At last, something along the lines of a local manifesto.
From the new Harringay LD website:
KEY POLICIES
- We will carry out an appropriate holistic traffic survey of the Ward and its immediate surroundings within the first two years of a Lib Dem administration in order to tackle Harringay’s terrible traffic problems.
- We will make the council crack down on illegal conversions of family homes into flats and bedsits, ending Labour’s failure to use the council’s existing
enforcement powers.
- We will be tough on fly tipping and push for better, more frequent, street cleaning.
- We will reinvigorate local democracy by reforming our Area Assembly meetings. Making them more inclusive and better publicised.
OTHER POLICIES
- We will campaign for Parliament to change Labour’s disastrous Gambling Act which has resulted in the clustering of betting shops on Green Lanes. We will work to secure greater powers for councils to stop new betting shops opening.
- We will mobilise the community and the council to press for safe crossings, as we are now doing at Green Lanes and Frobisher Road.
- We will step up our campaign to secure fair funding for Haringey’s schools.
- We will introduce 24-hour policing in crime hotspots.
- We will install grit bins in Harringay ward in anticipation of harsher winters in years to come.
