Over a year late and fast running out of time, it's time for residents to demand action on this long overdue environmental improvement project. Following officers attending our spring get-together, we have set out our priorities as follows:
Generally
Specifically
We have only recently learned that funding allocated to ‘Hornsey Park’ has now been spread across a wider area that includes the adjacent Woodside ward, as far away as Bounds Green Road, Watsons Road, Park Avenue and side roads. These areas have had their own funding and, in the case of Watsons Road, was promised new funding, not money snatched from a neighbour. Which council officers thought it appropriate to 'nick' our name and our funding and why did councilors approve it?
Life on Hornsey Park Road has been plagued with problems including noise, pollution and crumbling pavements, on top of this there appears to be a lack of strategic vision for the future. Council Leader Peray Ahmet and a few of her fellow councillors came to discuss the issues with our representatives.
Eight of us got out before the rain last Saturday. We cut back a lot of growth at the Lavender Garden ready for winter. Most of what we cleared has now gone down for composting. By John Miles
The loss of trees is becoming an issue locally. The wonderful false acacia at the junction of Mayes Road and Coburg Road was removed because it ‘had a fungus’ - just in time for the planning application to build on the petrol station site beside it.
