Have seen at least one face that I remember from two or three years ago when
there was a bunch of youths racing around the neighbourhood, mainly centered in
Harvey Road. At the time the Safer Neighbourhoods Team clamped down on them
plus I think one or two moved away and the disruption only lasted a few months.
I have noticed scooters once or twice recently in Harvey Road but nothing
inordinate.
Why not have a word with the SNT again? I believe they have the power to
impound scooters that are illegal, not roadworthy, not taxed, uninsured etc and
demand a hefty release fee which vagabonds are unlikely to be able to afford.
Worth a try I would have thought.

I would appreciate if you could all circulate this through your networks and to friends etc. The Grocer (the food industry trade journal) are going to feature this on this Sat, Oct 31 and I have promised to keep under wraps until then, so pse tell all, but do not do so until Sat!!!
Have you noticed that the price of Bananas seems very low these days? Well there is a good reason for this and that's because there is a price war going on, led by the Wal*Mart subsidiary Asda.
With UK banana prices now at 1/3 of the real price they were 7 years ago, there is only one loser in all this and that is banana farmers and workers in the developing world.
Our appeal to you - if you care about the plight of banana workers in the developing world, don't buy cheap bananas in the Supermarkets, buy them elsewhere!
So before getting some key facts on the table, the call to action:
Please stop buying cheap bananas in supermarkets!
Tell all your friends, families and even enemies!
If you are a retailer, join in our campaign, so you too can tell your customers (see our website: www.thorntonsbudgens.com <http://www.thorntonsbudgens.com> to download flyers etc).
We at Thornton's Budgens are not going to play in this wreckless 'game' and for the month of November will be donating all our banana profits to a plantation workers organisation in Costa Rica.
Just in case you're not already convinced, here are some more facts:
* In 2002 (before the last banana price war), the price per kilo in major supermarkets was £1.10.
* As at the end of October 2009, the price in Asda and Morrisons was 38p per kilo, about 1/3 (in real terms) of the 2002 price. The other majors (including the more ethically minded Waitrose and M&S) are also selling bananas for a stupidly low prices.
* The Windward Islands banana trade depends largely on the UK Supermarkets for their survival. In 1992, they had 24,000 banana farms; today there are a mere 4,000.
* The major supermarkets say they are absorbing the cost of this themselves. This may be the case right now, but nowhere in the history of modern supermarkets is there an example of the cost of a price war being absorbed long term. It's no surprise that the annual banana contracts come up for renewal in January. You can imagine the opening line of meetings when buyers sit down their suppliers to re-negotiate...
* There is only one loser in all this and that's the people of banana growing lands who are powerless in the equation.
* Banana Link established that after the last major Banana price war, that the workers get 2-3% of the retail price of a banana; the supermarkets get 40%. Where the product is Fairtrade, the small farmers' and workers' share rises to 12 percent.
* The same Banana Link study identified that to earn the weekly minimum wage in Costa Rica, many workers had to work 15 hours a day, 6 days a week; their average wage per hour, a mere 33p! To download this report go to our website.
* On Monday October 26, Wal*Mart dropped the price of Bananas in the US by 27% to 39 cents/lb. This is a global powerplay for market domination at the expense of the less fortunate. If you think about the impact of a UK price war, one in the US will have 5 times the effect on the global banana market.
The best article that's been written about this was in the Observer. It is linked to the third news item on the Banana Link home page:#
You will also see a link to 'You and Yours' on Radio 4 which also covered the subject. For those hungry for more information, do look through the rest of their web site.
If you are a retailer and want to join this campaign, please see our website.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and hopefully acting upon it.

As the sellers of the property in question we obviously have a vested interest, but it has never bothered us in the 12 years we've lived here, especialy as the wife of the couple we bought it from had lived here all her life, as had her parents who died at 90+.
However, one point our buyers' surveyor raised was that the substation building is looking somewhat uncared for (buddleia taken root on the walls etc) and this is not normal for a working substation. Now we think about it, we've not seen anybody visiting for maintenance for a couple of years, so we're wondering if it has in fact been de-commissioned. Anybody know how we can find out for sure and what the plans might be?

I looked into this a bit when we bought our house at 53 Rathcoole Ave a bit further down from the sub-station. There is mountains of scary material on the web about this but in the end I decided (very scientifically) that we could neither hear nor feel anything nasty and liked the house so we went ahead. So far none of the household has experienced any symptoms............touch wood!

Dear neighbours – does anyone have a view on this enquiry from a prospective Rathcoole resident (below)? Is there anything to worry about?
Bruno
We are in process of buying a house in Rathcoole Avenue close to the substation.We have only just been made aware of health concerns with regard to the radiation field emitted by substations. Are you aware of any steps taken to protect residents from this possible radiation or any other relevant information (or a an organisation we could refer to?We have a child so we are concerned but love the street and house!
Thank you in anticipation.
Ooh errr.. That’s a new one on me I have to say... I reckon the substation must have been there quite some while... Have not heard of anyone suffering ill effects..

>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Dear Diane Dalmon,
Just in case you have not already heard, I am writing to let you know that
there has been a new application for a lap dancing club on Tottenham Lane
in Crouch End. In spite of our efforts to stop the Music Palace getting
direct permission to run a lap dancing club in the heart of our community,
the applicants are back - this time they are trying a different tack and
are applying for planning permission.
Im again working very closely with the Lapoff campaigners and my Lib Dem
Councillor colleague Dave Winskill to make sure residents get to have a
say. Councillor Winskill has already sent in a broad objection to the
application, and has asked Haringey Council to host a public planning forum
so the community has the maximum opportunity to get involved in this
important decision.
I will be submitting my own objection in the next few weeks. Please make
sure you have your say too. You can view the full application online at; http://www.haringey.gov.uk/index/housing_and_planning/planning-mainpage/applications/view_applications.htm
- Go to view applications and enter reference HGY/2009/0953. You can also
email customercare@... with this reference clearly indicating
it is a planning objection. Please do copy me into your email so I can get
a feel for your thoughts on the matter.
With the community standing together I hope we can see off this
application.
Kind regards,
Lynne Featherstone
MP for Hornsey & Wood Green (Liberal Democrat) lynne@...
020 8340 5459
PS - Please do forward this email to any of your neighbours who might not
have heard about the new application and would want to have their say.
The small print:
I have sent you this email because, according to our records, you have
previously contacted me or a colleague on one of the above issues and/or
agreed to receive news by email from us. However, if you believe a mistake
has been made or if you would rather not receive such emails in future,
please let me know.

Hi there
Just wanted to let you know that she is back yet again! She rang our door bell
last night at 11.30pm with the same story. Thing is, she's already done this to
us before-3 or 4 yrs ago she knocked at 8.30am and unfortunately caught me off
guard and I actually gave her money! (Foolish but you live and learn). Can't
believe she tried us again! This must be a fruitful area :)

My partner was asking the same question and suggested I'd something to do with the disappearance as like some of you I've watched the bulbs being dug up and bird food eaten from the squirrel proof feeding containers...grrrrrrrrr...he's a great fan of them as they make him laugh.....however, un/luckily (dependant on your point of view) they were spotted in the garden (2) in the garden (yesterday) so they're back.

Quite. They used to dig up all my bulbs and eat all the bird food I put out in allegedly squirrrelproof containers.
Could be the feral cat which terrorised all ours cats in Rathcoole Gardens & Avenue for several months... come to think of it, haven't seen him around either!

But I haven't seen a single one for at least six months.
Local resident Mario Petrou (020 8352 1020) who is without a computer, has asked
me to distribute the following notice publicising the European Election Hustings

Can you please further circulate this or forward to anyone who may be
interested.

I am keen on the idea of a street party and willing to help if I can -
what date is the meeting?
Thanks

Dear all - this, from Cllr Errol Reid:
Dear Residents
Two years ago I visited your AGM hoping to organise a street party and
bring residents together.
I feel that in this time of credit crunch and much unhappiness in the
country and around the world we need to extend a hand of friendship and
community to our neighbours.
I have the permission of Bruno to write to you all and I hope some of
you
will remember me.
It is accepted that your part of the ward has been neglected in terms of
funding for making the difference budget.
I do hope that many of you will turn up at the meeting I am going to
call
at St Mary¹s JuniorSchoolon RectoryGardens.
The final date for applying for the grant is March 31ST 2009.
I do hope that as many of you will turn up as possible and share some of
the responsibility for taking this forward.
Please feel free to suggest any other activity you may wish to see go
forward.
Bruno has done a fantastic job and I am grateful to him for the work he
has
done.
I am prepared to put a lot of effort into helping and so will others in
the
Council
You can also ring me on 07866775 731 for a further discussion.
The meeting at St Mary¹s will be on a Monday Tuesday or Thursday
The dead line for proposals to ‘Make the Difference’ Area Assembly Budgets April 2009 to March 2010 is fast approaching (31.3.09) Please see attached leaflet for more details.
My own idea this year is for an Outdoor Gym in Stationers park. Please see picture and web address details below. I could apply as an individual of course, but it could also be a Green N8 community group application, if it inspires the members of our group. At the end, projects that have more public support are more likely to be realised, but I am sure it is not the only criteria.
If you like this idea of Outdoor Gym in Stationers park please reply to this email with one line: ‘I support the idea of Outdoor Gym in Stationers park’ I will collate all responses and apply on behalf of our group.
Equally you can suggest other ideas and of course apply yourselves with any other ideas you may have.
Best Wishes
Ofer GreenN8C o m m u n i t y G r o u p | http://www.GreenN8.org
My idea to ‘Make the Difference’ is:
Proposal: Install Outdoor Gym in Stationers park. Stationers park is an ideal location for an Outdoor Gym like the one in the picture below, (taken in a small park near archway http://www.tgogc.com/find-a-gym/whittington-park/) serving a large local community of Stroud green, Hornsey vale and Hornsey it is right next to a school and a community centre.
It will make a difference to:
• Open spaces
• Young peoples lives
• Older peoples lives
• Families lives
This particular set is from
The Great Outdoor Gym Company Ltd http://www.tgogc.com
It is simple to use, effective and safe
Amount requested:
I have looked at their site and could not find prices, so I guess one would need to contact them to get a quote.
