Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Please Help Us Raise £700 to Fund a Leaflet Printrun
For those of you who are active on HoL, you'll be very much aware of Haringey Council's transport study. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for all Harringay's residents to have their say on how best to reduce our excessive traffic burden. To that end, we want to ensure that all residents are FULLY informed on the options available.
Unlike Haringey Council, we do not have a juggernaut PR system pushing our message, or the money to pay for it. So we are asking for your help. We want to raise money to fund a print run of leaflets for Wightman and all the Ladder roads, plus other events to raise awareness.
If you'd like to help us raise funds for the second phase of our campaign; to create a safer, healthier, happier Harringay for everyone, then please click the link below which will take you to our Just Giving page.
Thank you.
Yes, I would like to help raise £700 to fund leaflets If you'd like more information, or get involved, please check out our Living Wightman Blog or Facebook Page.

Even when you pick and choose a picture to support your case, all it shows is that at least half the cars currently parked on Wightman will have to find space somewhere on the Ladder rungs.

(Not sure what case you think my picture supports but ) That's not true John, parking is rarely an issue on Wightman and would be even less so if the islands were removed. I don't think the need for residents parking is a significant argument for or against any of the options on the table.

Sorry Joe. I thought you were proposing this as a possible solution.
But parking on Wightman would certainly become an issue if they took half the existing spaces away.

Last summer a lot of cars that were parked on the ladder just disappeared. The streets were quite empty. The CPZ hours do not preclude car owners who take their cars away during the week and use visitor permits on Saturdays. Having your car registered to an address outside of London saves you a fortune on insurance. According to the last census only 48% of households on the ladder owned a car and needed to store it on the road, I think there's ample room for this shrinking group of people to be accommodated if we reduce available parking.

I've never really understood why it's so accepted that people are entitled to parking on public streets. If I built a shed on the road (footprint is pretty similar to a car) and used it for storage of personal items I can't imagine many people would be keen on that but if it's a car then that's fine.

The Cable Street cycle highway leads you into almost constant conflict with motor vehicles on the left further along from this photo and of course pedestrians. A better place for it would be above the railway line.

Gina, your son-in-law has a choice between supporting leaving things as they are (16,000+ vehicles every day driving past his family home - which may well get worse if as Antoinette mentions Haringey's plans for Wood Green redevelopment go ahead) or a filtered road layout which would eliminate over 90% of that traffic.
It's a trade-off between his family's health and quality of life, and a possibly longer daily car commute.

This is still £130 short... Purely as an incentive to contribute and not as a situation I welcome, could some local homeowners put a pound in for the presumably 5% chance of their house going up in value by fifty to a hundred thousand pounds?

It's a guess of what chance option 4 has of being chosen.
Option 1: 50%
Option 2 & 3: 22.5% each
Option 4: 5%

Do you mean "being chosen" by the public in the consultation? Or the chances of it actually being implemented by the Council?
