Default thankfully no motorways in Islington!

thankfully no motorways in Islington otherwise they would install speed
bumps every 30metres!

Why is Islington council closing schools but yet able to spend
thousands/millions on speed bumps?

If you wonder down the side streets they have installed about 3 different
kinds of bumps depending on the class of people living in the area - first
the standard dump 3 piles of tarmac in the road, travel 30 metres you will
discover a lovely granite stone bump which has taken 2/3 weeks to construct
and finally the 'table top' speed bump.

Islington council are now installing speed bumps along Liverpool Road also
known to be the B515 - a main road no a rat run!!!!!

Anyone know the cost of installing the various bumps and what budget
Islington coucil is prepared to spend?

Also which London council has decided to get rid of speed bumps?
