<div></div>Hackney Council is about to carry out works to improve conditions for cyclists along Regents Row. These works are aimed at making Regents Row easier to use for cyclists and improving the connection with the Regents Canal Towpath and Queensbridge Road Canal Bridge.<br />
<br />
<div></div>The towpath often gets very busy and space is limited. These proposals are aimed at providing better access for cyclists to use alternative routes and so help relieve pressure and reduce conflict between cyclists and pedestrians using the towpath. <br />
<br />
The plans include:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>Extending the pavement at the western end of Regents Row by the entrance to the towpath and building a ramp for cyclists. </li>
<li>Removing the existing barrier gate at the intersection of Regents Row and Marlborough Avenue. </li>
<li>Painting double yellow lines along Regents Row between Marlborough Avenue and Queensbridge Road bridge to prevent vehicles obstructing the road and to maintain accessibility. These measures will not reduce or impact on current parking provision in the area.</li>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The coalition government plan to axe the funding to the Geffrye Museum on Kingsland Road putting its future in real doubt. Funding from the Department of Culture, Media & Sport accounts for 75% of the Geffrye's income and will end in 2015. A number of other museums across the country will be similarly affected.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Geffrye Museum details the history of homes and interiors through a series of rooms showing what home life was like from the 1600s to the present day.</span><br />

We aim to identify alternative sponsors for these museums by April 2011. "</span></span><br />

The Council has launched a consultation on a proposed 20mph zone for Shoreditch. If you want to read more about the proposals click <b><a href="https://www.engagespace.co.uk/engage/hackney/consultation_Dtl.aspx?consult_Id=1964&status=2&criteria=I&DisplayMode=Docs">here</a></b>.<br />
<br />
As well as reducing the speed limit to 20mph, the proposals include:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul><li>Raised crossing at Great Eastern Street and Garden Walk junction</li>
<li>Raising Charlotte Road between Rivington Street and Old Street to make it a pedestrian environment in the evenings</li>
<li>Planting some trees at suitable locations in Rivington Street, Garden Walk, New Inn Broadway and Charlotte Road</li>
<li>Some footway widening in Rivington Street and north of New Inn Broadway to create shared surface and improve pedestrian walking experience</li>
</ul><div>Some residents have already been in touch to share their concerns about the pedestrianising of streets in the evenings leading to more problems from night time drinkers.

Whilst it is caused by the rubbing/slipping of the train’s wheel on the rail as it moves through a curve, the actual elements rubbing/slipping can vary on different curves. To be able to address the problem, it is first necessary to understand which elements are involved.</div><div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

Wheel squeal - this results when the part of the wheel which rests on the rail slips small amounts repeatedly across the top of the rail</div><div class="ecxMsoListParagraph" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0px;">2. Flanging – this is when the wheel flange (the overhung side of wheel which prevents the wheel from coming off the rail) rubs against the side of the rail.</div><div class="ecxMsoListParagraph" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0px;">3. Flange contact - where the back of the wheel flange makes contact with an additional rail (the check rail) which helps ensure that the train does not de-rail on a corner.</div><div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

However, other factors that can influence the occurrence of curving noise include:</div><div class="ecxMsoListParagraph" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0px;">· undulating (up and down) track</div><div class="ecxMsoListParagraph" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0px;">· rough wheel and/or rail surfaces</div><div class="ecxMsoListParagraph" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0px;">· out of shape wheels</div><div class="ecxMsoListParagraph" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0px;">· weather conditions (particularly the presence / absence of rain or the level of humidity)</div><div class="ecxMsoListParagraph" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0px;">· variations in train speed.</div><div class="ecxMsoListParagraph" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

On the East London Line, a number of flange lubricators have been installed to lessen the friction between the wheel flange and the rail – thus reducing flanging noise. In addition, top of rail friction modifiers have been installed to control the levels of friction on the top of the rail and thus limit the noise associated with wheel squeal.</div><div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

These units are relatively new pieces of equipment, and they do not currently have full approval to be used on National Rail network – currently they are only be used on National Rail network at selected sites under a trial approval certificate.</div><div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

However, given the new nature of the equipment, there will inevitably be a period of time required to adjust the set-up such that the units work to their maximum effectiveness.</div><div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

As such, any adjustments that are made need to be made in a controlled and systematic manner. This obviously takes time. Time is also needed after any adjustments to determine whether the adjustment has been beneficial or not in reducing curving noise.</div><div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

<br />
For Haggerston residents this really is the age of the train.<br />

As the election becomes set for a three way ‘photo finish’ teams representing the three main political parties will compete to win a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_sided_football">3-sided football match</a> played on a hexagonal pitch at 3pm on Sunday 2 May in Haggerston Park, London E2.<br />
<br />
Representing the Labour Party are Philosophy Football FC; Conservative Futures and the University of the Arts form the Conservative team; while the liberal leaning graphic designers play for the Liberal Democrats.<br />
<br />
With 3 teams, 2 referees and the side conceding the least goals winning the match, this promises to be a very different angle on the beautiful game.<br />
<br />
The match is organised by the Whitechapel Gallery’s new writer-in-residence, Sally O’Reilly. She wants the game to echo the alliances, competition and connivances of the political machine.<br />
<br />
Geoff Andrews, Manager of Philosophy Football FC, said: ‘The General Election has turned into a three-sided affair and so a three-sided football match seemed apt. We can expect some sharp tactics from Mandelson and co though nothing to compare with what will be on display at Haggerston Park.’<br />
<br />
<br />
• Origins of 3 Sided Football. Devised by artist Asger Jorn (1914–1973), his idea for 3 sided football was for it to deconstruct the confrontational, bi-polar nature of party politics. So instead of winning by scoring goals, a team wins by conceding the fewest goals.<br />
• 5 Rules of 3 Sided Football as proposed by Philosophy Football FC:<br />
o SCORING : A team does not count the goals it scores, only the goals it concedes. The winner is the team that concedes the fewest goals.<br />
o THROW-INS / CORNERS : On the hexagonal pitch, each team has two sides of the six-sided pitch: the side with the goal (the 'backside') and the side opposite to your goal (the 'frontside'). If the ball goes out on one of your two sides, you get the throw-in / goal-kick. If it went out off a player, the throw-in or corner goes to the team whose own goal is nearest to where the ball went out.<br />
o REFEREES : There will be two referees.<br />
o LENGTH OF TIME : Ideally, teams will play until people get bored, start to wander off, fall asleep etc: however, three thirty minute 'halves' with teams rotating goals should work well.<br />
o NO OFFSIDES : There will be rolling subs, rush goalies etc.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36637014.post-19858152106296345602010-04-27T08:45:00.000+00:002010-04-27T08:45:00.392+00:00Haggerston Joins the Tube<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br />

After a long campaign by Hackney’s Mayor, Jules Pipe, Hackney is finally joining the Tube.<br />
<br />
The huge £1.4bn infrastructure investment by Labour means Haggerston residents can use their Oyster card on new, fast and direct trains to the City, New Cross, Crystal Palace and West Croydon from the new Hoxton & Haggerston stations.<br />
<br />
Later, the service will be extended to Highbury & Islington, Surrey Quays and Clapham Junction, opening up wider job opportunities for Hackney people.<br />
<br />
Labour celebrated the completion of the East London Line investment with an event at the new Dalston Junction station with Jules Pipe and Meg Hillier.<br />

<br />
Shoreditch residents and businesses have been plagued by power cuts recently - often with little or no warning.<br />
<br />
Local people have set up an online action group <a href="http://shoreditchtriangle.ning.com/">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I've written to the CEO of EDF, Vincent de Rivaz, asking for a plan to sort out the technical issues causing so many power cuts and to improve communication with residents and businesses.<br />
<br />
God knows what the good people of the old Metropolitan Borough of Shoreditch would have made of all this.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
