MP slams pay of Edmonton incinerator bosses - Comment by Karl Brown
26 May 2022 Some interesting implications from the latest incinerator news picked up from this week’s PGC newsletter, “Reported elsewhere”. The relevant press article link here is in case anyone missed it www.guardian-series.co.uk/news/20043011.mp-slams-pay-edmonton-incinerator-bosses/?ref=twtrec . For me it raises three important points.

Safer Neighbourhood Team priorities survey - Comment by Karl Brown
21 May 2022 Just to add a challenge I'm advised the policing SNT ward areas didn't follow the recent political boundary changes, so individuals who may have recently changed wards for political voting purposes may still be in their previous pre May 22 political wards for policing - or so it applies to PG and Winchmore Hill old political / current policing wards[…] Read more...

Report recommends road pricing as fairer than fuel duty - Comment by Karl Brown
19 May 2022 Occurs to me that if we are looking at a (massive) 17-51% increase in road traffic within a generation then fiddling about with how to tax it might not be the optimal route in addressing a better future for us all. Read more...

London rail passengers less likely to use trains if services reduced. Are we being used as guinea pigs? - Comment by Karl Brown
16 May 2022 The converse to reducing rail is of course to increase it, and as Crossrail seemed to show, that drives expected demand with areas along the planned route quickly becoming desirable and nearby businesses also paying incremental dues in some form, not least to help fund it. Crossrail 2, before it was cancelled, positioned the New Southgate area and its proposed[…] Read more...

Council election results in and around Palmers Green - Comment by Adrian Day
12 May 2022 Agree. Also good to see the 'single issue' anti-LTN candidates fail to get any seats. The claim that only a tiny minority want LTNs is shown to be a lie - both the wards covering the biggest area of the two new LTNS, New Southgate and Palmers Green rejected the Conservatives (who promised to remove them).
