Harringay online

Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Sorry to mention the elephant in the room but something scary is happening to house prices in the local area. I'm talking about some places rising by over 10% in the last week. Nearly 40 % in the last two years.

Speak to the estate agents, something unprecedented it's happening with the cost of home ownership, especially between wood green tube and ally pally.

It's possible this government may become known as seeing through the largest distribution of wealth from the poor to the rich ever ....

The video has disappeared from the website archive so I cant look it up, I remember Reg Rice was chairing the latest one.  Six Labour inc Cllr Rice, 4 LIbdems. All fresh to the Grainger plan, except the necessary revisit from the reformed Cllr Christophides. Cllr Basu (Seven Sisters) IIRC, who spoke not one word. The rest of the Enclave were shimmering away quietly in the back row.

"The re-jigged numbers were to reflect the changed makeup of the council post the last election, so they claimed."

"So they claimed"?  Another of your previously raised points, Pam. Where you seem to suggest once again that the two political groups were not following the law on proportionality in the allocation of places in Council decision-making committees.

I may be wrong, but I don't recall any such claim. The LibDem Chief Whip at the time was, I think, Cllr Monica Whyte - nobody's fool and someone ready and able to argue her corner with toughness and persistence.

Please bear in mind as well that during the current council term the LibDem representation fell by two - Cllrs Lynn Weber and Matt Davies became independents. Committee proportions had to change to reflect that fact.

Can I propose HoL recognition of "Pam's Law" - like Godwin's Law.  The new adage states that in any  HoL online thread —regardless of topic — someone inevitably brings up Wards Corner.

Because there is a huge pool of anger that doesn't take much to stir up. It's not over yet. 

But Pam, I'm not asking people to stop raising the issues. Nor that they forget; and even less insisting that they forgive. (Personally, I rarely do either.)

But focusing anger and attention on Wards Corner allows the Tories "Labour" councillors running Haringey to continue with their social cleansing programme in North Tottenham. It also lets them avoid effective criticism and opposition to their "regeneration" plans elsewhere in Tottenham.  Currently with what looks to me like a fake Janet and John consultation enabling them to pretend it's what residents want.

As I live one minute from Wards Corner, it's hardly surprising that it's my priority. Believe it or not, I can also care about and campaign about bad things happening elsewhere, at the same time. This includes inputting to the Tottenham Futures exercise. 

"Pam's Law" - brilliant.

Pam, so I don't mislead you and anyone else reading this thread, I checked with Cllr Pat Egan, the Labour Chief Whip. He confirmed that when two LibDems councillors became Independents: "'. . . the balance changed. As a result Planning went  up by one on our side. This was checked and verified by officers."

Here's a cute little place, you could run a summer time cream tea cafe ...

Wow...

I love the way the ad makes no reference whatsoever to the fact that this place is (a) a Hobbit House and (b) just utterly crazy - surely its two sole selling points?

What with the purple house and some of the craziest prices asking I've seen in my life, this has been an odd week for property.

Yeah it's amazing how estate agents don't feel the need to actually do anything anymore.

I love that house personally, great garden, will be interesting to see what it actually goes for.

That house could be lovely.......

Look what £300k will get you in Liverpool 'burbs.  They have recently dropped the price by 50k, can't imagine why it hasn't sold.  The slideshow may give a clue.
