This week I’ve been helping to deliver our local Stroud Green FOCUS leaflet, which is a great opportunity to spot problems that need sorting on local roads. For instance, I’ve reported this graffiti at the top of Inderwick Road near the junction with Ridge Road (see picture).
Of course, you also see all the problems you’ve raised with the Council but which they’ve failed to take proper action on. Sticking with Inderwick Road -I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve raised the appalling condition of the roads and pavements. Bizarrely, the Council have taken half-action by replacing the pavement on one side of the street (but not the other), and re-tarmacing the northern half of the road (but leaving the southern half). The result is to make the unrepaired sections look more obvious – its like cleaning one pane of a window but leaving the other pane dirty.
I’ll keep up the battle for the Council to finish what they’ve started on Inderwick Road. I hope they remove more than half the graffiti.

one of reason i moved out of London was because lack and care in which Haringey dealt with any subject this not recent thing it even go back to sixty when school in Haringey deliberately let black school children fail proof of altitude of council at that time was fact no black child got pass red swimming awarded between 1966-77 why ?
as for cleaning the street the council very happy to spend 1500 pound a day on consultant to help with their PR but would be prepared to spend 10 hour on read sweeper …….
who i am not important but i’m starting a campaign to get Haringey to become first privately run council in uk -
