During a recent Street Surgery that we did around Queens Road a number of residents alerted us to the poor state of the passage way that runs from Bounds Green Road past Bowes Park Station and beyond. Residents complained that the passage was full of rubbish and that they often witnessed anti-social behaviour.

As ward councillors we have tried to address some of these concerns:
· We have met with the Bounds Green Safer Neighbourhood Team and they agreed to make the passage a local policing priority.
· Bought the Councils Chief Executive to see the passage and had Council Officers clean up the passage
· Today we met with Network Rail and asked them to commit to cleaning up their section of the passage (behind the metal fence)

We also asked Network Rail to look into repainting the railway bridge and improving the lighting on the bridge as well as various other measures that would improve the station. Numbers of passengers using Bowes Park Station is at an all time high so we are in a strong position to make the case for some investment in this station!

Please do make sure you report any anti-social behaviour to the Bounds Green SNT http://content.met.police.uk/Team/Haringey/BoundsGreen as its really important they know what to look out for.
We will be keeping an eye on the passage over the coming months to make sure it stays clean but do report anything you see either through the Haringey website or by emailing Clare, Joanna or I.

Here is the front page story:

It is a shame that the sub headline is “Haringery cleans up its act  on the borough border in Bowes Park” when it was being alleged that it was LBEnfield that was being recalcitrant.

 

The following extract is clipped from the image:

 

 

Perhaps a local resident can confirm whether or not an employee on behalf the local authority in Enfield cleaned the Enfield side on Tuesday 21st October?

London Borough of Enfield made an Order in relation to

The Fouling of Land by Dogs  London Borough of Enfield Order 2009 

which came into force on 14th March 2009

But if anyone wants to make a complaint to 020 8379 1000 or log on line here

the officials insist (see below) that the location has a house number and a postcode:

I doubt it was, as neither Russell Road, or The Enfield part of Whittington were done.

This Enfield Council spokesman is lying

I think that Brownlow road is a good example of the two boroughs working together - the trees are now looked after much better by both. So while I accept that there may be problems in the alley I would like to support Enfield for the huge improvement to the trees in the road which look cared for and sympathetically pruned so that the trees and buses can co- exist.
