Ms Zina Etheridge Chief Executive Haringey Council Chief Executive 5Th Floor River Park House London N22 8HQ Ms Zina Etheridge Chief Executive Haringey Council Chief Executive 5th Floor River Park House London N22 8HQ 29 June 2020 Our Ref: ZA8519 Dear Zina, Low Traffic Neighbourhoods Thank you for your response to my letter of 18 May regarding the need to take rapid action to improve cycling and walking networks as lockdown eases. Please do also pass on my thanks to local government staff for all their hard work in responding to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. I welcome many of the measures proposed in your response but am disappointed that Haringey’s plans only include two “low traffic neighbourhoods” in Tottenham and the Green Lanes / St Anne’s area. I am concerned this doesn’t reflect the level of need locally or the enthusiasm from people within Hornsey & Wood Green to see Haringey Council respond ambitiously and swiftly to this opportunity to transform our streets and neighbourhoods. Failure to use this opportunity to transform our public spaces risks pushing people into car use which would be devastating for our planet. I have been contacted by a number of residents across Hornsey & Wood Green who share my concerns and I urge you to work closely with stakeholders including Haringey Cycling Campaign and Living Streets to expand the current proposals. Please can you also advise what consideration was given to the introduction of low traffic neighbourhoods in Hornsey & Wood Green, why none are included in the Council’s proposals, what areas have been proposed for further action by residents using your new interactive Commonplace Map and how you intend to respond to these. The window of opportunity for action this summer is closing and it is essential it isn’t wasted. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Catherine West Member of Parliament for Hornsey & Wood Green Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

Many of the bars, restaurants and cafes can be found on the popular award winning ‘High street of the Year', Myddleton Road. History In the latter half of the 19th century and before urbanisation Bowes Park was part of Wood Green & Tottenham and covered by woodland called Tottenham Wood, hence the original name of the area, Tottenham Wood Green. The 18 acre area was auctioned off as 'Wood-Green' in 9 separate plots on 13 August 1806 by local agent Prickett and Ellis at Garraway's Coffee house in Cornhill,London. Housing Stock With its vast array of both Edwardian and Victorian properties and the progressive emergence of modern high specification developments, Bowes Park attracts many different types of property buyers and tenants, from professionals and families to first-time buyers and students.

  • Tottenham & Wood Green Friends of the Earth
    Tottenham & Wood Green Friends of the Earth Response to Tottenham Area Action Plan consultation Provision of affordable housing There are many reasons for providing more affordable housing, and we would like to raise an environmental one. Travel has environmental impacts, even if done by public transport. So we should be aiming to minimise the distance people travel to work. If lower income households are relentlessly driven away from inner city areas, while the biggest mass of low income jobs remain in those areas, then we are increasing travel. So a key aim of the TAAP and other planning policies should be to improve supply of – really – affordable housing. Chapter 3 - A future vision for Tottenham We welcome the aim “contribute to Haringey’s role as a leading low-carbon borough by adopting sustainable development and design standards at the community and building scales, providing low carbon energy sources to new developments and by enhancing the presence of the green employment sector through skills training and improved employment space offer;” And in 3.4 “Promoting estate renewal that delivers higher quality, energy efficient homes in integrated and safe neighbourhoods.” Objective 4 We welcome “Securing provision for strategic walking and cycling routes and infrastructure throughout Tottenham, improving east – west linkages and easier access to the Lee Valley Regional Park.” Objective 5 We welcome “Establishing a district heating network serving existing and new developments; Increasing public transport accessibility, walking and cycling, promoting car free developments and reducing the dominance of car-led environmental, improving and enhancing streetscapes, reducing congestion and improving air quality; Increasing the supply of energy-efficient homes in new developments and through retrofitting” Encouraging walking and cycling will also help address priorities in the Health & Well-being strategy to reduce obesity.
