The online opinion survey about the proposed new clock for Palmers Green Triangle has now finished. Many thanks to everyone who participated.
The survey revealed mixed views. Two out of three of respondents liked the idea of erecting a clock, though only around 50 per cent were keen on the proposed design. There was near unamiity, however, on the question of whether or not the triangular traffic island should remain - 59 out of 63 people would not like it to be removed, as recommended by a consutant a couple of years ago.
The results were as follows:
| Should there be a clock? | |
| - Yes | 42 |
| - No | 21 |
| Like the proposed design? | |
| - Yes | 32 |
| - No | 31 |
| Keep the traffic island? | |
| - Yes | 59 |
| - Don't mind either way | 4 |
| - No | 0 |
As well as voting, most of the respondents provided comments about the clock and also about the more general question of how to improve the Triangle. These comments are reproduced in full below.If you're not familiar with the proposed clock design, it's described in two earlier reports - here and here.
