The redevelopment of the garages is probably a great of thing tbh, that stretch is very run down and could do with a bit of investment. I think the gist of objections could be on height, but the neighbouring properties are already three stories, so…

Ah, a neighbour. We're in Norman Court. I'm sure there will be some help if you post around. Will get on an objection for sure. Light and noise wise, it's not legit. It might be worth also noting to the council that the proposed developer is not a …

If you feel comfortable sharing the application on here and other forums you can try to get locals to object? Maybe post a letter to your neighbours to inform them too - likely a few complaints would make a difference. Failing that, getting some h…

If there are other flats in your (I'm guessing period conversion) you'll need to persuade them to buy too. Period conversions are always a risk due to this issue, as a note for future buyers, ex-council flats are actually safer in these cases.

'Many freeholders may not be aware but under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993, leaseholders are legally entitled to purchase the freehold of their building. This is known as Collective Enfranchisement and effectively mean…

The local councillors have made it clear to me several times that they are on the fence about LTNs and pedestrianisation efforts. Unfortunately the efforts made in these areas are in the east of the borough, so hopefully we are way down the list in…

There are tons of boring indentikit areas like Woodberry Down that are attractive in the modern sense - people like our area because it does have character not because it's been pulled down and rebuilt. It's important to preserve elements of our pa…

Yeh let's all get in contact with the local councillors separately!

It looks good in the location it's in, with the matching Victorian architecture next door. Also, if you're ecologically minded, what's the point of replacing something when a repair can do just as fine - it's just the willpower to close the road and…

Has anyone got experience of trying to get Historic England to list a property? I might go down and talk to the workers and see what the plan is.
-
Interesting, I wonder if down means down and replaced, or down and rebuilt... Would indeed be an absolute tragedy. Are these bridges listed in any way?
-
I haven't heard anything about this - @dorothy where is the rumour from?
-
Hamaad Afzal, decent work and decent price, friendly. (Worth a Google, his company is called Cube)
-
There's already been an extension of the no parking area on that short stretch, however certain businesses who shall not be named (but their dilapidated nature gives the two away) have resisted attempts to make the spot more people friendly. Unfort…

But first coffee is pretty legit, although I would have to venture to Big Joe's or Sable D'Or for pastries.
-
Out of interest @HolbornFox what is the scheme you're already enlisted in? I'm interested as to whether or not it can hold landlords to account for poor building maintenance and safety. I don't think you should be ashamed of being a landlord, unle…
-
Perhaps. But that's due to enforcement, in theory it's a good idea to try to root out scum landlords and protect tenants. Yes ofc, there's a monetary element, but that's all the better. If you can rat on a bad landlord, the council has an incentive…

The supermarket is great and has a good mix of genuine Asian fair and more western oriented Asian products - all good quality. Reminded us to go to Tonkotsu at lunch. Can't recommend that place enough. The owner is very welcoming, space has a grea…

Another fun mismanagement story has been released by Ham and High https://www.hamhigh.co.uk/news/local-council/haringey-council-investigation-teriy-keys-station-road-8164906

That's really kind Kate - however I live in a flat and don't have a wheel barrow (only the smaller tools) if the soil is in bags, would be happy to take however, as can pick up in car or on back of bike. Ive finished the construction with purchases…

We were happy with Crouch End based M&L https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://mandlcarpetscrouchend.co.uk/&ved=2ahUKEwib7oWC_ubxAhXNYMAKHWyRDFYQFnoECCEQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2pbDXb5fiX-Jik3Zyw-noF

I myself rage often about some of the absentee landlord scum that keep their properties in a bad way - but I have no idea if the area has become worse or better as I haven't lived in Stroud Green long enough - however I have lived in far worse neigh…

@HolbornFox why do you think/what evidence do you have that the area is becoming less gentrified?

Which neighbourhood has gone to the dogs? Sadly if you feel there's no community it's not really the fault of the authorities being shit or the war on drugs People make a community, if you have shit people who can't be arsed and act likes dicks, t…

Not really the point though Noone should be scared to walk anywhere at whatever time of night in a civilised society Obviously it's not ideal, but if the council stopped being shite and actually installed the cameras and lighting that was promise…

Which road are you on? Does anyone know if Stapleton has one? I've found talking to the local Police via email quite helpful tbh!
-
Nice to see my angry emails got somewhere Thanks for setting this up!
-
Yeh, the local police are very responsive, a neighbour managed to get someone arrested through pictures shot whilst in the act of bile stealing. Re. Drugs, there seems to have been an uptick recently, incident in the park today with forensics on sc…
