Southbound right turn from High Rd to Station Rd?

Poss. Southbound right turn from Wood Green High Road into Station Rd?

Possible southbound right turn from High Road N22 into Station Road: (See attached PDF from Haringey Council)

Our thoughts:

It opens up a new traffic corridor through the area – small change, major consequence
It takes traffic off the High Road – not necessarily a help to us
It takes traffic away from the A roads and puts it onto B roads, again not good for us
It will mean less traffic on Alexandra Road – good for us
It gives us the opportunity to have a weight restriction in Alexandra Road and the roads off it – good for us
It will provide a more direct connection to the shopping city loading bays in Mayes Road and Caxton Road from the High Road (HGVs won’t need to use Alexandra/ Malvern and Hornsey Park Roads
It will put more stress on HPR at the time of disruption from the Heartlands demolition and redevelopment
It may enable us to argue that the new right turn can only be introduced with measures to shelter HPR from its effects, e.g. HPR has a weight restriction and more traffic is made to use the spine road

The stressful street – a promising discussion about Hornsey Park Road
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.
A greener neighbourhood in 2022?
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

A working partnership
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)
