Bus stop by Channing School
Does anyone have any idea who to contact? It's very annoying that this bus stop isn't in use, and no one seems to be doing anything about that wall. If anyone has any information then I would be grateful if you could post it here. I assume that part of the road is Haringey council?

Hi Beth, please see news article below regarding the wall you have mentioned

Repairs to a historic Highgate Wall found at risk of collapse have started this week.
The work on the wall in The Bank, N6, above Highgate High Street, had been put on hold as Haringey Council waited for the English Heritage to approve its plans to part demolish and rebuild the wall.
The Bank was closed to traffic in August this year after an inspection by the council found the wall was suffering from structural damage and was at risk of collapse.
A 30m stretch of pavement in Highgate High Street was also closed off to protect pedestrians in the area from any collapse of the wall, which dates back from at least the 18 Century and is a Grade II listed structure.
English Heritage confirmed on Wednesday 25 November that it was happy with the sample brickwork provided by the council for the partial rebuilding of up to 20m of the wall. This will be combined with reusable bricks from the deteriorating wall during the repairs.
The work is expected to take two to three weeks to complete.
