Background:
In June 2024, Haringey Council installed a series of speed reduction measures, including raised junction tables and speed humps, along Ferme Park Road. Following resident complaints about these speed humps – primarily concerning noise, vibrations, and potential structural damage –only six were removed in August 2025. However, the raised junction tables at the bottom of the road (including one outside 29/27/25/18/16 Ferme Park Road) remains in place, despite causing significant distress to residents in that area.
The undersigned residents, purchased our properties after the initial public consultations and meetings in 2024-2025. Consequently, we were unable to participate in discussions that led to the removal of other speed humps.
Impact on Residents:
Noise and Vibration Disturbance: The junction table at the south end of Ferme Park Road causes severe vibrations whenever buses, trucks, or other vehicles pass over it. This results in loud noise and structural vibrations, disturbing sleep and daily life.
Property Damage Risk: Recent incidents have included kitchen panels falling off newly installed units, pictures falling from walls, and general shaking within the building. Residents are also concerned about the potential for subsidence due to the high clay content in the soil, which will likely be exacerbated by repeated vibrations. One resident has already had structural damage to their kitchen (panels falling off), and another resident has noted cracks appear in their walls since the speed bumps were introduced. This is just in one building.
Health and Wellbeing: Continuous disturbances have caused stress, anxiety, and sleep deprivation, affecting both physical and mental health of residents.
Consistency with Council Decisions: Other speed humps along
Ferme Park Road, which caused similar complaints, were removed
following resident feedback. There is no apparent rationale for
leaving the junction table at the south end of Ferme Park Road,
given the same concerns are experienced here.
