Haringey Council wants to understand what changes people want for better public transport, sustainable travel, safer streets, and vibrant community spaces

Residents can “help shape the future of transport and travel” in the Alexandra area by taking part in a “co-production exercise” with Haringey Council.

The council wants to hear from local residents as it develops a plan to improve how people travel around this part of the borough.

The project aims to understand what changes people want for better public transport, sustainable travel, safer streets, and vibrant community spaces.

Mike Hakata, cabinet member for climate action, environment and transport, said: “We’ve launched this platform to create an easy-access space to share your experiences of travelling around the Alexandra area.

“Whether you walk, cycle, drive, or use public transport, we want to hear from you. We are determined that local people, who know their neighbourhood best, will be able tell us what travel improvements would help.

“Join the conversation and let’s work together to create a community where everyone can move around safely, easily and comfortably.”

The initiative sets out to tap into the “strengths, knowledge, expertise and passion” of local people to tackle the big challenges the borough faces. Visitors to the online platform can find out full details of the project, comment on a range of issues via a questionnaire and use an interactive map to place pins with their feedback.

The deadline for responses to the survey is 19th August 2024.
