A nice young man from the Greens knocked on my door (near Black Boy Lane) recently and asked me what issues concerned me as a resident heading up to the Council elections in May.
I was pleasantly surprised as I've never been door-knocked other than in the fortnight before a local election/by-election. I thought 'at least they're asking', noone from Labour has ever asked. Then it occurred to me that, by now, they should know. Their candidate won a seat in the last by-election in April 2025. That was a while ago and I haven't seen or heard anything from him since.
Am I in the minority? What has young Ruairidh done since being elected?
Has he helped resolve any issues for you with the Council or made any tangible improvements in St.Anns?
I'm not suggesting that he hasn't. I just haven't heard of any. Therefore, it would be good to know what experience others have had to help me decide whether to vote for him again.
Rest assured, if he's picked up a crisp packet and put it in a bin or planted a tree somewhere, he will have done more than Labour have ever done in the Ward.
So, how have the Greens performed locally in St. Anns this past year and should we vote for them again?
There are three seats. One now held by the Greens and two still held by Labour.

Well it is cleaner than Crouch End!
That is however more to do with the residents than the local councillors. I've never seen or heard from any of them.
Compared to the Ladder and other parts of Haringey, we have little to complain about on the Harringay Levels. There are a couple of persistent fly-tipping spots (alongside the bookies on the corner of Salisbury Rd and Green Lanes and around the Harringay Rd bus shelter) but they're usually cleaned up quickly.
I'll vote for 'anyone except Labour' again.
