The Lib Dem team for Stroud Green have launched our election pledges for the neighbourhood. I joined Lynne Featherstone, Katherine Reece and Ed Butcher at the Stationers Park play fort (see picture) – to highlight our top three priorities for the ward. Our top three pledges are:
- We will make sure the Finsbury Park Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) is reviewed, and that streets outside the CPZ can join if there is residents support.
- We will fight for measures to slow down traffic on Upper Tollington Park and to make the pedestrian crossing safer.
- We will make sure the Stationers Park Play Fort is replaced with an even better play area – ending years of broken promises from Labour.
Of course, there are a million other things we want to do, from improving our children’s centre to fixing our pothole problem, but speaking to residents – its the council’s failure to sort out these three problems that is causing the most frustration. Residents are angry about the parking situation, want action on speeding traffic on Upper Tollington Park, and want an end to the years of broken promises on Stationers Park play fort.
I hope local residents will back these positive pledges to improve Stroud Green.
