At last, the Council is pressing ahead with plans to introduce ‘streetcars’ at 41 locations in Haringey. This has taken eons, and neighbouring boroughs have had streetcars for some time – the pic shows Lynne Featherstone booking herself a streetcar in Islington, in 2007.There is more info at http://www.streetcar.co.uk/. It’s a great service, though I would like to see more than one provider in the future. As the website says:
Streetcar has cars parked in a dense network of dedicated spaces across London and several other UK cities, typically within a few minutes walk of your home or work. You can use one for as little as 30 minutes or as long as 6 months.
The council is now consulting on the locations for Highgate. Those mooted:
Two car club vehicles will be located in Cromwell Avenue, N6. This will require the installation of two car club parking bays for specific use by these vehicles and will involve a change in use of two existing CPZ parking bays.
Two car club vehicles will be located in Church Road, N6. This will involve a change in use of two existing CPZ parking bays.
Two car club vehicles will be located in Hillside Gardens, N6. This will involve a change in use of two existing CPZ parking bays.
The council consultation is here. We’re looking in detail at the planned locations, and have other ideas on how to expand the service.

Pleased to see that the Lib Dems are supporting car clubs rather than the whingers who complain that they will lose 'their' parking spaces.
