Missing bus shelter outside Santander on Green Lanes - Harringay online2024-03-28T10:16:42Zhttps://harringayonline.com/forum/topics/missing-bus-shelter-outside-santander-on-green-lanes?commentId=844301%3AComment%3A963273&feed=yes&xn_auth=noReally easy solution would be…tag:harringayonline.com,2017-03-07:844301:Comment:9676552017-03-07T08:03:41.098ZMichael Andersonhttps://harringayonline.com/profile/17bathgate
Really easy solution would be to get the poundshop to move all its crap off the pavement so it doesn't enclose the area around the cash point. I don't think the way to deal with criminal and anti social behaviour is to penalise those most in need of a facility like a bus shelter! Having said that, if the new shelter was constructed just a few meters north of where it is now it would help to alleviate the problem.<br />

There was a thread a little while back about the removal of the benches on Green Lanes as they were being used by street drinkers. This was backed by the traders association even though they are the ones supplying the cheap booze that caused the problem in the first place!

<p>If you've never heard of any complaints perhaps you should try reading Harringay Online sometime. Plenty of threads about card skimming, peope loitering and trying to catch your pin over your shoulder, the drunks from the betting shop causing a nuisance etc. Or why don't you go in the Post Office and see what the staff have say about it. Or the Santander staff.</p>
<p>All this stopped once the bus stop was gone. </p>

<p>"Make the buses run on time" - goodness me, shades of Mussolini. Regardless of whether buses run on time or not, there will always be a wait for them. Never mind this nonsense about a bus shelter's "carbon footprint", what is important here is the well-being of bus users. The shelter has been there for as long as I can remember, and never before have I heard of any complaint or problem. I suspect too many selfish young gentrifiers are moving into the area. "Carbon footprint", indeed!</p>

<p>What a mean and selfish person you must be, Alexander. Do you seriously think that the "look" of that part of the street (which apparently offends you sensibilities) is more important than the well-being of people using the bus, and waiting at the shelter, often in the rain and cold?</p>

<p>I am astonished that anyone would suggest that the bus shelter not be replaced because it might inconvenience people using the Santander cashpoint. Personally, I use the one inside the bank; and for times when the bank is closed, there is another cashpoint nearby outside Tesco. I find it difficult to stand (especially in the cold weather) for very long in one place, and have been hoping for the return of the bus shelter.

I find it difficult to stand (especially in the cold weather) for very long in one place, and have been hoping for the return of the bus shelter. In fact, about a week or so ago I saw a TFL truck at the bus-stop, with a new bus shelter on it, and hoped that they were going to fit it. It looks as if it is time to write to TFL to get a move on and replace the shelter.</p> Absolutely agree Paul.

In my original post I should have said the shelter was outside William Hill, and in fact it didn't stand directly in front of Santander at all.<br />
So moving it and the stop just three metres north would easily open up the space around Santander's machine.

Personally I think it looks better without the shelter.
