Your Lib Dem councillors are demanding that Labour-run Haringey Council rethinks their new garden waste charges.

The Liberal Democrats welcome the news that the proposed plans to move Highgate Library into Jackson's Lane Arts Centre have been withdrawn, having been deemed not viable.

The Labour Mayor of London is proposing to make cuts which will affect our local Police service.

The plans set out by Sadiq Khan will mean the closure of the police front counters at Hornsey Police Station and the Fishmonger's Arms on Wood Green High Road, as well as axing the police contact point at Planet Organic in Muswell Hill. This would leave Tottenham as our only remaining Police contact point across the whole of Haringey.

We are pleased to inform you that Haringey Council have had a last-minute change of heart, and reconsidered their decision to stop sending planning application notices to local residents. Notification letters will continue to be posted out until further notice. 

Labour-run Haringey Council is scrapping letters informing local residents about planning applications near their home. 

Previously, residents would normally receive a letter saying that a planning application had been made nearby. From 1 September the Labour-run council will only be sending these letters to ‘directly involved parties’ (usually people within the same building), and not to nearby neighbours and people in the surrounding areas.

Over the last week we have been busy hand delivering letters (view a copy of it here) to local residents about Hornsey Town Hall and the latest planning application which delivers ZERO affordable or social homes, and no certainty over the final development.

Developers have submitted their planning application for the Hornsey Town Hall site. Having seen the plans, the Liberal Democrats are outraged that zero affordable homes have been included in the application. Under the original plans four out of the 146 homes, would have been affordable. This falls far below Labour Mayor, Sadiq Khan’s, 50% “genuinely affordable” homes target and will do nothing to tackle Haringey’s housing crisis.
