Lynne's Parliament and Haringey diary

Wednesday morning - swelling and inflammation down - the osteopath bangs joint back into place and pain finally disappears as if by magic.

At my surgery at Muswell Hill Library that evening, hear a heartrending history of a family about to be evicted seemingly as result of long unresolved issues with Haringey. With children involved - hope they don't have to resort to seeking a stable. Urgent action required

Then off to Wood Vale. Residents are setting up a residents' association and have invited two of Haringey's traffic officers (and me) to informal discussion about the knock-on from the Highgate Station CPZ and traffic calming. Constructive meeting - but as ever - not enough dead people in Wood Vale to fulfil criteria for traffic calming. Strangely enough they seem to find funds for Labour pet schemes regardless of traffic statistics - but the speed on Wood Vale (and Cranley Gardens for that matter) leaves them unmoved. They do, however, promise to draw better lines and signs etc.
