Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Lammy's on the move ....
The Lammy house hold are on the move. Several removal vans outside, all with parking tickets on of course. Maybe someone will be able to let us know if our MP is staying in Harringay or even Haringey. Could this be inspired by a need to be near a certain school? Surely not!

Care to post what you emailed on here?
I have about a 50% reply rate from him which is not bad as I am just a Harringay whinger and I'm sure the people further East have bigger problems to deal with.

Bumped into Nora today (works in Lammy's 'office'). She's keeping stum on the matter.

It's official ... Lammy's off to sunny Stroud Green. Inside Haringey or not, it doesn't really matter, as he's leaving his constituency. The temptation of Crouch End cafes and schools must have got too much.

If Mr Lammy is moving to Stroud Green, he will be welcome to join the Stroud Green Residents' Association (SGRA). One of our perennial concerns is parking and CPZs and I look forward to hearing the MP's contribution, possibly based on personal and practical experience.

You have to walk back up the hill from Crouch End to get home. Anyone who has lived in Stroud Green knows that he will be frequenting the excellent Papagone's and possibly sending his kids to St Aidan's (which I saw reopened by the queen in 1998 after a fire).

I can understand David Lammy wanting a bigger house as he has two young children, and probably has more planned. BUT it's odd that he couldn't find one within his constituency. There's a lovely house - six bedrooms - opposite Downhills Park he could have had for just over £400k.
What chutzpah from David Schmitz! If the LDs couldn't win all 3 seats in Harringay at the height of Labour's unpopularity amongst young and Muslim voters (think Iraq) then they're certainly not going to winall 3 in 2010.

I thought the tories were all for 'free movement' - and I thought it was only in 'socialist states' that people were 'required' to live at a particular location.
Of course we can all read between the lines as to why he's doing it - and that's the real intention of this discussion. But if you all have something to say against him moving - then spit it out!!
I find it all rather sly and underhanded.. but that's local politics at its best..
and p.s. @Justin - do you really think that Muslims are going vote Tory- the party that gave the Labour party it's majority over the Iraq war.. come on..

Anybody who can't endorse their own product doesn't have faith in it. No one can have a go at David for moving but as Justin says there are plenty of larger properties in Harringay and in the wider constituency.
If he has moved because of schools it proves he has no faith in his local schools. I wonder if he has any explanation for him turning his back on Harringay and the constituency as a whole, I would be interested to hear what he has to say.

Thanks for this B2 and thanks for being open with your thoughts..
I agree with you - and perhaps now an answer may come. But, since you left your comment, things seem to have gone very quiet on the Hol members side of the Lammy move .. I wonder why? Perhaps it's easy to cause a stir, but not so easy to back it up with good arguments..

1. It is not right that a man who seems to have more control over education in this country than me moves away from me to send his kids to a different school because something is perceived to be wrong with the ones near me.
2. It is not right that he stays and does all he can to improve his local school either as that's almost nepotism.
3. It is not right that he tells his children he chose his principles (assuming he does actually have some) over them if he keeps them at what he thinks is not the best school when he does have the resources to take them somewhere better.
What we're really probably all mad about is that if we all hang tough here and send our nice little kids to the local school it will improve just because there will be enough of them. And this is on top of the work that some parents do in PSAs etc to improve their child's school. The trick is nobody can blink or the whole thing starts to unravel.
He is not the first parent to move away from here 'for his children' and he won't be the last.

And he'll be back this Sunday to see his old haunts already, to open the Harringay Festival. Wonder if he'll pop into the Salisbury to listen to a little jazz from 6pm onwards. Hang on a minute, probably not as I've never ever seen him down at his local before.
