Seems like complaints about trees and vegetation get taken more seriously at Haringey Council than any other matter (see local trees being cut down over minor complaints regularly).
Well, I think if the Hackney Woodberry Downs development is anything to go by, @Ali then we sorely need the same public private partnership to renew our social housing and create more private homes.
Sure, ideally the Council would have enough cash …
There's nothing much to argue about - each borough has its advantages and disadvantages - west Haringey is lovely, and so is south tottenham - however the council itself is useless and focused entirely on politics.
They've underachieved with their …
Sent on 11th February 2021 via email to Tottenham Labour party members:
On behalf of Tottenham Labour Party, I am asking you to spare a few moments of your time to take part in Haringey Council’s consultation on changing the name of Black Boy Lane,…
Okay, there are a number of costs included in this - but it's an estimate that's been made on the Harringay Online forum - and includes the Albert Recreation Ground renaming of about 50k each rename.
The suggested renaming of a town hall in tottenh…
I think it's a bit of a waste of monies rn at around 100k just to rename the road.
Would make more sense to ask the new developments in Haringey to rename the new roads and buildings with relevant historical names.
Lol, look away for a minute and this happens...
I think everyone has to admit that all sources and individuals have a worldview that influences their 'impartiality' some sources such as RT and Al Jazeera are pretty much just state propaganda from t…
Pretty sure it's part of maintainence work on the paths and the bridges in particular which are being repaired.
Also, cutting down trees, clearance work is needed to keep 'forest' healthy - in particular to allow new growth or get rid of infection.…

Otherwise there's not been anything major reported in the news in 2020 to my knowledge.
It's prob…

I can't seem to find the cost of testing and tracing, but these are some other figures specifically during Covid;
Support for businesses £55.8bn
Lower tax revenue -£105.7bn
Support for households £83.7bn
Higher welfare spending £24.5bn
Support fo…
@Brodiej sorry if it looks like we're having a go, the aim of the ire is people rat running through neighbourhoods they don't live in - obviously having a car and using it isn't a sin!
The LTNs are supposed to reduce through traffic not to stop dri…
Having something free is not a right - a right is something like freedom of speech and the rule of law.
Don't you agree with a freebie being means tested, which is the plan fyi. My mum has a free pass, but tbh she admits she could pay for it. Free …
I hope some Stroud Green restaurants are doing it - very common in the USA to buy your full roast (or another takeaway) from a shop which delivers it.
I'd recommend Sainsbury's delivery if you're not keen to venture out.
I personally think it's the individual's choice whether or not they go and take the risk - I'm personally not comfortable with so many people, but it's outdoors and generally people are staying distanced. Worth thinking about the storeholders who ar…
Don't get me wrong, if one needs a car for work or long distances then obvs it's fine and everyone should have the freedom for it - I guess though, no matter how we achieve it, through the carrot or the stick, less car use in cities is essential for…
Check out the forum Harringay online (for residents of the ladder and the surrounds) - if you haven't already as people mix it up with Haringey online.
A map of Haringey's LTN implementation is here:

They include poorer neighborhoods such as Bruce Grove, (which I believe is where the B…
I've been interested in this topic for a while, not least as I used to live on Hornsey road for three years - precisely for the cheap rent - and experienced the high traffic. Unfortunately during lockdown, the current road I live on seems to have ha…
