Council committee debates quieter neighbourhood residents' petition to allow them to drive past filter point - posted by Geoffrey Kemball-Cook

Thanks Mark for another very interesting post. Can I take issue? I can't agree your point 1, regarding it as unreasonable that Bowes LTN residents should not hope for better access than via the N Circ, on the grounds that[…]

In the context of David’s post, it is understandable that long-time activists against low-traffic initiatives would back the petition, for they will have a clear-eyed view of it as a vehicle to challenge an LTN. But – as I have[…]

I welcome Mark's comments, as a fellow resident and car-owner in the Bowes LTN. It is very important that views both for and against a suggested change are heard. Almost by definition, any change affecting some thousands of people will[…]

They do so understand what an LTN is, and this one and many others have very conspicuously failed to incentivise any switch from private car to more sustainable travel modes: you only have to look at the multiple large cars[…]

As a Bowes LTN resident (and car driver and cyclist), living in New Southgate ward, I find the so-called ‘13 Roads’ petition to exempt local residents from ANPR restrictions deeply flawed. The effect, in a nutshell, would be the semi-privatisation[…]

Jazz in Palmers Green?

Good afternoon PG!

I've recently moved into PG wth my family and like the 'hood very much.

We attended the Blues Festival in Broomfield Park over the summer which was superb. I am a jazz fan too and our 22-year-old son in an up and coming jazz pianist, Sultan Stevenson.

Is there a jazz aficionado group in PG?

Let us know.

Regards, John

Welcome to PG Community, John.

A good question - hopefully, there is such a group and someone will let us know about it.

In the meantime, if you don't know about it already, just down the road in Wood Green there is modern jazz every Thursday and occasionally on other days. It's at a place that used to be called Karamel, but is now confusingly referred to sometimes as MAAD and at other times as McQueens Theatre.

The address is 4 Coburg Road N22 6UJ and you can find out about acts at https://www.musicglue.com/karamel/. The venue also runs weekend events for kids of all ages - see https://collage-arts.org/voices/ and https://collage-arts.org/events/

It's ten minutes walk from Alexandra Palace station.
