Dangerous Pavements?

Stephens House
Our October discussion meeting at Stephens House focused on the state of the pedestrian environment. Peter Hale, a partner in Hogben and Hale Architects and a long standing member of the Society, described how the pedestrian environment in Finchley has been neglected by Barnet Council. Lack of maintenance is exacerbated by vehicles parked in front gardens, damaged and poorly constructed crossovers, parking on pavements, unkempt hedges, refuse bins and other pavement obstructions. Peter argued that the pedestrian environment will continue to be degraded and residents discouraged from walking unless we press Barnet Council to respect and enhance the pedestrian environment.
