If you have a particular grot-spot you want sorted in 2010, or some ugly old street furniture you want removed then now could be your chance. On 14th January I’ve arranged to do a walkabout with Stroud Green’s new “Street Enforcement Officer” so I can point out problem areas.
One of my New Year’s wishes would be for the Council to eventually remove this ugly defunct old non-BT phone box on Weston Park (see picture). Its something I’ve raised repeatedly over the years but the Council refuse to remove it themselves saying its the phone company’s job. However, they never seem to have any success in getting the phone company to do anything – I suspect they went bust years ago.
If you have any similar obsessions with street furniture or a dumping hot spot you want me to point out to the “enforcer” then please get in contact. Happy New Year!

Didn’t the council finally remove some phone boxes in Muswell Hill and one on Stroud Green Road a little while back which were also from a firm that had gone bust?
My wish would be to clear up and keep tidy the entrance to the Network Rail site down near the southern end of Stroud Green Road (opposite Morris Place). There’s often abandoned traffic cones, rubbish etc in the space leading up to the gate.
