Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Haringey's progressive traffic boss faces the chop
With local elections in London round the corner, ward-level local political parties across the borough are choosing their who will represent them. Whilst it's not uncommon for sitting councillors to be endorsed to run again without challenge, there are also times when challengers are put forward.
Both the Harringay and St Ann's ward councillors will face a challenge this time. Mike Hakata, is a St Ann's councillor with cabinet responsibility for traffic across the borough. Haringey Council has a poor record on traffic management and it is way behind neighbouring boroughs in introducing new approaches to reduce rat-running and encourage active travel.
The Ladder, in particular, has been a victim of poor traffic management decisions going back over half a century. Mike Hakata is now apparently promising to tackle the issue head-on. After getting approval for a St Ann's low traffic neighbourhood, he has now turned his attention to the Ladder. Whilst I still have some concerns and questions about the approach that will be taken, Mike Hakata seems to be the best chance we have. it would be a crying shame to see him de-seated by his local party.
The vote in St Ann's is next week (Monday, I think). So if you are a Labour party member (which I am not) in St Ann's ward, please please do think about making sure that you vote and give full consideration to Mike's importance for the future wellbeing of the Ladder.

Sarah isn’t standing in May. I don’t think it’s right for me to give out the names as people who were unable to be at the meeting may not know yet.

Ha. I kind of understand, but not really. Thanks though.
Such a shadowy outfit, Haringey Labour.

It doesn't encourage you to have faith in the process does it?
Strange that Haringey Labour tweeted this kind of thing out for most wards but appear to have overlooked it for St Ann's

6 people were shortlisted from a very long list. The selection of the three ward councillor candidates happens on the evening of 15th.

I'm still puzzling about the aims of self-described "Momentum" candidates in organising as a supposedly left-wing party within the Labour Party to replace other left-wing councillors.
While at the same time ignoring a few existing councillors who are next to useless; incompetent; wasteful;and, in some cases, actively harmful.
