Sorry to hear this happened to the poor dog! I don’t have any experience in this, but I suppose the way to report it would be to call 101 and speak to the local police?

@ Arkady Thanks for the link, I'll take a look. One of the measures I am calling for is a disability steering group to input at every stage of the strategic plans, to be sure that any new measure is assesed for impact on disability. The plans talk a…

@rikki we must’ve been writing a post at the same time because I didn’t see your last comment, though interesting you’ve come up with the same thought as Arkady. See my response. By the way I suspect you and I already know each other and often chat …

This is a case in point about people having no idea what it’s like to be disabled and the breadth of disabilities. I understand it’s an innocent question, and I know you are the nicest person Arkady, but it sounds like you think that taking cabs is …

Well rikki, I’ve got some specific worries on account of being a disabled driver and being reliant on my car to get about. Really great for all of you healthy people who have alternatives, but there is very little in the plan regarding disability. I…

Hi Patso - us regular members have been continuing the bookclub amongst ourselves throughout the pandemic, mostly on Zoom, sometimes in people's gardens etc. (No plans to move back indoors for the moment) We're actually discussing a book tomorrow an…

I was at the meeting and felt rather mislead. It wasn't about having a neighbourhood discussion at all. Rather of the two hour meeting 1.40 ours was listening to lectures promoting LTNs, with everyone's mics switched off. Then in the final 20 minute…

Definitely won't be missing the Wireless Festival - I was too big, too long and too aggressive. Local businesses should never be in the position of having to shut down for a weekend due to anti-social behaviour. Hopefully the Council can find some m…

Tickets aren’t available for wireless yet, there is no lineup and there’s nothing on the Finsbury park major events website, so maybe it’s more of a hope on their part rather than a done deal.

I’ve only just noticed this thread.... Sorry to see you go Arkady and a very big thank you for all your hard work and energy keeping the site going these last few years. I see it Joust has come forward to help - thank you @joust! Have you got every…

It should be noted that the spring is not the correct time for pollarding trees. They should be done in the winter, before they grow leaves. The council’s own policy on pollarding says that these types of trees should be done once every three years…

Apologies to the new people who were thinking of joining us for this month’s book club, but for obvious reasons we won’t be holding it this month. Not sure what’s happening next month so stay tuned.
-
The Park Cafe does a great fry up - plus you get the nice views.
-
Blimey! Just sent the other half out to stock up on bottles of water. Think this could take awhile...
-
It will be great to see you both @miss annie and @yvonne.
-
See you all there tonight. Please come armed with book suggestions for October.

Sorry, only just seen these requests! Sean’s number: +44 7552 576770

The place opposite N4 Coffe appears to be a cafe relocating from Fonthill Rd. There they had fancy ice cream & coffee offerings, plus lovely Italian treats - some kind of franchise from Italy. No one has mentioned ex-Italian Farmers which is op…

Good to know! Want to join us talk about it?

If you’ve got any ideas for creative projects to celebrate 150 year anniversary of Finsbury Park, the council are giving away money. https://www.haringey.gov.uk/libraries-sport-and-leisure/parks-and-open-spaces/getting-involved/friends-groups/park…

Excellent!
-
That’s great Naomi!
-
Sorry to hear you have to miss this one. If you have any suggestions for next month’s book just drop us a line here.
-
@krappyrubsnif - I agree!
-
Had to change the venue to Brave Sir Robin as the White Lion is already fully booked for food at 8pm with other Xmas parties!
-
You certainly can! Will PM you.
-
I'm not surprised, the Park really is scummy during the summer. There are loads of problems, including the lack of staff. Though I've noticed an increase in rubbish collections lately. Personally I'd like to see BBQs banned as in other parks - they …

We have a new date! I might even finish the book...

Check back here to find out the new date for this discussion.

Great! Just sent you a message.
