In recent years, many European cities have developed…"
"Dear Serena - ' I want a reduction in cars and pollution however Im not sure that moving the problem somewhere else will actually help'
How would you do it? How does the local authority reduce traffic and the pollution caused by motor vehicles, if…"
"Before an LTN can be implemented the plans have to be sent to the Police, Fire and Ambulance service. This is called a statutory consultation. Local MPs and Cllrs will also be part of a statutory consultation. Their consent is crucial for any…"
"I submitted an FOI request to Haringey many years ago regarding HGVs using the narrow section of Albert Rd. This is after we had petitioned for a camera to be installed temporarily. The number of PCNs was huge - obviously . I also asked what…"

"It's a good initiative and is happening in Lambeth and I believe Camden are also introducing extra segregated space for pedestrians and cyclists. Last week the SNT send round an email regarding traffic stops in Alexandra Palace. There were some…"
"Also number 5 is Haringey being 'dishonest'. They say they did not record operators or ownership but issued 113 penalty charges. So they must have known who they sent the penalty notices to. My thoughts were that Haringey didn't want residents to…"
