<p>Why can't the council stand up to traders? Is there something fishy going on? They would rather appease traders than protect public health.</p>

<p>All the parking outside ours finally went yesterday. It was always full, now we have about 1/4 of what there was before, on the other side of the road. The original spaces were frequently full, so I'm expecting to do a lot of loading in and out of large, heavy items (I work in events and frequently have to store kit in the flat) from across the road and most likely also from halfway down the hill.</p>

<p>I was not exactly delighted at the prospect of reduced parking, but if it was going to result in safer cycling and a nicer pedestrian experience then fine, it's not all about me and my car.</p>
<p>But as you say, it a LOT of parking gone (and we've all stumped up for permits), it's as grim as ever walking through the clouds of fume and cyclists are now more likely to get run over by the furious drivers weaving between the new obstacles. This debacle is quite high on the list of reasons why we're about to move out. Which will no doubt be an interesting experience in itself, because there's now nowhere to put a van for loading.</p> On Lyttleton Road behind TPL,…tag:harringayonline.com,2019-06-17:844301:Comment:11747162019-06-17T13:50:12.885ZRobin Parkerhttps://harringayonline.com/profile/RobinParker
<p>On Lyttleton Road behind TPL, which has 14 houses on one side of the road, they quietly introduced pay-and-display parking on the opposite side of the road a couple of weeks ago - no resident or visitor parking allowed except in front of houses.</p>
<p>As a result it's become a bun fight to get a space especially if someone has a visitor over and quite reasonably gives them a vistor permit they've already bought rather than asking them to pay and display for £3.50 an hour. And the opposite…</p>

<p>As a result it's become a bun fight to get a space especially if someone has a visitor over and quite reasonably gives them a vistor permit they've already bought rather than asking them to pay and display for £3.50 an hour. And the opposite side stays largely empty.</p>
<p>Oh and so quietly did they tell residents that 10 parking tickets were issued to residents on the day of introduction... a petition has been signed</p> Some of the traders in Turnpi…tag:harringayonline.com,2019-06-14:844301:Comment:11741222019-06-14T11:07:11.664Zandy thomashttps://harringayonline.com/profile/AndyThomas
