The bgdra have received a request from a group of concerned local residents to try and raise awareness of an issue that could affect many of us. Their request is laid out below:
An informal meeting has been called by residents to discuss the options available for stopping the clamping around Bounds Green Station. Although the private clampers operate within the law we find that many of their practices are unfair and exploitative.
- Why can’t the warning signs be more prominent?
- Why are motorists given no grace period before they are clamped?
The purpose of the meeting will be to:
a) List the changes we expect the Landlord to implement to make the operation fairer.
b) Agree on the most suitable action necessary to bring about these changes.
We’d really appreciate your ideas.
Where: The Step Cafe/Bar, 101 Myddleton Road, London N22 8NE
When: Wednesday 21 March
Time: 20:00
If you are a regular shopper around Bounds Green maybe you’ve been affected by this? If so come along and share your views.
It has been comparatively quiet for the Xmas and New Year period, but there is an extremely important event happening next week.
A public hearing is taking place at which the Haringey Core Strategy will be examined supported by an independent planning inspector. The PWA have a team working on submissions on the day.
We need your help to try and ensure that the public gallery is full with local residents. The purpose is to listen quietly, so Randolph won’t be there with his teeny megaphone. If you can spare some time to attend just one of the sessions it will help. The details are:
Wed 22 Feb, at Wood Green Civic Centre. It will start at 10am, with lunch at 1-2pm, and finish at 5.30pm. There will be breaks half-way through the am and pm sessions.
It’s fine to attend only part of the day, but we should really try and arrive/leave only when there is a break, unless absolutely necessary.
If you want more detail on what the hearing will cover then check this useful link on the PWA website.
Hope to see you there!
Cllr Joe Goldberg (Cabinet Member for Finance and Carbon Reduction) is hosting a public meeting to give local people a chance to have a say on the council’s budget.

Alternatively you can request a paper copy by emailing haveyoursay@haringey.gov.uk.
