The tree still stands, and looks magnificent. Latest court ruling, thanks to the affected leaseholder, is that the Council (and insurers) now HAVE to wait for the ombudsman's decision. This is effectively what the campaigners asked the council to …

Old Dairy today - Online booking not working. Wouldn't answer phone. Tried going in at lunchtime and told at least an hour's wait for food. Not impressed.

Phew!!! This mature plane tree on Oakfield Road is the proverbial comeback kid - the householder's appeal has been successful, and Haringey have yet again wasted council taxpayer's money, on an injunction due to come in on Monday, when they were ho…

Been using micycle since they opened. I recommend.

Which greater good are you referring to?

Unfortunately, the last legal chance was lost today. The householder has a complaint against his insurers which the ombudsman hasn't yet ruled on. So he took out an emergency injunction to stop the council from bowing to pressure from the insurer un…

I spoke with one of the artists today. Apparently its a council funded scheme that pays a small pool of artists. It came out of the lockdown, when a lot of shutters got tagged and it was quite ugly, so this initiative is designed to dissuade the tag…

Haringey council have now issued a ridiculous backtrack having wasted all this money, and will remove the security and scaffolding until a further court hearing.

Update (although it appears no-one is intersted in the plight of our best carbon sequesters, anti-pollution air cleaners, and temperature coolers (ie trees). https://realmedia.press/oakfield-road-tree-reprieve/

Slight variation depending who you talk to, but around 100 it seems.

@HolbornFox We should certainly tax the rich, but if they don't want to pay tax (which they don't) then indeed, the only remaining solution is 'eat the rich'. Liverpool Rd has a separate bike lane nowadays - are you saying the bike lane is gridloc…

Looks like the ecocide will start on Monday. There's going to be a ceremony on Sunday morning to mark the loss of all these beautiful trees. More than 6000 locals signed the petition for a green bridge at Stanhope, but the council are pressing ahea…

Thanks for this lovely read. Unfortunately the colourful protest banners at Stanhope Road seem to have recently been removed by our hypocritical council, but information and a petition can still be found online here: https://www.change.org/p/we-call…

If God really wanted you to believe in Thine. Thy'd really exist! (Hopefully correct pronouns)

I thought only MPs had that particular kink?

Good to hear.

I was out of London, but thank goodness the insanity of cancelling everything didn't spread to this local event - hope everyone had lots of fun and raised a glass to the paedo enabler herself.

I never give the police the benefit of the doubt any more (I used to). Unfortunately it's become clear they're a lying, sexist, racist criminal gang who only ever turn out in numbers when there's a protest going on. Completely useless for any real c…

A lot of drug deals go on on Blythwood Road by the gate to Parkland Walk too - daily troupe of addicts turn up waiting for their man.

https://realmedia.press/mcdonalds-tree-massacre/ Film report of the protest in this follow-up article plus some new revelations that this may have been part of a planned McDonald's strategy to tear down trees and vegetation across the UK to improve …

Tollington Road is currently a building site - whole road outside Sobell Centre ripped up by machinery.

Chaos this afternoon, with all roads closed and hundreds of police seemingly intent on provocation. Police I spoke to were blaming promoters. https://twitter.com/RealMediaGB/status/1546191270405722113
