A local councillor has welcomed the imminent end of a long campaign to reverse the controversial ‘no left turn’ from the Archway Road into the Muswell Hill Road. Ross Laird, Lib Dem councillor for Muswell Hill, made the issue a key issue of the by-election campaign that brought him on to Haringey Council in May 2000.And two and a half years later, he says it is about time the saga was brought to an end.

The works, undertaken by Transport for London, have been progressing over the summer and should be completed by the end of August.

Cllr Ross Laird comments:

“After all this time, it’s good to see that common sense is prevailing, and that left turning into Muswell Hill Road is being restored. The change was a nonsense, and it will be a relief to see the back of it.”
