Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Gardens streets get £350,000 to slow traffic and improve streets
The following from the Gardens Residents Association:
The Gardens streets have been granted £350k over the two-year period of 2012-2014 for a DIY street project, which involves adding design features to the streets to make them safer, slow traffic, more attractive, greener, and environmentally friendly.
The streets involved are all the “Gardens” Street, including the cross streets. The bollards will be taken into consideration, with the aim to reduce their maintenance cost.
The funding was awarded after being recommended as part of Haringey Council's Local Implementation Plan. GRA campaigner Andy Newman commented on another recent HoL thread about cars being raced around the Gardens streets, "One of the reasons why we have been selected for DIY Streets money is to do with this issue".

Why not barricade them off and turn it into a private estate?....Oh, I forgot, they've already done that.

The other reason is because Andy seems to have some weird power over our local politicians. He's very charming but I'm sure it's not just plain charm.

You're probably right John - it's not just pure charm. It's probably due to a huge amount of hard work, determination, persistence and dedication. Thanks Andy!

Odd that there isn't enough money to make effective, the 'speed cushions' on woodlands park road where there is a primary school at one end and a Childrens Centre at the other. Current speed cushions are so flat motorists don't have to slow down and will overtake over them.
This even after Tim Hannah had in writing, promise from the council to redo them, who now have no record of such promise. Yet, there is level of money to spend on the garden roads which already aren't accessible from St Anne's Road?

Some one ought to take a look at the chaos these closed streets are causing in Salisbury Road and up the Ladder.

You'll have Ben Addy from Sustrans working on this project. His work on the Turnpike Lane DiY Streets project has been outstanding and he's a really nice guy. Good Luck with the project.

I think the point is more, how is it that the Gardens get all this funding and the ladder gets nothing?
