"Although the TMO on Haringey's site as of 29 October still contains the 40 permit limit... is it really a mistake?"

Paul Soper replied to adamvietnam's discussion Removal of Daily Parking Vouchers | Have your say Now - Deadline November 13th

Paul Soper replied to Hugh's discussion Ending of Haringey Daily Visitor Permits to increase daily visitor parking charge by 164%

Nice work getting to a stage where your band can go out in public to perform, well done.

Might your public performances spread as far as Woodberry Down? We have anumber of delightful amphitheatres well suited to a summer outdoor concert, and loads of old folks constantly whingeing about not having anything to do.

In an almost rural setting beside a reservoir.
