Living Wightman: A safer, healthier, happier Harringay for everyone. Help us make it a reality.

Negative long term #airquality impact in Haringey during Wightman Road filtering in 2016? We don't think so! More: https://t.co/6YRz2uR2GH

[LivingWightmanN4 @Living_Wightman]

@FrederickGuy4 If they can filter the two A-roads running through Crouch End, why not filter Wightman Road itself? Filtering Endymion would certainly reduce Wightman traffic, but would still be excessive for a local street.

Council survey on Liveable Crouch End ends tomorrow! Links and discussion here: https://t.co/yh6zPA4XzG
The last survey didn't get many responses from outside the project area:

[LivingWightmanN4 @Living_Wightman]

@john_mcmullan @edgorman @haringeycouncil : "Sorry but it's a B-road, and we don't have the funds to mitigate the impact on neighbouring areas such as Crouch End."
Also @haringeycouncil : "We are planning to close the A103/A1201..."

It won't need to be redone. They can just finish the current works (remove pavement parking to restore proper pavement widths). Then add filters to stop the through-traffic.

🚘 WIGHTMAN—the current works in this road have been described elsewhere as “botched”. A serving @haringeycouncil Councillor suggested to me it will all need to be re-done within a few years. It tries to accommodate everyone but will please none @Living_Wightman @HaringeyCyclist

I could have driven my car to work today, but I would have missed this: @LeicsWildlife

While @haringeycouncil is having endless, pointless meetings @wfcouncil are just doing it. Life expectancy has risen in WF. In H’gey it has fallen. @CllrEjiofor @kirstenhearn we don’t have a year to wait for another non-commital report,we need to get on with it. @mikehakata @TfL

Shouldn't car ads be banned like cigarette ads? The reality of urban driving is congestion, pollution, a public health crisis.

[Will Norman @willnorman]

Moving house is when people are most likely to change their travel behaviour. It’s great that the hundreds of new residents in this development on the Lea Bridge Road now have a fully protected junction on their front door, making them much more likely to cycle.

[Chris Kenyon @BoxbikeLondon]

These are not roadworks at Highbury Corner. They are the beginning of a public health intervention.

In other news, person who bought larger trousers in effort to loose weight finds waist has expanded to fill new pair

@FrederickGuy4 @martynschmoll My street would definitely be better with more trees. I wonder if I could buy a residents parking permit for a plant tub?

CO2. Highest in 3 million years.
Caused by fossil fuels in my lifetime.

My car exhaust, my flights, my home heating, my food choices.

The last time it was this high there were no humans, no Neanderthals, no hominids.

First slowly, now faster, climate is changing in response

[LivingWightmanN4 @Living_Wightman]

@NeilGarratt And look how some cyclist has selfishly left their Brompton propped up against the bus stop, taking up valuable space that could have been used by someone waiting for the S3! ;)

Four Londoners are hospitalised every day due to asthma caused by #AirPollution. Our Ultra Low Emission Zone starts on Monday and is expected to cut toxic air by 45% in two years. #LetLondonBreathe https://t.co/Fb1OPTA0QY

@jonthebrick Hi Jon, unfortunately not, the works are getting rid of pavement parking, should improve the streetscape a bit but not expected to have any impact on traffic volume :(
