Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
West Green Road - Local Safety scheme to include Rumble strips!
Hi all,
I live in the new block Strawbridge Court halfway along West Green Road over the little Tesco. We have recently received notice of the "West Green Road - Local Safety Scheme Proposals". I was hoping to link to an online version, but so far no one has been able to tell me where there is one! So instead here is a link to the map showing the changes to be made:
West Green Road of course does need some work and some of the ideas look good, although possibly do not go far enough and ignore at least one dangerous junction (West Green Road with Langham Road, which is also next to a School).
The main thing though that worries me is the inclusion of Rumble strips along the road. I already get vibrations from the road that sometimes make the cups in my kitchen cupboards rattle a bit if they're touching each other, so anything that causes additional vibrations would be awful!
I am waiting for Haringey council to get back in contact with me to clarify some points, plus to let me know where else in Haringey they have used Rumble strips on residential streets. For now though - I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on where else there are Rumble strips that we can visit and view, plus any ideas on tactics for having an impact during consultations of this type?
We have a group of residents working together, and are planning a full Residents Association soon, but will not have one before this consultation ends on 18th November.
If anyone here wants more info either contact me or email Haringey on frontline.consultation@haringey.gov.uk
Any ideas welcome!

Soooo,
Regarding West Green Rd, what are we going to do about it? I would like the 20 mph zone extended back up to the crossing by Downhills Park Rd, seems beyond stupid to not slow down vehicles until they're halfway through the shops. I have no idea how to effectively engage with council, but happy to help, maybe we could gather some petitions outside the Tesco and Sainsburys, if that is something council would respond to?

Does anyone know when the 20mph default speed is coming in? LBH has decided to do that, maybe they need to pass some by-laws to do it. As other neighbouring boroughs - Islington, Hackney, more? - already do it, and have started fining transgressors, it makes sense to get moving on it.
We could lobby for WG Rd, especially the eastern end, to be designated as a 20mph town centre, like Green Lanes. It's a narrow road with loads of activity, two 41 buses trying to cross becomes a joke. It has been known for people to get road management taken seriously by endlessly crossing and re-crossing with buggies and small children, at rush hour. I'm thinking this may persuade commuters to get off Broad Lane....

Well I'm up for some work on this, plus I would think our residents association (once setup would be willing to put their voices behind it. Does anyone know where we would start with a campaign like this?
