Welcome & Introductory Comments from Cllr Engert, Chairs of the Area Assembly
Minutes:
Cllr Engert welcomed attendees to the meeting and provided an update on issues raised at previous meetings:
Wellington Gyratory feasibility study – Awaiting an update from TfL. Cllr Engert will ask officers to pursue TfL for an update.
Fortis Green CPZ extension – This is going ahead and will include a small number of roads; a works notice has been issued to residents. Marking out the bays was due to start on 13 September and will take up to 4 weeks. Residents will require a permit to park from 25 October.
The traffic lights at Colney Hatch Lane/Alexandra Park Road/Pages Lane junction– The chair has received a briefing from Joan Hancox, Head of Sustainable Transport at the Council. Copies of this are attached to these minutes. It is recommended that Alexandra and Fortis Green Ward Councillors take this back to their residents for further discussion.
Conservation areas – A briefing has been received and is attached to these minutes. Information is available on the council website and is updated on an ongoing basis. It is recommended that a promotional article on conservation issues is included in a future issue of Haringey People to raise awareness.
Character Area Appraisals – 12 out of 29 have been prepared and adopted; one is underway. Hillfield and Fortis Green draft appraisals are two out of four that will be issued for public consultation in the near future and the next priority will be the preparation of a draft character appraisal for Highgate. Outside of the appraisal programme the council will not be reviewing either the designation or extension of conservation areas.
UDP, Parkland Walk – An update is available and is attached to these minutes.
Cllr Engert brought to the attention of attendees the consultation on the Local Implementation Plan (LIP) - Haringey’s local transport strategy. The plan will contain details of the local transport objectives and delivery proposals for 2011-2014. This will reflect the transport needs and aspirations of Haringey’s residents and contributes towards the implementation of key priorities within the Mayor’s Transport Strategy. Details of the draft LIP and the consultation will be available on the council’s website from 27 September and the deadline for comments if 8 November.
