I don't live in Waltham Forest, so mongrel or one of the other locals will need to confirm - my understanding is that things are now back to normal as the roadblocks have been removed (as of Monday 13th). Waltham Forest council will now consult on the next stage which will ultimately generate their final plans, this time involving local people more closely.
There are consultations happening next month in Enfield regarding "quieter neighbourhoods" proposals in the residential areas surrounding Green Lanes. From the literature I have it looks like they will be mostly concerning speed limits and possibly road closures to through traffic but nothing has been firmly decided at the moment. Enfield council have been at pains to make sure they are including residents so the proposals don't take anyone by surprise, and have also intimated that they will not be entering into discussions about any other element of the Cycle Enfield plans (which includes the Mini Holland bid). As I recall the last meeting of interested residential groups went reasonably badly as it was hijacked by local politicians in opposition to the plans who wouldn't let the residents get a word in edgeways(!), so the council will be more determined to head off potential problems this time round.
