Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

This year sees the 90th anniversary of a charity that has made life considerably safer and pleasanter for people navigating our streets on foot.  The Pedestrians Society was set up in 1929 and in recent years has gained a new lease of life under a new name - Living Streets.  And this month sees the birth of a new local Living Streets group in Haringey.

Making it easier and safer to cross the road is a priority for Living Streets, and there have been some very interesting developments in London, thanks to the hard work of the London Living Streets group.  The group have succeeded in persuading Transport for London to take a new approach to the timing of lights-controlled pedestrian crossings.  After a successful experimental study TfL will be reducing wait times throughout the capital, reviewing 1,200 crossings a year.  You can read about this programme on the London Living Streets website and watch a short video below. 

The first public meeting of the Haringey Living Streets group is being held this weekend. Guest of honour is Jeremy Leach, chair of London Living Streets.
