Wrong time for traffic survey (From Times Series)

Carol
Cant understand your comments. Are you aware that Daws Lane is not just used by the few parents taking their children to school in the morning, there is actually more non school traffic using that road.
I also never heard or saw anyone complaining/writing articles to the local newspaper) when the HGV delivery lorries for the garden centre were driving and parking on Daws Lane ( funny that!!)
Surely that was more of a danger.

It does not matter what steps are taken to prevent this or that nobody takes any notice. Just further down Daws Lane just by the Mail sorting office it is quite clearly NO PARKING ,there is a sign that states CLEARWAY ZONE with its operating period. However this does not apply to the dozens of British Gas Vans that park on the double yellow lines every day to pop into the Sorting Office to collect their parcels of spare parts.
The parking attendants dont bother to do anything,they just turn a blind eye.
Yes it is crazy that all the extra cars fill every space of the road Double Yellows or corners. It is an offence to park within so many metres of a junc, but nobody will do anything about it.

Mr Smyth .. Its called growth.There is pent up demand within the "local" area for a school. With considerate implementation i am sure a compromise or agreement can be made. If not a school you can expect to see a Tesco or new homes ( possibly even squatters).. so take your pic. Either way the site can not be allowed to go derelict and you have a choice .. 30 mins slightly more agro at school arriving / leaving times .. or all day. You have seen what has happened at cannons corner with the Tesco there ! its carnage. Regards

What on earth are you on about?
I never said in my reply that I was against a school or Tescos or a garden center. What i said if you have actually bothered to read before jumping to your keyboard was that no one in authority (the parking attendants) who has the oppertunity to change things and make it safer for people in that area ,be it residents,people going to school,a tescos or to a garden center or the park will do anything.
It doesnt matter what is there, people parking where they shouldnt and making it hazardous for others need to be dealt with.

@redrenault..noticed how you said pent up demand in the 'local' area. Local being what to you? If you’re Jewish at the least is the selection criterion. If this area needs a school, surely it should be for all faiths and teach academia firstly and leave the religion to family's to teach their children. I see this type of school causing division within London’s multi-cultural society.

Harvey .. Are you saying that if it was NOT a Jewish school you would support the proposal ?

@Ms Reid - I too am Poets' Corner resident and accept that sometimes, like most of the rest of London, traffic around our area can be a nightmare - however this is not down to the school. You state that the worst time is between 08.15 and 08.45. I understand that Etz Chaim does not open until 08.45 so surely they cannot be blamed for all the traffic?
@harvey_uk - I am wondering what your issue with Jewish people is (and after reading your posts on this website for a while all other minority groups in the UK)? The Jewish population of Mill Hill is well established, growing and a real asset to the community. There is huge demand for another Jewish School in Mill Hill and this has been accepted by Dept for Education. Further more the rules which govern free schools are such that only 50% of the places available are given on the basis of religion and the rest are given on distance. This is not one of the school's rules but is governed by statute. Plus we live in a functioning democracy where people are given choices. If you do not want your child to go to a school with a particular ethos then you simply do not send them there. On the other should someone else wish to do so then as democratic citizens we should respect the needs and wants of others. I would suggest that you do your homework before opening the hole under your nose ...
@james symth - I could not agree with you more. There are long standing issues on this road which have nothing to do with the school and you are spot on in your comment that if the highways signs were obeyed by everyone and enforced properly then there really would not be a problem on this street.

So far my experience of this school so far has been very positive. I have not seen the parents / pupils causing any extra traffic and so far the school has been a great neighbour for the area. The bigger problem in Poets' Corner is, dare I say a certain other school!!!
