Why isn't Myddleton Road like this? - Bowes and Bounds Connected2024-03-28T23:48:21Zhttps://bowesandbounds.org/forum/topics/why-isn-t-myddleton-road-like-this?commentId=6278630%3AComment%3A236411&xg_source=activity&feed=yes&xn_auth=noI was responding to Bernadett…tag:bowesandbounds.org,2021-10-12:6278630:Comment:2376832021-10-12T19:49:57.459ZAnna Jenkinshttps://bowesandbounds.org/profile/AnnaJenkins

<p>Wood Green centre itself has gone downhill (low quality shops, people relieving themselves in the street etc), the stretch of the High Road between Wood Green and the A406 is populated by cafes that some say are connected to money laundering, with groups of men hanging around outside, which some people find intimidating.</p>
<p>And sadly Myddleton Road seems to be heading the same way. For instance..in the entire Myddleton road why isn't there anywhere to go for a nice meal?</p>

<p>Myddleton road these days appears to have about 5 or 6 small cafes mostly populated by young men who hang around on the pavement outside the cafes. It certainly doesn't seem as "welcoming" as it was a few years ago.</p>

<p>I made a quick trip to Leyton the weekend before last to take a look a Francis Road, as suggested by Anna and Lucy, see photos below:</p>

<p>The street does seem very similar (although with fewer shops) to Myddleton Road, with a number of independent shops and cafes in a street that is not a major thoroughfare, but tucked away in a residential area. </p>
<p></p>
<p>As Anna says, Francis Road does seem to be in a better condition, and less car-dominated than Myddleton Road is at the moment, although our street seemed a bit more bustling and lively on a Sunday lunchtime. </p>
<p></p>
<p>It seems to me that in the short-term Myddleton Road probably needs a good spring-clean, and then it would be good if it could have some substantial investment to start to bring it up to the level of other regenerating local high streets like Francis Road.</p> yep. it's gone downhill. pave…tag:bowesandbounds.org,2021-08-02:6278630:Comment:2366202021-08-02T15:21:22.924ZAnna Jenkinshttps://bowesandbounds.org/profile/AnnaJenkins
<p>yep. it's gone downhill. pavements are dirty and cracked, litter everywhere, too many parked cars, too many people "hanging around" blocking the pavement, the "covid" barriers make it look like a construction site, too many potholes for cyclists, too much dumped rubbish (always pallets etc), the man who seems to be always fixing cars in the street, too many shabby and poorly design shop fronts etc etc</p>

Well, when I read this post I can’t help to think that we lost our three amazing Councillors Joanna, Clare and Ali that gave their all to ensure not only Myydleton Rd but the whole of BG was at the forefront of funds from the Local authority. I have seen the area slowly going back to its bad old days and this is quite sad to see.

My daughter lives near Francis Road and I am very envious. So yes please. Tidied up and pedestrianised would be great. Might encourage new shops too

<p>I agree that a move towards pedestrianisation would be great. There can still be deliveries to businesses. Other places do it. There is a need to be very vigilant as the new planning rules mean that shops can be converted to housing without planning permission!!! And we have seen the results of awful conversions!</p>

<p>it really needs either pedestrianising completely, or reducing the car parking and widening and improving the pavements. currently the pavements are too narrow, dirty, cracked and there are too many groups of people "hanging around" on them</p>

<p>Yes! I've often referred to Francis Road but don't feel like anyone is really listening!! </p>
<p>I keep meaning to go down there for a visit. From the photos it looks so similar to MR. </p>
<p>There have been a lot of requests recently to officers and councillors from Haringey to consider part time pedestrianisation of MR. Lets hope something happens soon.</p>
