Tottenham Borough Council disappeared in 1965 to be subsumed into the London Borough of Haringey. Here its neglected sign still stands warning that the riding of bicycles, tricycles or other similar machines on the footpath is prohibited and subject to a £2 penalty fine. Today this warning is ignored as the users of such machines plus e-scooters happily ride on the pavements without fear of sanction. The fine in 1965 would be about a tenth of an average national weekly wage so today about £60.
