We fundamentally disagree that the LTNs will achieve the
Council’s aims as our lived experience is that they are in
fact increasing traffic as vehicles are being diverted via boundary
roads, which adds both unnecessary distance and journey time, both
resulting in higher fuel consumption and consequently more
pollution.
They are the cause of major traffic jams and are encouraging
additional crime with quiet streets are becoming a target for rape,
muggings, crimes, robberies. Besides the health impact of pollution
itself, residents are unfairly subjected to both the physical and
mental impact of the grave distress and anxiety that aforementioned
factors cause.
They severely impact the most vulnerable causing severe stress to
the elderly, people living with disabilities, those who rely on
carers & especially to the people living/working & going to
school on the Boundary Roads.
They are damaging local businesses, with footfall and turnover
significantly impacted.
The Council engagement prior to LTN introductions was extremely
limited. The Council failed to inform many that this was even
happening & totally ignored the consultation results they
received as the majority didn’t want this!
Haringey should be striving for a fair and equal society, everyone
should have an equal right to use the roads that we all pay
for.
Simply pushing & forcing traffic on to the Boundary Roads is
not the answer to the aims! LTNs disproportionally affect the most
vulnerable.
We demand Haringey completely remove all of these incoherent
schemes with immediate effect.
