Bowes and Bounds Connected
Bowes Passage
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.

Great news that this path is getting some attention - the stretch between Bounds Green Road and Bowes Park railway station seems regularly used by loitering men to drink beer, throw cans on the floor and then use it as a public urinal. The fly tipping further down - past Bowes Park Station is really awful - and of course the dog poo quota on all parts of the path is high. It is a really handy path but I would certainly never use it after dark as it is so poorly lit. It just feels really unloved - in such stark contrast to the fabulous herb planters on the station.

Efforts to sort out this pathway have made it onto the front page of the local paper - worth a read as it features our very own Cllr Demerci.
