Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

A rubbish day in Harringay - Sunday 9 July

There has been a bit of support for taking photos of rubbish left on The Ladder streets on one day in the summer - Sunday 9 July. The idea is that all the photos are posted on this discussion, one post per street with pics, and then forwarded to the Cabinet Member for Environment.

http://www.harringayonline.com/forum/topics/rubbish

It not a major undertaking, just up one side of the street and down the other, not forgetting the bits at the tops and bottoms of the road on Green Lanes and Wightman.

So far we have the following rubbish photographers

Justin Guest - Pemberton
Kotkas - Mattison and Duckett
Me - Warham, Seymour, Allison and Beresford (and Lausanne if my legs hold out)
Els - Sydney and Raleigh
Osbawn - Avondale
John D - Hampden and Frobisher
DS - Fairfax and Falkland
Hugh - Hewitt
ThaiDi -Hermitage
GraemeTP - Effingham
Gordon T - Cavendish and all points south

As Osbawn was the character who started off my legal defence fund nearly four years ago may I be the first to start off his and Emine's "give up smoking fund" by pledging £100 to the charity of their choice should they BOTH manage to give up smoking until at least the end of the year?

Osbawn, you are now officially marvellous.

Good God, Osbawn, your ambition knows no bounds. Are you really trying to smoke the entire "cabinet" and their officers out of their burrows?

Happy to meet with you and community members on this . John has emailed me about it and we just need to coordinate a time for all three cllrs. On the cigarette butt issue - bad habits breed bad habits ultimately but enforcement whilst important in changing behaviour until everyone gives up then it will be an issue particularly as rightly people have to smoke outside now. I know from my own experience of trying to find somewhere to put it out that whilst bins are the right place if there is no external facilities my pet hate is when someone doesn't put it out properly and you see bins with smoke streaming out. The number of times I have had to empty remains of water in bag or my overpriced latte!! And of course at bus stops so many people quickly stub out cigarettes before getting on bus or at train stations. Hence why you see enforcement operations at tube stations often. That's when us lot are at our most absent minded so focussed on running down the escalator not to be late on Monday morning! Because you never know there may not be a train for another 1 whole minute! :)

The Salisbury has a bucket :)

Nice one, Osbawn. You've managed to smoke at least one Labour councillor out of hiding. Brilliant ploy! But as far as bad habits go, I'd prefer fags and butts any day to so-called 'smartphones'. No Green Lanes or Wightman Road pedestrian has ever walked blindly into me on the footpath because they were smoking or stubbing out their butts, whereas dumbphoneusers do so regularly. Stub out the rubbish dumbphones, say I, not the fag butts.

I dunno Okd Age everyone knows my coffee and cigarette habit so am hardly hiding it :) I am not 15 and standing behind bikesheds. I am sure Osbawn has seen me succumb to the temptation of lighting up with my cappuccino, latte, or Turkish coffee on Green Lanes before too. Unfortunately coffee and cigarettes are my very negative trademark it doesn't mean I don't agree with dealing with the issue and I welcome enforcement.

Oh no, Emine. I wasn't suggesting you've been hiding your coffee or cigarette habit. Just hiding.

Well your clearly wrong though you and Osbawn have never hid your disdain for me my politics and pretty much everything else. Though I have to say well done John Mcmullan for revealing that Osbawn himself shares my smoking habit. At the very least I am putting my hands up and saying that it's very improbable that I have never discarded my cigarette. I love honesty I also love honesty and fairness :)

Emine. I mean this in the nicest possible way - could you have a look in your Haringey.gov inbox and see if you have a mail from me ? ( two actually )

I replied to you John yesterday - you are John Douglas ?

Yes Emine thank you. Would it be possible for you to get together with Gina and Zena to decide on a day / time that would suit you all ? I will be very busy next week so it will have to be at the beginning of next month.

Hi John

I'll talk to Emine and Gina to get a date. 

On Saturday Emine and I will be holding our joint surgery at Paul's Church on Cavendish Road, 11am-1pm. We have coffee and biscuits! Why not come and have a preliminary discussion?

The surgery is of course, open to anyone - it doesn't have to be a personal problem- we are happy to talk over local issues and to try work out how these might be solved or mitigated.

Zena
