Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Street lighting in Finsbury Park
I was delighted when they put the street lights in Finsbury Park so in the winter I could still cycle home through the park when it was dark. There were so many more cyclists and walkers and it felt safe.
Now when I cycle through from the South Gate up towards Endymion Rd exit there are lights up to the tennis courts then they go off and they don’t come on again until the cafe - leaving a fairly long stretch of pitch black. I asked on the council website for them to fix the lights. They said they had but the lights are still off. Does anybody know if this is a cost cutting exercise?
Thanks!

I reported this issue on the love clean streets app on 27th October and when I went through the park yesterday it seemed to be fixed.

Markc, as you'll appreciate from this discussion thread, you now form part of a priceless group of civic-minded citizens who - in effect - volunteer a little of their own unpaid time to report problems in public spaces; and by doing so keep public authorities on their toes.
You may well know one of my favouite quotes by Louis Brandeis the U.S Supreme Court justice.
"The most important office, and the one which all of us can and should fill, is that of private citizen.
(Surely one of HoL's reasons for existing.)

Clive, Let's please avoid speculating and ascribing views to Cllr Arkell which she may or may not share. If indeed she has any views on the topic.
I've always found you to be a man who has respect for facts and strives to be fair in his judgements of others.
