Harringay desperately needs a traffic and parking review, we have got to the stage that the amount of traffic coming down the ladder roads really needs to be dealt with. I will be writing to officers and the lead member because we can no longer I believe sustain this inequitable distribution of traffic in the area.
This morning on my way to work I witnessed some amazing community action and spirit from businesses on Green Lanes. An elderly man was hit by a car turning right out of Pemberton Rd. Whilst I didn't see the accident I did see the shop owners come out and one young woman from the jewellers recorded the driver who we initially thought had abandoned his car and fled the scene. The driver did come back as he had gone to get help, however the locals were not taking any chances. I looked like a leg injury and the police assured me he would be ok, however it could have been far worse.
I am receiving emails from residents angry at the level of traffic coming down their roads which is impacting on their houses and quality of lives. I would really be interested to hear more residents views on the issue.

That's road pricing in disguise. With fuel rationing, everyone switches to an electric vehicle. Congestion problem back to square one.
Not really, given the limited range of electric vehicles. I couldn't guarantee to get to Maidstone and back ( my weekly visit )
This is not an argument against electric vehicles.

Personally, i think its more interesting that Emine has chosen to come here on HoL to broach this traffic issue. Thats great, thanks Emine! The alternative will be little groups going off behind the scenes trying to broker deals that pander to their vested interests, which is exactly how Harringay has got to this traffic distribution that we have today. So IMHO we should all be trying to encourage Emine and to foster this sort of open inclusive engagement that she's started here.
Absolutely agree. Too many cars on Pemberton Road. Also they frequently beep their horns or have really load music playing, which is very disturbing for residents
Emina where have you got to with this issue please? I wondered if there are any relevant updates.
All the best
Sally
