Don't expect anything useful from Cllr Ibrahim Ali, as I have emailed him multiple times recently about the lack of enforcement of the Bounds Green LTN over the last three years, and he has ignored me, and ignored emails from a local Cllr too.

Haringey just don't care about cycling.

Haringey just don't care about cycling.

———

The council do care, or may say they care.

Just not enough to do anything meaningful.

There is not a single example of world-class cycling infrastructure in the Borough. Anywhere.

By contrast, this council boasts of Finsbury Park (in the Ward) as a world-class gig venue. For their customer. As of yesterday, their customer Live Nation is a convicted monopolist and their event is not world-class.

What was the outcome of this?

Is Haringey set to be a new walking and cycling Nirvana?

Haringey? An Active Travel Nirvana?

On yer bike!

Earlier this month, the council's swaggering Events Team lost the Neo Nazi rapper who was scheduled in July to headline for three nights at Wireless.

The council leader is a fan of Grime "music" and Major Events in Finsbury Park, but the Nirvana that the Events Team might want, would be the band.
