Railroaded through: The proposed depot has been approved

The new depot as seen from Hornsey Station

During  the consultation progress,  we were  told  at a meeting  with the railway that there would be some slight increase in background noise for local residents. When the matter was approved by the Planning Committee (despite many objections from residents), the Council were told by a different, and more senior railway representative, there would  be no extra noise at all.  What's the truth?  We shall be the judge of that.

Although only the skeleton of the structure is currently in place , the former views of Alexandra Palace have already gone (save for the upper part of the aerial). At present we can see Heartlands School, but not for much longer.  We shall no longer see trains, just hear them.  As the location is  on the  West of Hornsey Park Road, there will also be some loss of the Sun  during part of the day.
