Lib Dem councillors for Haringey have gone straight to the top in a fight to protect the Royal Mail delivery office in Muswell Hill.

Do you know a local group, charity or business that would be a worthy recipient of a local grant?

As your local Liberal Democrat councillors for Alexandra, Crouch End, Fortis Green, Highgate and Muswell Hill wards, we are seeking bids for a council fund called a Ward Budget. The money is available to local organisations to improve the well-being of the local community, environment or economy.

Haringey Lib Dems are organising a cross-party rally for a People's Vote on the 11th October at 18:30. The rally will take place outside Haringey Civic Centre just an hour before an Extraordinary Full Council meeting takes place.

The meeting was called by the Haringey Lib Dems to vote on Haringey Council supporting a People's Vote.

It is decision time on Brexit for Haringey Labour. The party has so far avoided taking a stance on whether there should be a People’s Vote on the final Brexit deal despite Haringey having the 5th highest remain vote in the country.

Haringey Liberal Democrats are calling for the Council to lead by example, and stop encouraging the use of disposable plastic items.

Cllr Scott Emery, Haringey Lib Dem spokesperson on the Environment, has written to Cllr Hearn, Cabinet Member for the Environment, proposing that the Council should begin charging 25p for disposable cups and promote reusable alternatives on its premises.

Haringey Council has recently consulted on plans for major changes to Wightman Road. The proposals included:

1. pavement parking being replaced with on-street parking
2. the creation of so called ‘informal’ crossings for pedestrians
3. the removal of ‘pedestrians islands’ that create ‘pinch points’ where cyclists can be forced under the wheels of cars.

However, local Lib Dems are warning that more drastic changes are required before Wightman Road is pedestrian and bike friendly.

Haringey Liberal Democrats are celebrating after getting cross-party support for a motion to ensure that all Haringey Council’s workers will be paid the London Living Wage. The motion was unanimously adopted by a meeting of Haringey’s Full Council on the evening of Monday 16th July.
