That's all mainly finished from what I've been keeping up with (seemingly a bit behind schedule as they've run out of paving slabs). No idea why they've gone with such shit bike racks, I imagine they must have been a lot cheaper than Sheffield stands.
The bus lane removal isn't happening. This is something that the traders wanted (a large influence on that plan was the Traders' Association) and argued for but was over-ruled by TFL.
These are the quotes from the Labour candidate for St. Anns, Ali Özbek
[INDENT]"Ali Özbek of Med - Chem Pharmacy on Green Lanes said that business rates in the area almost equalled rates on Oxford Street. Mr Özbek said “From a business perspective, among the most significant problems of Harringay Green Lanes are the high level of business rates and parking problems.
... In a meeting last month, I informed Tottenham MP David Lammy that in the area we have got 1,000 votes and three major issues.
...The other two matters in the area are the barriers on Hermitage Road as well as St Ann’s Road where customers are not allowed to turn towards Green Lanes. This prevents the area receiving more visitors. Mr Lammy said he would not open the barriers."
