| 説明 | 26 February 2009. No apologies for revisiting this smelly little corner.On Christmas Day 2007 I took several photos of dumping and litter along Moorefield Road and the adjoining St Loy's Road. (2) (3) (4) (5) (6).My earlier photo of the same corner was used in Where We Live; a Guidebook to Urban Design by Deer Park Alpha. (Jointly published by the former Solent Centre for Architecture+Design and South East England Development Agency (SEEDA). The latter was a government funded development agency. It lost its funding and closed in 2012.This nook was used to illustrated an aspect of poor practice in urban design - blank walls. In fact the problem is worse. Although there were no bags of rubbish dumped here on 26 February 2009, I was told this corner was sometimes used as an alfresco toilet - especially by some of the street drinkers who congregated in Moorefield Road at the time.Haringey continues to work with local Police to tackle the problem - including fines and a Dispersal Order. But a longer term solution is needed for the sake of local residents and businesses; and other people walking along these streets. The brick wall on the left is part of Bruce Grove Railway Station. The Royal Mail main Tottenham Sorting Office is located in Moorefield Road. So is Mems DIY and another longstanding builders' supplies firm. Bruce Grove Primary School is in the next street. And San Marco Restaurant is close-by.On 5 March 2009 I again raised this with Haringey's Urban Environment Department - which deals with Waste Management, Planning, and Regeneration. I asked if there was a design solution which could help. On 19 March 2009 I had a helpful email from the Neighbourhood Management Service about the Council's initiatives to tackle problems caused by street drinking in the area. I had hoped to post the reply from the Haringey's Urban Environment Department. I never got one. That Department was later abolished.But not forgotten. |
