"The problem - transport in the covid world - is a real one, which the options offered fall somewhat short of addressing.
The school streets might help a tiny bit with traffic, having a single LTN in Tottenham won't at all, and the extra cycling…"
Mark Crouch End replied to Adrian Essex's discussion A hobby horse - probably not one of Haringey's preferred Covid responses
"Further necessities -
1. To do it now, rather than waiting for, say, 3 months.
2. To design the interventions around the needs of pavement trading - what space is necessary, where does it go, etc. If all we get are 1 metre wide lanes in the gutter…"

Mark Crouch End replied to Clive Carter's discussion HARINGEY Council are winning their war against the cycling lobby
"Oh. I'll go and have a look.
Plastic, then paint, then screwing things down (orcas?), then pouring tarmac... we'll have our wider pavements before the lobsters know they're boiled."
Mark Crouch End replied to Clive Carter's discussion HARINGEY Council are winning their war against the cycling lobby
"There's a problem with basing an argument upon the fact that car ownership in Haringey is low (much less then 50%) and they consequently enjoy too much council attention. It's this - cycle ownership and use is infinitesimally lower still,…"

"From The Telegraph
In one case, Tom McLaren, the Conservative candidate for Hornsey and Wood Green, was asked to stand down over concerns about his social media posts. Last night, Mr McLaren did not respond to requests to comment."
Mark Crouch End replied to Mark Crouch End's discussion Election 2019, runners and riders
"It's Friday, so the nominations are now submitted. The final list seems to be -
Dawn Barnes - Lib Dem
Daniel Corrigan - Brexit
Jarelle Francis - Green
Ed McGuinness - Conservative
Helen Spiby-Vann - Christian People's Alliance
Salah El-Din…"

"Hold that nomination paper!
The Conservatives (reason unknown) did a last minute swerve, dropped McLaren, and under CCHQ's instruction, installed a new chap as candidate -

He's the Chair for Islington…"

Mark Crouch End replied to Adrian Essex's discussion So, you think archaeology is dull . . . try the car park at Hornsey Town Hall
