@charleshebbert I do. I didn’t mean to focus on the jam as much, but given how busy the High St gets, I can’t help wonder if it would look very different when northbound traffic is limited to two lanes.

@Meat_Paul I agree. Most of these temporary widen pavements aren’t used much from my observation. Walking on the road, even with the barriers feels too unsafe and unintuitive. Also, there’s no sense whatsoever most people attempt to maintain social distancing anymore.

RT @Meat_Paul: @StokeyUpdates There has been nothing and nobody in this lane since it was introduced

@RosedaleAction I don’t remember now, but would Brooke Road become 2-way to join the plannned 2-way traffic in Rectory Road?

@MrsJillSamuels True. I wasn’t actually focusing on the congestion when taking the photo, but more generally about how the road is used at the moment.

@realnickperry @jaimebishop @c_r_shaw Nick, any idea given it’s council-owned, if there’s criteria/preference for particular type of commercial tenants? Or does the council handles the letting of the site like any other landlord along the street would?

@jaimebishop @c_r_shaw @realnickperry What do you mean by social benefits? It’s about protecting the historic character of the street.

@SophieCam @mayorofhackney @realnickperry @HackneySociety Thanks! I would think that a small rebuilding project that has been dragging on for 6(!) years is an exception that warrants a formal update on an annual basis at the very least. Surely someone somewhere has a view when it’ll be completed.

@SophieCam @mayorofhackney @realnickperry @HackneySociety Also, I was thinking about formal updates communicated properly to the public walking past this building site for 6 years. As far as I’m aware, there’s been no attempt to communicate with a simple notice what’s going on with this neverending redevelopment. Am I wrong? :)

@SophieCam @mayorofhackney @realnickperry @HackneySociety I stand corrected! Though most recent one was January 2019. Surely someone has a view of the end date. Is that the case? Are they even complete yet? A notice on the window to inform people about current status and completion date would be very welcomed.
