New misspelled street sign for OSBO(U)RNE ROAD

rrjlondon · April 2016

I live on Osborne Road. We have a band new street sign misspelled as Osbourne. I know it looks pedantic to want it to be corrected. But as we use electronic stuff for navigation, I worry it could be confounding. I have no idea how to get it changed. Please could you point me in the right direction? <div>Thanks very much.</div>

Wow. I'd start by contacting the local councillors- their details can be found in the links section.

Thanks, but to be honest, my take would be to contact a councilor if usual channels had failed, rather than use them as first contact. My problem is that I'm not sure what the usual channel would be. I was hoping that the regulars of stroudgreen.org could kindly nudge me in the right direction...

<font face="Arial, Verdana"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal;">I know it says potholes but I'd report it on here first as it goes to the same team that does street furniture/signs:</span></font><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"><br></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px; line-height: normal;">https://eforms.secure.haringey.gov.uk/ufs/ufsmain?formid=REPORTING_PROBLEM&ebz=1_1459718454970&ebd=0&ebp=10&ebz=1_1459718454970</span></font><br></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px; line-height: normal;"><br></span></font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px; line-height: normal;">It might take a bit of chasing to get it sorted but they will fix this.

Thank you ever so much. I did as you suggested. I'm sure it's not the most pressing issue that Haringey has on its plate!<div><br></div><div>With kindest regards,</div><div>R</div>

<div>No worries.</div><div><br></div>If you want to make it more pressing you can always contact the local paper - they love stories like that and it will quicken the response... Depends how cheeky you want to be!

Good stuff, nothing like an obvious embarrassment to get a council moving quickly...

Well done for Haringey for quick action. It was a funny mistake but more of our taxes wasted

flembo · April 2016

I reported it a few weeks ago and got an email this week to say it was completed.

Howdy, Stranger!
