Haringey Council has recently consulted on plans for major changes to Wightman Road. The proposals included:

1. pavement parking being replaced with on-street parking
2. the creation of so called ‘informal’ crossings for pedestrians

However, local Lib Dems are warning that more drastic changes are required before Wightman Road is pedestrian and bike friendly.
