Our report on the first Wood Green Summit, organised on Zoom by the Wood Green Business Improvement District. After the grandiosity of the Heartlands developments might Haringey be discovering a sense of proportion?

The overarching theme was Active Travel. Slow vehicles down, get people out of their cars, encourage walking and cycling, lay out our streets to put people first, […]
