PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE OUR PETITION TO STOP THE DAMAGING BRIDGE DESIGN ON THE PARKLAND WALK (OVER STANHOPE ROAD) we need more than 2,200 signatures for Haringey to listen to our concerns so please support us.

https://chng.it/hf4rMJq8

Haringey Council want to rebuild the bridge on Stanhope Road, Crouch End which will cause great damage to the Parkland Walk Nature Reserve. It involves chopping down several mature trees - including 2 oaks, and destroying natural habitat, resurfacing with urbanised materials - and raising the bridge to a height which will allow HGVs through, causing yet more pollution. Haringey have not changed their approach to nature in the borough despite declaring a Climate Emergency 3 years ago.

Time is of the essence as they have already approved the plans and now is our only chance to ask them to rethink. We are calling on them to come up with a much better design which reflects the fact it’s on a Nature Reserve!
Here’s the Planning application including doc which had almost 200 objections:
