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?

Liverpool Road is technically part of a 20mph zone, and such zone have
to be self-enforced with traffic calming. Why they made the speed
limit on that road 20mph I have no idea.

It is not really a rat-run but is used as a convenient alternative to
the A1 avoiding Highbury Corner (and is also actually straighter).

Incidentally, Camden Park Road is part of the A5200 yet has a 20mph
speed limit and speed humps, and that's an A-road not a B-road.

Traffic is also not allowed to turn left from Torriano Avenue (also
part of the A5200) into the primary route which is Camden Road (A503),
and instead is diverted down a parallel road with humps. (This can be
avoided using some side-streets).
