Road closures and 'at home' therapists

Haringey is putting me in a difficult position as I am self-employed and regularly visit residents with disability as a physical and massage therapist as well as a rehabilitation exercise tutor I find myself also volunteering to bring food and essentials to some of the patients who are housebound.

I mainly support their fitness, and I provide massages. I also have appointments across the borough, providing valuable service for the borough Health and fitness. I cannot afford to be in too much traffic as we have a short limited time to reach each scheduled appointment. 

The road closures are denying me the right to work and the right for people to receive my therapeutic services.

The last closure of Bruce Grove will highly affect my journeys between South Tottenham, Wood Green and Crouch End My clientele extends to Enfield and Brent, therefor the new closure of bounce green has already affected my business. 

Brent has not pursued the LTN which was in place during the lockdown. As the traffic was low it was not an issue as mainly all roads were clear, In 2020 and 2021 brent asked me to continue looking after my patients even though I live in Waltham Forest. 

Social services has been clear that therapists of my class have a responsibility towards my vulnerable clients.

Haringey LTN isn't taking in consideration the delivery of such services decreasing the benefit of health and social care in the borough.

The increasing level of stress and expenses (petrol) caused the scheme is a problem for me doing me from doing my job.

Road closures are a form of lockdown and will highly impact the most vulnerable.
