Cheers Vetski, we're looking in the East Finchley/Wood Green/SG area
-
The council insisted that event info went to local residents 2 weeks ago. I live in Ennis rd and haven't received anything. Neither have friends in Scarborough, Victoria or Perth Roads. Head of Client Services (the man responsible for events in …

Hmm, I don't recall seeing any notification from the council about this ....
-
The noise for the last two nights was something called #blockpartyforeignbbq (check twitter). Basically, 500 kids descended on the skate park with an industrial sound system, a boat load o' booze, weed and BBQ'd food to sell. The police were warn…

The money made from the events 'allegedly' goes into ALL Haringey parks. I find this a bit poor as some of those parks have Lottery funding, some didn't spend all of their budget last year and none of them are being pimped out. My biggest concer…

From Richard Watts at the council Thank you for writing to me about the trees at Lennox Road and Clifton Terrace. I share your concern about this issue. The trees are being removed because of the development of the John Jones site. This is a…
-
All great ideas Miss Annie. Thank you.
-
Yes, absolutely. We're trying to get as much press as possible. We still feel that many resident don't know it's happening. Save the trees has another installation planned for this week too. I absolutely encourage everyone who is concerned t…

If we assemble enough people on the 24th and 25th, they won't be able to fell the trees. Which will give the birds longer to nest, which would save them for up to a year. Please spread the word.
-
Hi Idoru, I very much doubt the trees will come down tomorrow as there are no parking suspension signs up and cars parked either side of the road. I'll have a word with Caroline and Emma (Islington Greens) to see if we can put something together. …
-
From the council!!! The planning application for this development was originally refused by the council. However the developer appealed to the planning inspectorate who overturned our decision, they considered the trees during the appeal and…

Emma Dixon, Islington Greens sent this to me earlier I’m an Islington Green Party member with some previous experience of saving trees from the chop (in the context of Network Rail and trackside trees) – I have contacted Jeremy Corbyn (as below)…
-
Nesting season starts in a week. Once the returning birds come back, they won't be able to take the trees down for months. As no 'no parking' signs have gone up and no notice that the road will have to be closed, I'm hopeful that we'll have more tim…

How many people read the plans when they first go out? Not many, until they realise they're being effected. Also, this was years ago. A lot of new people have moved here in the last few years!
-
There are a few worryingly mysterious things going on here. Here's the petition for those who want to but haven't. https://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/jeremy-corbyn-stop-the-felling-of-the-8-trees-on-clifton-terrace-and-lennox-road-and-co…

I think if people see it as murder they can call it murder. In some ways this is worse than murder, it's killing a tree and destroying a habitat for many more creatures. A tree expert had already disapproved of the felling. Two experts with diff…

I think Misscara has summed that up really well. I can't see any abuse on social media at all (although who knows what people may have emailed). Lots of people questioning @johnjoneslondon and @mattjohnjones The reason people are directing things t…
-
That's really helpful, thank you.
-
@Kate Jones - Abuse is uncalled for and I'm sorry you've been on the receiving end of some. Like I said before, as an actor, I'm all for having arts bases in the area and I support the business end of what you're doing. I do wonder, if the developm…
-
Hmm. Not sure people are targeting you as 'nasty'. Complicit, perhaps, nasty would be most unfair. What is unfair is that whenever you've been challenged with a question you can't answer, you resort to calling them childish, or label them as being n…
-
@Quince - Yes, it's all too easy to dismiss having trees. You've just proven the point.
-
The park theatre got rid of the petition. They didn't give permission for it to be there. They were the ones who advised JJ as to how they should over turn Islingtons rejection. The tribune are doing a photo opportunity at 4pm today if anyone ca…
-
@JoeV - That's absolutely fair. My point was more that the reason the trees are being talked about is because the signs went up a few days ago and the trees are due to be gone by Weds. Actually, my initial criticism was with Islington Council (the c…
-
@JoeV - I think the problem is that people who really give a toss about the environment are a minority. There was a fair amount of 'but it's progress, stop moaning' on this thread until a few more people spoke up. I agree, paving over gardens do…
-
One of the things that I love about this area is that we are blessed (on the whole) with friendly, community minded, professional staff on SGR (not the guy in the key cutting shop though!!!) The waitress in Saporita is one of my favourite people in…
-
@misscara - No. Not all (see Dion's post) @Sutent - Thank you.
-
I adore you Miss Annie! Was telling Lynn so today.
-
@Misscara and @Toddlesocks - If you're on twitter, give Caroline Russell (@Highburyonfoot) a shout. She is brilliant and immediately responded when I let her know it was happening. Jeremy Corbyn and Emily Thornberry are also interested. The Islingt…

Patronising? Coming from the person who dismisses peoples genuine concerns (and I'm not the only one on here) as 'arm chair internet critics'! From the guy who runs an internet forum, that's laughable! The comment I think you may be referring to …
-
Arkady - that is a fair point. However, you say that now ... and in 10 years when someone else deems them as being 'unsuitable' or in the way of their development ... ? And what about the returning Starlings that visit that hedge row and those tree…
