LTN day 15 in Noel Park. One of the very worst days since that flooded Thursday. Traffic queuing past the primary school again and cars backed up well beyond the Morley Avenue tree and, at one point on Moselle Ave, all the way back to Darwin. Salisbury & Vincent Rds jammed too.

If there's one criticism of LTNs that's definitely valid, it's that they're horribly divisive. I really hope Haringey Council find a way, as a matter of some urgency, to demonstrate that they are listening to people's concerns and that they have a plan on how to fix the issues.

A piece of Alexandra Palace trivia: Ally Pally had its own indoor bowling green. This was apparently how it looked in 2014, some time after it had been abandoned. It may well still be there today. "No walking backwards."

The public consultation for this ends on Monday. It's clearly a crazy idea that will be massively detrimental to Wood Green (including Bounds Green). If you're local, please consider lodging an objection at the Boundary Commission website: bcereviews.org.uk

Much as I love this stupid place, on days like this it's hard not to think that Wood Green is little more than an ever-growing collection of intensely ugly buildings crowding out the amazing ones.

It was inevitable that it was going to fall some time, but it's still sad that the Hardy Tree at St Pancras Old Church is no more.

Best things about the #Oscars 1. Michelle Yeoh winning Best Actress (though Cate is great in Tar). 2. Ke Huy Quan & Harrison Ford hugging when Everything Everywhere won Best Picture. 3. Sarah Polley for screenplay (deserved a Best Director nom). 4. Hugh Grant saying scrotum.

Am I hearing this right, that the insane Southgate & Wood Green constituency has now been confirmed? To all those people who thought that keeping West Green with Tottenham was more important than keeping Wood Green in a Haringey constituency, I hope you're bloody satisfied. FFS.

Not the most spectacular image but for the second time this year the #aurora was visible over Wood Green in London. #auroraborealis #northernlights

The Noel Park Big Local has made such a remarkable impact in the Noel Park community. It’s time to rally behind them and urge Haringey Council to save the Russell Park playhouse and deliver the new playground as promised✍️ change.org/p/save-the-rus…
