Perhaps if you doubled Haringey''s annual budget you might achieve half of the above...where are you suggesting the money comes from?

I think the nature of a wish list is that it doesn't involve drawing up detailed costings. Also some of this is TFL or could be community intiatives funded through bids. I think it's important to have a bit of vision and I enjoyed reading this list. There is a better way than to be than constantly in a state of protest at what is being done to a community by others. Dare to dream?

All perfectly achievable objectives, with cooperation and initiative. If there is no interest there may be no political appetite, that's the bigger question, those in the West of the borough think all the money's going on us and vice versa, a ward in the balance of power gets political attention and things done.

I think perhaps you mean a wish list rather than a bucket list? I don't think Harringay is on its way out just yet.

True Harringay is awesomely alive.

My bucket list for Harringay may been better, but it's all metaphysical.

I've always fancied a village green on the 'lanes'
I used to get so p***ed off when Paul Simon started waxing lyrical with 'At the heart of Harringay village'
Always thought they owed us a 'Heart of the Village' but they keep building on any suitable site.
I thought the coleseum site would have been good and the Curtis and Hawes site would be just about perfect.
Cricket and warm beer on a summer afternoon anyone?
Oh well! Back to reality.

I agree Andy. I've been championing this off and on for the last decade. We could create a space about the size of Crouch End's "village green" in the corner of the old cricket pitch in Finsbury Park without impinging on the space used by the baseball players. It would be great to have somewhere close to the town centre where neighbourhood stuff could happen.

Yes, I remember. But I always thought that the park was just a little too far from 'the heart' of our bit of GL
