Lynne's Parliament and Haringey diary

First up on Friday is meeting at Highgate Tube to discuss the dreaded fence issue. Without going back over the arguments - residents are divided about the fence on Archway Road by Highgate Tube station as on the one hand people living on the roads behind the station want good protection against all the noise from the road, whilst those on the road or going along the road don't want an eyesore.

Anyway, a fence got put in with Transport for London also promising a lot of planting that would end up screening the fence - and allow it to be replaced with a chain link fence instead. Problem - the planting never grew - well not fully.

Anyway, TfL had obviously done their work to find a solution - which is to put in maturish trees and new planting so that before too long - the cutting will look beautiful and dense and the solid fence will be able to be replaced with chain link. But still a long way to go...
