  • I wasn't justifying their behaviour! If you want have that kind of reactionary argument I'm sure you'll find plenty of entertainment on the Daily Mail website.
  • Groups of kids like this are always a problem during the summer holidays, they are just bored. I'm sorry they gave you such a fright, hopefully the local Safer Neighbourhoods Team can help if they keep going back to the same spot?
  • Rowans is not getting knocked down to make open space for the park, they are jumping at the opportunity to knock down their low rise and build much more valuable "luxury" flats on the park instead. I do feel sorry for the kids but I'm sure the cinem…
  • @twinspark<br> I was thinking exactly that, it looks great. Here's a pic for those that haven't seen them yet.
  • @NorthNineteen<br> I believe the block between Wells Terrace and Morris Place is also owned by the City North group, so once they have sold enough of the main development to safely develop that block I'm sure they will do but doing it all …
  • Having previously worked for a coucil I suggest the following - If the front yard is private land, which is what I would expect, they can dump what they like in that area in general and cause as much aesthetic damage as they wish. However, if it is …
  • There must be lifts planned in the station as they're currently in breach of disability discrimiation law. I seem to remember there is also a planned shortcut tunnel from the Wells Terrace entrance to the Moorgate line platforms, does anyone have a …
  • I believe you have the right to view the footage yourself under freedom of information if you contact the bus company. If you then have evidence of this attack I'm sure the police will be much more willing to act.
  • Can anyone who went to the meeting update us on what was discussed/agreed last night?
  • @Papa L   Absolutely... "Congratulations! Here's your bouncing baby boy madam, 8lbs 7oz. At £50/oz that'll be £6,750 please. All major credit cards accepted. Please make cheques payable to the Cameron Greenwash Fund.
  • Oh absolutely. And there's loads of tax on petrol. So we're paying tax on that carbon footprint too. All we need now is a tax on babies and it's all covered, reproduction is pollution and should be treated as such.
  • I am, while not large, taxed accordingly. The more junk food you eat the more VAT you pay, so obesity is already taxed indirectly.
  • Large dogs also have a worse carbon footprint than a car, so we should tax them accordingly.
  • There's a three story house on my road that now has *nine* wheelie bins outside, 4 refuse, 5 recycling. Definitely not helping Stroud Green beautification.

  • @<SPAN class=Author>miss annie Combination of factors I would suggest, proximity to the estate as mentioned, front yards in slightly less good nick than some neighbouring roads, building stock slightly less aesthetically appealing than m…
  • One day a real rain will come and wash the scum off the streets.
  • It's not horrible or very dangerous, but it is one of the cheapest roads to buy/rent on for a reason.
  • I've no idea about the bus lane, but as a council lackey I know the council has no choice about paint, it's considered hazardous waste and is collected by the Corporation of London on behalf of every London council, ridiculous red tape and all... Th…
  • I've got this sorted for you - the whole street should have been cleared this afternoon, and will be monitored over the coming weeks to ensure no further issues. Please do whisper me if you have any problems in the next couple of weeks and I'll see …
  • I've not spotted that yet, but I love the signboards in the entrance hall on the SGR side which tell me whether I need to run for the next train or not!
  • @sg_mike I quite agree, this lack of visibility is the main issue, and what you've written is almost word-for-word what I suggested when I filled out the petition. This fact makes it even more mystifying as to why they put the 30mph boards where …
