We received the following note from John McQueen, Project Engineer for the London Borough of Haringey
"As instructed by my manager I’ve made the following amendments to the design as suggested in your constructive correspondence.
The changes are as following:
Realigned zebra crossing
2 extra trees
Imprint surface as seen on Ravenstone Road
Removal of unnecessary bollards
Build-out at the junction with Mayes Road “dog leg”
Central island upgrade
Build-out on the south side of Hornsey Park Road shortened by 5m to line up with north build out.
Area decluttered
To view the proposed changes full scale please download the PDF below
Please note that it is not possible to include the requested build-outs on the Mayes Road side of the junction treatment. Our tracking exercises have concluded that these would be obstructive for larger vehicles travelling northbound and dangerous for cyclists travelling southbound.If you agree with the design amendments a works notice can be delivered to affected residents prior to works being undertaken starting in a couple of weeks.

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.

Sometime in the next week or so the work on Mayes Road will near completion. It will be a new benchmark for the look and feel of our neighbourhood and enhance its biodiversity. (photo: Luke 'Duke' Newcombe)
