Neighbourhood Improvement - for whom?
Just over a year ago Islington Council introduced an ambitious Neighbourhood Traffic Scheme on Buchartian lines, blessed by the Labour Government, the Conservative GLC and the residents' own Barnsbury Association.

DANNY DOOLAN , chairman, Barnsbury Action Group
MRS JACQUELINE KENNISH , secretary, Barnsbury Association
COUNCILLOR ROBIN MABEY , vice-chairman. Islington Borough Council Planning Committee
