsewhere across the borough. All the cycle routes from surrounding boroughs stop abruptly at the Haringey border!

I got hit-and-runned on my bike on Turnpike Lane a few year back when a car came from behind and drove into me.
Nobody including the police were interested.

12 years ago, the worst roads for air pollution in the Borough was reported here.
Haringey Council cares about air pollution … but cares not enough to do much about it.
For 20 years, Haringey Council has strongly supported car-owner rights and pay lip service to cycling.

THE Highwaymen and their mistresses at Haringey Council are likely to feel content that they have resisted any meaningful change to this conduit of toxic fumes, for some 20 years.
Has it been shopkeeper lobbying that has maintained this open sewer of pollution?
Among the neighbouring Boroughs, Haringey continues as an island bastion of car-owner entitlement. And—despite PR, promises and publications—with the current crew there is Net Zero prospect of change. The attention of the Cabinet remains focused on Borough of Culture 2027.
