Just seen the banner and my opinion is that its pretty damn crap.
Why?
You still see much of the shoddy paintwork on the bridge.
The banner is all wrinkled.
The overall design is so crap.
I could go on but I'll give everyone else chance instead.
Oh well.

As usual, instead of wondering, isn't it better to ask?
The bridge is owned by Network Rail, of course.
Just being lazy Alan and thinking out loud.
Dear Gina Adamou, Karen Alexander, David Shmitz.
Would you be so kind as to let me know how much these banners have cost, Paul Simon, Hawes and Curtis and Gokyuzu.
Could you also plese let me know how much it has costed LBoH?
Could you also please explaine whay LBoH has agreed to the advertising and why you feel the banners have made the bridge prettier.
I look foreward to your responses.
Kind Regards
Tunbridge Wells
TW, by "ask" I had in mind old-fashioned email.
As you've now added some interesting questions about the extent of Network Rail's responsibility and the legal powers of local councils, I suggest you start with Cllr Nilgun Canver the cabinet member with the remit for Environmental Services. (That Department has a new fancy schmancy name which I've forgotten.)
nilgun.canver@haringey.gov.uk
By all means copy-in the three Harringay Ward councillors using the same format. (Though with the right spelling for David Schmitz.)
P.S. And perhaps add the question John_D asks.
"Building a Better Community"
It will be interesting to know how much advertising revenue this raises, but even if it is as much as £500,000 p.a., it doesn't make the visage one jot more appealing.
IMO, it is an eyesore. The council's banner looks like it was designed by a committee, with lots of little bits and pieces to it (if a sign has to go up, surely "Welcome to Harringay Green Lanes" would be enough?)
Is this really Building a Better Community as it claims? Is it suitable for drivers who should be watching the road? Same question for the (ugly) advertising.
Is no common space sacred? Like un-addressed graffiti, this mess suggests that the residents and the local authorities just don't care.
A railway bridge is part of the background urban landscape. If it is noticed at all, it should be in a way that shows civic pride. I'm surprised this has been allowed in a prominent location.
