When planning consent was given for the new station building at Tottenham Hale, integral to the project was a new access foot bridge linking the east side of the station to Hale Village, Ferry Lane and other housing areas lying to the east of the tracks, as well as to the Award Winning Walthamstow Wetlands. Over three years of delay and argument, there is still no firm plan to build the promised Link Bridge, with funding being given as the primary reason. In the meantime the current path with over 90,000 users PER MONTH (see above) has become a crime hotspot with students, young Mums and the elderly particularly vulnerable on a crowded unsafe section of pavement only TWO METRES WIDE. A short term plan to widen the current footpath over Ferry Lane is still fundamentally UNSAFE, does not meet the planning consent and is simply a cost saving solution which will mean that the improvements to Tottenham Hale station do not benefit local Tottenham people at all, but simply assist commuters using the station as an interchange. THIS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Local residents, students living in UNITE accommodation, families, the elderly, employees on two large local industrial estates as well as users of local health care facilities and over 5,000 new residents due to move into the local area in coming years have been cheated. We demand that the Mayor takes action with the leadership of Transport for London and Network Rail to find a solution to BUILD A BRIDGE now which will meet the planning consent, enable local people to directly access rail and underground services and will eliminate the need to use the unsafe Ferry Lane footpath crossing.
