Double standards...

Nearly four months after our meeting with the Council and O'Donovans and not the slightest sign of feedback and support from the powers that be.

O’Donovans must be laughing at just how powerless we are. So, how do we, as local residents, get these very serious issues addressed and taken seriously by a council that seems to care little for this part of the borough. Even though the little incidents posted below mean that they can no longer deny that they happen, why would they worry? Nothing happens as a result of it.

But, the bigger issue is that by not addressing our very legitimate issues the council is condoning their practices - many of which mean breaking the law.

Double standards again...

- What's OK for businesses - is not OK for residents

- What's OK for this part of the borough - is not OK for the west...

As more and more people are crammed into this area and want to access Markfield Park, the schools, river, cafe and museum it is simply a matter of time before there is an accident. Yes, so far there hasn't been one - but O'Donovans have now expanded to another two sites and there have been plenty of near misses and hairy moments (including my own five year old nearly going under a wheel that was bigger than me when a site vehicle was driving on the pavement).

The weather is improving, the park is nearly finished but I'm not sure how much I'll be using it. There are O'Donovans lorries driving around even on Sundays. ITAL lorries parked on the crossover so even on Sundays you have to walk in the middle of the road. Stressful with children.

Think I'd rather drive out of borough - it's safer. So much for GREEN Haringey.
