Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Councillors to vote on Haringey budget - will it be a council tax freeze? Yes it will.
COUNCILLORS will vote on how Haringey's council taxpayers' money will spent at a budget-setting meeting .
Earlier this month, Haringey Council leader Claire Kober announced that the cabinet would propose a motion to freeze the annual fee at its current rate.

UPDATE: The budget was agreed on
A Council Tax freeze, a boost for frontline services and major efficiency savings are at the heart of a budget agreed by Haringey Council last night (Monday, February 22).
- More than £3.5million will fund schemes to help create new jobs, while investment in a credit union (we talked about this idea on HOL) will offer residents access to low cost finance.
- Efficiency savings will enable the council to invest £7.8million in service improvements, much of it focused on supporting vulnerable groups in children's and adult social care.
- Capital budgets have also been boosted to £217million with further investment in schools, parks and open spaces, leisure facilities, roads, footpaths, street lighting and equipment for disabled people.
- Efficiencies of £7million will be achieved by focusing on 'back office' savings.

Thanks for this Liz.
I for one do notice Claire Kober quotes and my favourite one [after her recent appointment of an existing "Executive Cabinet Member" to take over Brian Haley's responsibilities] is that "John Bevan is well placed to hit the ground running". He of digital TV aerial fiasco fame. It is unclear if Cllr. Bevan is to fall, or flee, or both.
