Roads with no traffic is a beautiful thing to behold in a metro city of millions hustling and bustling with motor vehicles. If only...but the genie is out of the box and the greater good of the society we live in should come before the needs of the few, and I would class the few as the people wanting to keep WR permamently closed. Until town/road planning create roads to move traffic effieciently or reduce traffic by law or some substantial method we should be reasonable and not seek to inflict pain on others because "i'm oright jack".
I would also have less empathy for those that moved to the ladders knowing that the roads are narrow and suffer with parking and traffic issues but now complain when they clearly moved into a known condition.
You may the yet have to eke out some empathy or even sympathy since many who live here moved in before or long before all the traffic management changes drove volumes of traffic to the Ladder. You need to know how and when we got to where we are in Harringay before being so stingy with your kindness Ian.
Hugh, as I said I would have "less" empathy for those that "knowingly" moved into the condition. As for the others that moved there before major changes, I obviously excluded them from my comment and would naturally have empathy. I moved into the surrounding area 10 years ago and I may be contradicted for inaccuracy but the ladders and WR were of a similar state then.
Each to their own and there is no right or wrong to where we choose to live but for me what is around me wholes equal measure to the quality and stature of the bricks and mortar.
The estate agents can talk up the area and hence more sales and more price increase but for me narrow roads, one way systems, resident parking, difficult to park, getting stuck behind dust bin trucks on a one way system and maybe of late more transient residents did not appeal. I went to an N17 location that had plenty of green space and opposite to the ladders. In any event we live in a growing and busy city and we cannot avoid traffic on the roads just to push pain onto someone else.
